Hostel

More than a bed. A future space for culture, connection, and social impact in Linz.

A New Hostel for a New Linz

The planned Linz Hostel – part of The Social Impact Hub – is not a typical hostel.
It is envisioned as a space that blends accommodation, culture, and community in a meaningful way.

A place where people can arrive, find orientation, make new friends, and become part of a modern, welcoming Linz.

Planned Opening: 2026

Why a Socially-Oriented Hostel?

Travelers, students, newcomers, and digital workers need more than just a room.
They need a place that welcomes them, supports them, and connects them with the city.

The hostel will serve as:

  • an entry point into the community,
  • a bridge between visitors and locals,
  • a cultural meeting space,
  • and a catalyst for social integration.

What Makes This Hostel Unique

Community-Focused

Every stay opens the door to events, workshops, and meaningful encounters.

Socially Sustainable

Inclusive employment models and collaborations with local social partners.

Culturally Rooted

A design and program approach that celebrates Linz as a cultural city.

Future-Oriented

Digital tools for community interaction, event booking, and connecting guests.

The Space

A modern community hall with large windows for natural light and elegant pendant lights that enhance the ambiance

The hostel is designed to be more than a place to sleep.

It will feature community areas, social spaces, cultural rooms, and flexible zones for workshops and exchange.

A Pillar of the Larger Vision

The hostel is one pillar of the broader Social Impact Hub –
a cultural, social, and community center for Linz.

It will form the physical anchor of a project that goes far beyond tourism.
