By Ernest The Kremslehner Hotel in Vienna offers outdoor Wi-Fi connectivity in central Vienna. Literally two blocks away, my phone picked up their login portal when I didn't even notice that there was even a hotel nearby (I find it especially hard to distinguish one monument from another!) The Hotel's login page was customized to allow their guests and visitors to gain internet access while strolling through downtown Vienna.  An innovative and smart way of business management, allowing the possibility to contact hotel staff in case of an emergency or  perhaps a need to re-book a room for an extra overnight stay. From the login information displayed, it seems that all guests and visitor may obtain a username and password at the hotel's reception upon check in. Next time I'll consider an overnight stay while evaluating their indoor wireless connectivity ; ) The Kremslehner Hotel in Vienna
