Sky Loft

The Sky Loft on the 3rd floor, directly adjacent to the Bistro CUBUS with a view of the Danube and the old town of Linz, offers a unique ambience for every event. Whether seminars with 20 participants or events with 120 guests โ€“ the Sky Loft adapts to the size of any event. The flexible room concept, the individual seating arrangements and the modern technical equipment make events a complete success. In the evening, 40,000 LEDs backlight the partly transparent, partly translucent glass surface of the space between the facades and envelop the Sky Loft in an indirect play of colors.
