Ronald McDonald Haus Wien Kinderspitalgasse

Our first Ronald McDonald Haus Wien Kinderspitalgasse opened in 1987. Located directly opposite St. Anna Children’s Hospital, its modern family rooms can accommodate up to 15 families at a time. 

Renovated in 2024, the building has a fully equipped communal kitchen on every floor, two spacious playrooms and a green terrace where families can retreat and relax. Here, families can enjoy an almost “normal” daily routine despite the challenges they face.

This home away from home close to the hospital provides families with a familiar, family-oriented environment that is an important part of their child’s recovery.
