The i Live group of companies was founded in 2011 and is one of the largest suppliers of lifestyle micro apartments in Germany. The subsidiary company i Live Hospitalty Services GmbH will start in September 2020 with the new Serviced Apartment Concept and thus with the first house in Vienna. Another seven hotel openings in Austria and Germany are planned by 2023. Rioca was born out of love for Brazil and the Cariocas: It is the home of our founder's heart and we are convinced of the warmth of Brazilian hospitality. With the spirit of the Carioca and inspired by the beach of Ipanema, Rioca gives you a temporary home. Travelers from all corners of the world check in with us not as strangers, but rather as friends.

Rioca means finding the warmth of Brazilian hospitality wherever you enter one of our houses. You will find with us the warmth that is commonplace in Brazil. In the same way that you are welcomed in Rio not as a stranger but as a friend, we invite people from all corners of the world to experience the Cariocas' attitude to life. Viva a alma Carioca! Welcome to the Rio way of life! We do not adhere to rigid standards, but meet people with naturalness coming from the heart. We offer a service that makes it easy to feel alive and comfortable. Whether they stay for a few days or many months, with us guests find a temporary home and the uncomplicated ease of real friendship. Our apartments offer the comfort of a home away from home and services that can be booked by anyone as it suits him or her. For example, breakfast with Brazilian delicacies in our Ipanema Café. If you want, you can open your office in the cosy coworking space, have dinner in your own apartment kitchen and later call us with Caipi at the bar "Saúde!".

Our Rioca Vienna Post 1 is located in the 20th district of Vienna Brigittenau and therefore on an island between the Danube and the Danube Canal. The district is known for the Millennium Tower and the Brigitta Church and is closely connected to the 2nd district, where the Vienna Prater is located. This is known as a recreation area, sports centre and above all as the green lung of Vienna. In only 400 meters distance from your apartment you will find the S-Bahn stop "Wien Traisengasse". From there the S7 takes you in 14 minutes to the main station and in about 30 minutes to the airport. To the "Wien Praterstern" it is even only 1 station and to the "Wien Mitte" 2 stations and 7 minutes.
