Vienna’s first address – defining the destination since 1873. Originally built as a private residence for Prince Philipp of Württemberg, the magnificent palace at Vienna’s iconic Ringstrasse was converted into Hotel Imperial for the 1873 World Exhibition. The rooms and suites, with their aristocratic flair, are clad in silk and marble and decorated with crystal chandeliers, antiques, and marble baths. Café Imperial Vienna treats visitors to traditional Viennese specialties, including the fabled Imperial torte. Awarded three toques by Gault et Millau, Restaurant OPUS is among the world’s finest gourmet temples.
