Step into imperial grandeur at the legendary Hotel Imperial, Vienna's most prestigious address since 1873. Originally built as a palace for royalty, this five-star landmark on the famous Ringstrasse has welcomed emperors, queens, and world leaders for over 150 years—and remains the official lodging for guests of the Austrian government.
Liveried doormen greet guests at the entrance that was once wide enough for a two-horse carriage. The hotel's Italian Neo-Renaissance façade hints at the splendor within: a grand marble Royal Staircase lit by crystal chandeliers, rooms adorned with antiques and silk walls, and high stucco ceilings that radiate aristocratic elegance.
The dining here matches the hotel's regal pedigree. We’ll gather for dinner at the hotel’s Michelin-starred OPUS, where Chef Werner Pichlmaier reimagines Austrian classics with contemporary flair. During your free time, savor Viennese café culture at the hotel’s Café Imperial Wien, home of the famous Imperial Torte—a decadent chocolate-marzipan creation crafted to honor Emperor Franz Joseph I.
Located just steps from the Musikverein concert hall and the State Opera, the Hotel Imperial places you at the heart of Vienna's cultural legacy. This is where history lives and breathes—and where we'll immerse in the elegance of imperial Vienna together.
