"With a luxury spa, custom-designed furnishings and a Michelin-starred restaurant, Palais Hansen Kempinski is an ideal choice for those seeking an upscale experience in the historic city."

Originally built as a hotel to house visitors to the 1873 World Exhibition, today’s Palais Hansen Kempinski occupies this lovely heritage-listed building in the Boerse district of Vienna, just two blocks from the Danube River. Renaissance revival architecture sets the backdrop for your stay in this five-star palace on the prestigious Ringstrasse Boulevard that seamlessly combines historic charm with modern comforts. You’ll find dozens of museums within a 15-minute walk, as well as St. Stephen's Cathedral and Sigmund Freud Park.

Make your choice from the 152 contemporary guest rooms and suites spread across three floors with views of the inner courtyard, Schottenring Street and Deutschmeister Square. While the room decor offers a sense of timeless elegance, you'll find modern technology including Nespresso machines and iPads that are used to control the entertainment system, order room service and read the morning newspaper. Connecting rooms are available for those travelling with family or friends, or a suite may be the way to go. With a grand piano and whirlpool tub, the Presidential Suite is very special, but the Junior Suites, while smaller, may be a good compromise.

For unforgettable fine dining, head to Michelin-starred Edvard which, like the hotel, is named after the architect Theophil Edvard Hansen who originally designed the building. The contemporary cuisine on the menu boasts Mediterranean and Alpine influences; the extensive wine list will equally delight. Indulge in the famous Kempinski apple strudel in the Lobby Lounge, where it is served several times a day, freshly baked from the secret recipe of the former head pastry chef’s grandmother. Sip champagne and spirits in the Lobby Bar, or visit the cigar lounge for a selection of fine cigars, cognacs and whiskies.

Take a break from exploring Vienna to relax in the on-site spa which features a full menu of treatments including Rhassoul body treatments and hot stone massages. The 24-hour fitness centre is equipped with cardio and weight training machines by Technogym, while the indoor pool provides the perfect place for a refreshing swim. You'll also find a sauna, steam bath and quiet relaxation areas.
