“Prince of Württemberg's Palace turned luxury hotel in 1873 offers grandeur, history and comfort. Massive rooms and suites are classic in style. Enjoy the award winning restaurant, the popular bar and the live music entertainment. With metres upon metres of marble, this is a truly majestic stay. ”

Hotel Review

The Grande Dame of Vienna’s hotels and the venue for state visits (the Queen and Prince Philip have stayed in the fabulous Royal Suite), the sepulchral, palatial Imperial was built for the Duke of Wurtemburg in 1863 and became a hotel ten years later, with a private entrance to the adjacent Musikverein concert hall. Its rooms (half are suites, with private butler, some with roof terraces) are in superb condition and the last word in traditional Viennese elegance.

Hotel Imperial

"It quickly became one of the political, social and cultural centres of the city: from a musical perspective alone, Brahms, Wagner, Mahler, and Bruckner were all regulars here."
