Michelin Guide "This traditional hotel is run with dedication and Viennese charm."
Frommer's "From the outside, this six-story landmark, a Westin hotel, looks no different from Vienna's other grand buildings; but connoisseurs of Austrian hotels maintain that this is a superb choice." Full review
Concierge ""Centrally located across the street from the opera house," this hotel has rooms that "take your breath away" with rich textiles and marble, crystal, and gold accents."
Insight Guides "An Art Nouveau building dating from 1884 providing a bit more cosiness than many other five-star hotels."
Travel + Leisure "Grand 19th-century hotel with lavish fin de siècle interiors and Restaurant Bristol, serving some of the city’s best Wiener schnitzel, in a prime location—just opposite the State Opera." Full review
DK Eyewitness "One of the top addresses in town, where celebrities and politicians stay for official or private visits. The 140 rooms offer great views of the Staatsoper opposite."
Star Service "This supremely successful operation has arguably the best location on the Ring, and it is connected to an upscale mall." Full review

Rough Guide "Grandiose, century-old flagship of the Austria Trend hotel chain, and preferred pad of visiting opera stars thanks to its proximity to the Staatsoper."

Avoid the dark interior rooms and singles, which are small and plain, but beware the excessive street noise that emanates upward from the outside.
