The Pool at Grand Ferdinand

"There are three dining options; the stately 200 cover dining room serves a modern take on Austrian classics such as veal kidneys and Tafelspitz, the more intimate Gulasch & Champagne is suited to early evening aperitifs, while the Grand Étage rooftop bar sits alongside the pool and has knockout views across to Prater Park in the east"

"The hotel has a rooftop pool, which is unheard of in this mostly unchanging city, and it has glass walls that allow for an unparalleled vista"

"Its oasis garden is a little hideaway of lush greenery and climbing roses, and the rooftop pool gets some of the best views in the city"

"Breakfast (€29) is served on the panoramic rooftop terrace, adjacent to the heated, open-air infinity pool"

"Grand Ferdinand in Vienna is home to a few of our favorite boutique-hotel things: a rooftop pool, seriously cool design, exhibitionist-pleasing bathtubs in the suites, classic cars to hire for the day, three restaurants (two with bars), and, yes, plenty of schnitzel… Gustav Klimt once said, ‘true relaxation, which would do me the world of good, does not exist for me’"

"Its oasis garden is a little hideaway of lush greenery and climbing roses, and the rooftop pool gets some of the best views in the city"

"Highlights at this chic four-pearl property include a rooftop pool (a rarity in Vienna) with views over the city and three Viennese restaurants -- one of which is an exclusive members-only salon"
