Concierge "This 138-room hotel veritably drips with royal treatment—right down to the hand-ironed newspaper your butler delivers with the morning coffee."
Fodor's "One of the landmarks of the Ringstrasse, this hotel has exemplified the grandeur of imperial Vienna ever since it was built." Full review

Michelin Guide "Everything fits perfectly with the historic setting."
Frommer's "The interior is plushly outfitted with 19th-century architectural motifs, all impeccably restored and dramatically illuminated." Full review
Fodor's "Its taste shows in the superbly designed facade, articulated with window pediments, and caryatids. The location is also princely—directly across from the Stadtpark, Vienna's main city park." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Palais Leitenberger and the Palais Henckel von Donnersmarck were converted into a 5-star hotel in the late 20th century."
Lonely Planet "Spread across two historic palace buildings, this is one of the top addresses in town and a preferred option among visiting state dignitaries." Full review
