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
Travel + Leisure "A palace turned hotel for the 1873 World’s Fair that’s also known for an at-the-ready concierge department (staffers are adept at securing last-minute opera tickets)." Full review

For the price, avoid the compact Casual rooms and opt for a Special one.
Frommer's ""Casual Luxury" is what they call it here. As you enter, the lobby sets the tone—comfy sofas in small formations create an immediate atmosphere of calm and familiarity." Full review
Afar Magazine "The descriptive tag of “casual luxury” is spot-on for this five-star design hotel." Full review
Travel + Leisure "It's all about casual luxury here, which translates to a less-buttoned-up sensibility than some of the stately, older hotels on the Ring." Full review
Fodor's "Following the trend toward smaller boutique properties, this luxury lodging takes its place alongside some of the Vienna's opulent grand hotels." Full review
