Dining

Restaurant Imperial - This elegant fine-dining restaurant serves dinner in a dark-wood-paneled dining room. High-backed armchairs are seated around candle-lit linen-clad tables adorned with seasonal centerpieces and separated from one another by period frosted-glass screens. Signature dishes include a Supreme of Quail on truffeled Black Salsify.

Café Imperial - Serving breakfast, lunch, and light dinner, the Café Imperial's coffee-house atmosphere attracts locals as well as hotel guests. Waitresses dressed in starched blue-and-white uniforms serve the hotel's famous Imperial Torte and Viennese coffee on monogrammed china. In the afternoons there is live piano music.

Bar Maria Theresia - The Maria Theresia's smoothly curved bar, rococo-style sofas and armchairs and cunningly-designed private nooks make this a highly atmospheric location for a post-business or pre-dinner drink. In summer, the bar extends into an open-air terrace.

“Lives up to its reputation”

Thanks to everyone

“Phenomenal Hotel”

The hotel was absolutley breath-taking!!!!! We felt like a king and queen in our room. King size bed...fluffy pillows...very luxurious. Hotel staff was friendly and prompt, the room was more than clean. At night they would put chocolates on our pillows :) We could not have asked for a better hotel. The location was great, it was near the subway and the downtown shopping. It was above and beyond our expectations!!!!! I would highly recommed this hotel to anyone staying in Vienna. One minor problem when we left...they accidentaly charged my credit card about $300...but they admitted their mistake and fixed it immediatley!

“Beautiful stay - would recommend it & stay again”

We were offered the Elizabeth Suite for a discounted rate when we arrived. It was fabulous. Lovely, imperial style decor with great, attentive service. Just what you'd expect in a luxury hotel.

Traveler's tip
Right in the center of the action of what you'll want to see while you're in Vienna. Within 10 minute walking distance of Staatsoper, Stephensdom and shopping.

“This Imperial Feeling...”

The hotel is simply impressive. We stayed in the elizabeth suite for three nights and we really felt like royalty. You must definately enjoy a whiskey and a cigar on the lobby. The restaurant of the hotel is way more than just a hotel restaurant. Simply amazing, this hotel just made our holiday a bit more special.Fully reccomended
