Vienna

Park Hyatt Vienna transforms a former bank in the Golden Quarter into a grand, deeply private city retreat. During her 2016 Anti World Tour stop, Rihanna occupied the two-level Royal Penthouse, returning after a night out to terraces, onyx stairs and a morning view over Vienna.

Frank Sinatra is among the world stars who stayed at Hotel Imperial during visits to Vienna. The association feels almost inevitable in a palace hotel of chandeliers, high ceilings and formal service. Its suites carry the ceremony of imperial Vienna, while the address near the Musikverein keeps music close to the experience—a fitting setting for one of the twentieth century's defining voices.

Hotel Sacher Wien wraps Vienna’s grand-hotel tradition in polished mahogany, original art and the discreet service of an independent family house opposite the State Opera. Romy Schneider lived here with her mother during filming of the Sissi films, making the Sacher a private base through the role that defined her early career. Today its jewel-toned rooms, intimate bars and namesake chocolate cake still deliver the imperial glamour of classic European stardom.

At The Ritz-Carlton Vienna, the address within four historic palaces at the city's heart supplies the strongest sense of place. The hotel itself stays characterful, giving guests a composed base in Vienna.

Hotel Sans Souci is a five-star hotel in Vienna. The experience is deliberately straightforward, giving guests a composed base while the destination itself supplies the sense of occasion.
