I was in Vienna with my young daughter for 3 nights. We stayed at this magnificent hotel. It was simply fabulous! Where shall I start? First, the location was fantastic. We only had 3 days so the fact that the hotel was walking distance to all of the historical sights was such a plus! It was a fluke that I... More

The only reason to give this hotel five stars is that there's nothing higher. It's an elegant, well-run old European hotel located in the center of Vienna, within walking distance of museums, palaces, landmarks, and upscale shopping. The rooms are large and so beautifully furnished that it looks like a palace. The staff couldn't be more helpful. The food in... More

I was in quite a few hotels in vienna already, but this one definitely got one of my favourite hotels. I stayed at the hotel for 4 nights. It is perfectly located, offers very nice food and hast supers rooms. My boyfriend and I enjoyed it very much, I'm sure we'll go there again. Hopefully soon.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights. It met all my expectations and more. This is a grand hotel and oozes with class. But what sets this hotel apart from the rest, beyond the excellent location, Is the staff. Top notch and professional. I had a minor personal incident which required attention and the staff, headed by Claudia, were... More

My 88 year old mother wanted to do a trip to Austria as she remembered it during her youth. The hotel is grand and fits the name Imperial. The common areas are opulent but also have a coziness to them. The Bar is not to be missed for an intimate cocktail. There is outdoor seating as well. The staff will... More

I could have stayed longer. I only had one night at this great hotel. You can see and feel the history. I was blown aways from the great staircase. Cafe Imperial is a must go place and the Imperal cake a must have (this cake is even gluten-free). I will be back!

Highly recommended.... This is a very special hotel! The staff is exceptionally helpful and polite. The room was so comfortable, charming, and large. My room location - above the main entrance to the hotel wasn't a problem! It had a walk out balcony and at night all I had to do was push a button to close these large shutters... More

Built in 1863 as a city palace and it still looks like one inside. The Imperial must be one of the world’s most attractive hotels and is frequented by pop and film stars and the world’s leaders. The standard (classic room) rooms, one of which I had are very nice and reasonably spacious, the junior suits are excellent and the... More

Want to know whether the hotel is grand? Just look at the doorman! The higher the hat, the fancier it is. It holds true for Hotel Imperial. From the well-dressed doorman, the amazing murals on the walls and the cathedral ceiling, to the extravagant crystal chandeliers in the lobby, no detail is ever too small to spare. We stayed at...
