We had the most wonderful stay here. We were celebrating our anniversary, and the hotel left balloons, flowers, sparkling wine, and chocolates in our room. The staff was over- the-top helpful. The breakfast was wonderful. We enjoyed lunch there one day, too. Here is a hint. Make reservations in advance for afternoon tea. It is complimentary, but you have to reserve in advance. It is from 12:30-4:30 daily. A special shout out to the concierge Felix Fischer,and the wait staff, Harry Fuchs. These service staff need to be commended for being outstanding at their jobs. The hotel is historic. We love that. It is just a very beautiful place to stay.

Checked in at 3pm for a week long stay and checked out four hours later due to no hot water in our suite. This may have been luxurious in the 1980’s, but it’s FAR from it today….tired, deferred maintenance, and did I mention NO HOT WATER? Arrival began with the doormen dropping both our bags onto the street (with no apologies). Nothing worse than traveling 15 hours to have no hot water in your $800 per night hotel. As a decades long Marriott Bonvoy member, I’ve visited Courtyard by Marriotts that were cleaner, better maintained and had HOT WATER. My wife and I visit Europe every spring and enjoy great hotels…Le Meurice in Paris, Claridges in London, the Balmoral in Edinburgh, the St Regis in Rome, etc. The Imperial is in nowhere near the same level, not even close. Go elsewhere like we did…after only four hours.

This was our first stay at the Imperial and it certainly makes you go "oh wow" when you arrive in the lobby. The staff are so nice and do anticipate your needs a lot of the time and go the extra mile to smile and make your stay personal, special and a happy experience. It was my wife's birthday while we were there and we had not mentioned it but when we returned from a concert there was a vase of red roses, a Tort with fresh fruit and a bottle of champagne in the room, how lovely is that. We will need to return to Vienna as we did not allow enough time to visit all the places, venues and pastry shops we would have liked. We look forward to our next stay at the Hotel Imperial.

Choose this hotel in Vienna! Centrally located within easy walking to Old Town, the rooms are beautifully appointed and impeccably kept; housekeeping superb. Book the Sisi Suite-you are transported to an Old World, gracious setting in this spacious, two-room gorgeous suite. That being said, what sets this hotel apart is the caring and thoughtful staff-attentive Attila, Felix, and Raphael at the front desk thoughtfully made suggestions, booked restaurants and touring choices. In fact, when I had emailed concierge Felix in advance of our arrival asking for suggestions, he promptly replied with a comprehensive list of suggested restaurants (all excellent choices), theater options, activities so that we were well-prepared before arrival. The caring extends to the always good-humored and efficient doormen, the polite Imperial Bar and Imperial Café staff. Don't miss breakfast-an endless array of fresh, locally sourced selections-truly a dream along with the creative coffee selections. We loved dinner in the café as well-excellent suggestions and service.

Just **wow**. I'm happy to say this hotel lived up to all of my expectations while in Vienna for the first time. We wanted an elegant, European, fancy, comfortable, well located hotel for our two-day say and this is exactly what we got. Aside from the "imperial" atmosphere, the manager and staff were simply exceptional. Anita Baur, the assistant front office manager was a gem, so friendly and informative, always helpful to provide information. Highlights for us were the elegant and comfortable rooms, the turndown service, the small details like water and chocolates. We had drinks several times in the lobby bar which was elegant and our friends were surprised to have one of the best margaritas made by an Italian bartender - cheers to her and the hotel!
