What a fantastic and memorable experience! Both the people who staff the hotel and the hotel itself are without peer when it comes to charm, refinement, kindness, and professional competence. Some may call it "old world". I say a stay at the Hotel Imperial is to encounter timeless and eternal proficiencies in total guest satisfaction from the moment of check in to the moment of check out. Other hotels may attempt to replicate this, but they never quite do. The rooms are lovely, the facilities are excellent, and the staff is the best ever. We love the champagne breakfasts on the terrace, and we appreciated the special room to view the Austria-Spain football match (sorry about the result, though). Special mention must be made for the people who helped make our recent visit exemplary: Ms. Claudia Steinmetz Mr. Dieter Ludewig Mr. Ilker Ozdemir Mr. Alex Zoller Mr. Albert Wagner Nabila Asia and Laetizia Thank you very much and we look forward to our next visit.

This was one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed at . It was once a private palace and still feels as if you are guest staying with royalty . The staff was amazing and the location was perfect. The room was gorgeous, clean, and bed was very comfortable. We loved their restaurant and the area with the bar was spectacular and they host live music . Lots of attention to detail, we would love to stay here again!

We stayed 4 nights and were upgraded to a higher room with a view which was much appreciated. The lobby and lounge areas were beautiful and reflected the classic grandeur the Imperial is known for. The front desk and concierge were always welcoming and took good care of us. The weak point is that there is just one cafe restaurant which feels very dated and could use a big overhaul to update the warmth and class the rest of the hotel presented. The food was average at best. Good location and we're glad we stayed there as we have a bucket list of trying to stay at the grand dame hotels in major world cities to get a taste of history.

The hotel name is exactly at the standard: an imperial luxury stay in the centre of Vienna. Absolutely recommended as the best hotel to live in a majestic aristocratic furniture and stay, with an history behind that deserves a short tour every morning organized by the concierge. I tried their Imperial cake, a sort of competition to the famous saker , but a different one, also with a secret recipe, very delicious. I really enjoyed their champagne breakfast, a must have in the booking. Everything was just perfect and I really recommend them and I will definitely come back.

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.
