Our stay at Hotel Imperial Vienna was one of the best first-visits to a city I can remember. We had only two nights there and the hotel made sure we had an amazing experience without losing any time. A beautiful upgraded suite was ready and waiting for us at our (early) arrival hour, and Concierge Raphael had taken note of our interests and produced for us two prime seats to that night’s sold-out opera, bravo! Each aspect of the hotel’s service was of the highest standard with an extra level of genuinely warm and friendly and proactive hospitality that one doesn’t always encounter in hotels of the ‘grand’ genre. The Imperial’s location, standard of luxury and opulent historical Viennese atmosphere left a wonderful first impression. Most everything about Vienna exceeded our expectations, but having the Imperial as our home base put the marzipan on our cake.. we can’t wait to return, and know exactly where we’ll stay.…

Hotel's Favourite
Without hyperbole, I can stay this is my absolute favorite city hotel in the world. Yes, the world. This was my second time in Vienna and second time staying at the Hotel Vienna, though on this visit we spent four nights at the hotel and truly got to enjoy it in a way our brief, previous visit (during Covid) didn't allow. We stayed in an Elisabeth Suite, which is technically a step below the two-level Maisonette Suite we stayed in our first visit, though we enjoyed it far more. The Elisabeth Suites are near the Royal Suite, on the level atop the marvellous staircase. The rooms have 20-foot ceilings, an absurdly large bathroom with a shower so powerful it can bruise you if you don't temper it, a beautiful sitting area and an impeccable and attentive butler service. It was disappointing that the champagne brunch and Opus restaurant were both closed over the summer, though a lot of attractions in Vienna are. The Cafe Imperial was in fine form (try the Esterhazy Torte – it will change your life). We also took advantage of one of the semi-weekly property tours from the Chief Concierge, which we highly recommend to learn about the history of this magnificent property.…

The rooms are Modern Regal and roomy, Its an Ideal location within 15-20mins of a nice walk of all the major Location's 5 mins in a Taxi or Tram ride .. We will definitely return

Here's a list of good points: Location Street view Ambiance Lovely big colourful room Great room temps Water pressure and temperature King size bed was really comfy Pillows were great Nice and quiet room Negatives TV was old and didn't work properly. After reporting TV was fixed but still showed only 50 odd standard cable channels. No movies, no netflix login etc. No USB ports for charging devices No plug points near the bed Weird headboard which made sitting up watch broken TV uncomfy Reception/butler rarely available on phone, probably called 20+ times (always engaged) to get answered twice. Toiletries weren't replenished over the weekend. One small bottle of shampoo/conditioner/shower gel between two people? Shower incorrectly positioned which meant you either had to flood the bathroom or shower shaped like Gollum. Room looked a bit bare, I guess the rugs got removed for CoViD and never replaced... Broken blackout (electronic) blinds (though curtains worked well) Entrance to hotel is "broken" so side doors are ridiculous as they involve queuing and a heavy door. Cafe breakfast seemed average when I checked it out.…

Dear GazHD, Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us. I am glad to hear that you enjoyed our location, your room and also our ambiance. It is most regrettable that you were not satisfied in all aspects and we appreciate your detailed feedback. I understand your frustration with our TV. We are currently working on adding a Smart Function to our TV´s or replacing them so than guests can watch TV but also stream something. I kindly ask you for your understanding that it will take a bit of time to implement a smart function in all of our rooms. Thank you for your patience. All of our telephones next to the bed (and also on the desk or sideboard) have a USB Slot for charging. I am really sorry if this was not communicated to you and I apologize on behalf of the team. Thank you for your feedback regarding the headboard. We will look into it. Our highest priority is the satisfaction of our guest, therefore it is a special concern for us that you feel comfortable and cozy in bed. It is most unfortunate, that you did not reach the front desk and we agree, that is is unacceptable that you could not get through to the Front Desk team. On behalf of the entire team I apologize for your inconvenience. Due to your feedback we have had a training today to train that all calls are answered immediately or must be called back directly. It was our pleasure to upgrade your booking of a Classic Room to a Junior Suite. However, the Butler Service was not included with your booking of a Classic Room. Nevertheless, you should be able to reach Room Service at all times and I apologize that you were not able to. On behalf of the housekeeping team, I would like to express my apologies that the toiletries were not replenished. Since your room was booked for one person, housekeeping only prepared toiletries for one person. Unfortunately, at check in we failed to increase the number of people and thus provide you with more amenities and replenish them regularly. Our housekeeping manager has already addressed this in your team, so that this error will not happen in the future. The bathroom in the Junior is relatively small as you described. Since our special hotel celebrates 150 years this year, we have very individual rooms. For our next renovation we will gladly consider your constructive feedback to enlarge the bathroom. Thank you very much for your feedback. Regarding the rugs: our Royal rooms have a special parquet floor instead of carpet in the room, as in their original state. Therefore, we have new parquet flooring in some rooms - like your Junior Suite - as a tribute to our 1873 Palais, and due to the beautiful parquet flooring, we do not have rugs in some rooms. I would like to apologize for our entrance door, which unfortunately has a defect at the moment. Our technicians are working at full speed to repair it as soon as possible. We find the current solution also very unfortunate for our guests and do our best to repair the door as soon as possible. Dear GazHD, please be assured that we take your feedback very seriously and have discusses it in detail with our entire team to learn from your constructive review and also to take measures to ensure that future stays meet our high standards. Once again I would like to thank you for sharing your constructive feedback, we fully appreciate your comments and apologize for failing to meet your expectations. It would be our great pleasure to welcome you back to the Hotel Imperial and provide you a more positive Imperial experience. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me ahead of a future visit to Vienna. Yours sincerely, Carla Wittemann Assistant to the General Manager & Quality Assurance

As a “Lifetime Titanium Elite” Marriott Rewards member, and one since the Program’s inception, I can without hesitation say that The Imperial Vienna is the best Marriott property of the perhaps hundreds of which I have been a guest! We recently completed a nine night stay over the Christmas holidays, repeating an extended stay from four years ago. Historic, exquisite property perfectly maintained; the very best location in Vienna. But it is the staff within the property that sets The Imperial apart from others. Every staff member with whom we interfaced, talked to, was served by, helped or assisted was exceptional, no matter their station or position.. To really experience Vienna, this is the place!

What an amazing hotel, rooms are five star! Breakfast was amazing and so personable! Loved the bar where you could have tea or your favourite tipple. Travelling with our 10year old who loved the dog balloon she was given on arrival. Professional service with a personal touch would definitely go back.

I stayed one of the suites, and it was one of the most pleasingly proportioned and decorated rooms I have stayed in in 25 years of travel journalism, starting at The Times - I wrote about it in The Telegraph - and now at Condé Nast Traveller. However, beyond the exquisite aesthetics and the profound and fascinating history - and the truly five star grandeur - it was the staff who made the visit for me. They were definitely the best, and most helpful, while being completely unobtrusive, I have encountered in the industry. Bravo! All stars fully earned, and then some.
