The hotel is situated right in the heart of Vienna on the historic Parkring, across the road from the Stadtpark, which is the home of the gilded Johann Strauss monument. Just a short distance away by foot, you will find famous attractions such as the State Opera, the Stephansdom and Vienna's fashionable shopping district. Visitors will appreciate the hotel's original Ringstrassen palaces, the Palais Leitenberger and Palais Henckel von Donnersmarck, which were originally built in 1872 as two detached familiy houses. At the end of the 20th century the two former palaces were carefully incorporated into todays elegant 5 star hotel property, offering all modern facilities and amenities.
