Built as the Prince of Wurtemberg’ s private residence, the luxurious palace on Vienna’ s fabled Ring was refurbished as a hotel for the universal exhibition of 1873. Ever since, the Imperial has been a byword for discretion and impeccable service around the world. Tradition not only lives on but is lovingly cultivated. Each and every guest room blends timeless elegance with the latest comfort with tasteful furnishings, marble bathrooms and walls cocooned in silk.

In deluxe surroundings you will enjoy the discreet charm of the butler service. Precious antiques conjure up the atmosphere of nineteenth century Vienna. The Café Imperial is the international society rendez vous for a luncheon or dinner, for a small espresso or a large cappuccino with a generous helping of the world famous Imperial Torte. Natural ingredients make this delicious chocolate cake a heavenly experience.

Traditional Viennese cuisine blends harmoniously with exotic cooking at the elegant Restaurant Imperial. Raise your glass at the Bar Maria Theresia where the piano player reminds you that you are in the city of music, home to so many world-famous composers. The Imperial is the perfect place to stay in Vienna - the city on the blue Danube with its parks, theatres and opera houses.
