the hotel imperial is located downtown within walking distance of many of the sights of vienna. this historic luxury hotel gives the visitor the feeling of vienna during the time of the habsburgs. the hotel imperial is very expensive especially today with the weak dollar but if you want the atmosphere of old vienna this is an excellent place to stay. this property is owned by starwood hotels.

Unique Quality: Situated along the Vienna Ring, this top class hotel is not for the average traveller. Here presidents, royalty and extremely rich businessmen stay during their visit to Vienna.

If you ask anyone in Vienna to name the best hotel in the city, you are more than likely to hear two names proferred; and although the Sacher will almost certainly get a mention it'll be the Imperial that ultimately rules the roost. For it's position on the Ringstrasse is matched only by it's position in high society. If you're a Head of State, Chairman of the Board or Top of the Pops then the Imperial will be where you'll book a suite.
Why do people love it? Because it's grand, magnificent, snobbish, ostentatious. Why do some people hate it? Because it's grand, magnificent etc etc. Basically if you want old world charm on a grand scale and a doorman who will run towards you with an umbrella if it rains then this is for you. Low key and cosy..then probably not! Of course this does come at a price, and not a price all of us can afford! However if you are celebrating a Golden Anniversary or embarking upon a delightfully Dangerous Liason it will undoubtedly be worth the money. Then again, if you pop into their cafe for a coffee and a slice of the delightful Imperial torte, it does work out slightly cheaper...just!
Unique Quality: Imperiously Imperial! A palace that became an hotel. The perfect antidote to baseball cap hell!!

If you visit the Emperor's apartments in the Hofburg and in Schoenbrunn and wish you could have such lodgings, the Imperial is the nearest thing money can buy.
The impressive stairs, the bright chandeliers made with Swarovski crystal (even the ones in bathroom!) will make you feel like royals.
Unique Quality: The Imperial is real luxury in every detail, not only in its furniture, for instance rooms have stereo CD players (Bang & Olufsen) the toiletries in the bathrooms are Bulgari's, and most important of all, the service is superb.
A historical bit: after WWII, when Vienna was divided, the Imperial was in the area controlled by Russians, and the Russian headquarter was in this hotel (if you want to know, the Americans were at the Bristol and the British at the Sacher). Some time ago a VT member from Vienna questioned this piece of information, so I checked my source, but when I was ready to answer ... his email had vanished from my in-box! Anyway, for him and for anybody who wishes to learn more, here is an article with some relevant information: www.famoushotels.org

A safe and clean hostel quite close to the heart of Imperial Vienna. A night in a dorm cost Euro 14. Book ahead. Expect grumpy and unfriendly staffs at the reception counter though.
Very noisy when filled with school groups.
