The Grand Hotel Wien is famous for being at the very hub of Viennese
social life since the turn of the 20th century. The magnificent spirit of Belle-Époque
is ever-present in the careful blend of the latest technologies and comforts.
The Grand Hotel Wien offers a living reminder of the majestic age of
the Austro-Hungarian Empire, combined with truly luxurious accommodation for
those who are accustomed to the very highest standards in style and taste.
HistoryThe legendary Grand Hotel on Vienna's Ringstrasse, was built in the
1860's according to the plans of Karl Tietz, one of the most celebrated
architects of his time. The architectural style of this period takes its name
from the famous boulevard "Ringstrasse" itself. The era was noted for the charm
and elegance of the "K & K" (Imperial and Royal) Monarchy and by a city dancing
to the music of the Strauss family.
The Grand Hotel Wien is ideally located on Kärntner Ring, only a
stroll away from the Vienna State Opera, the famous Kärntner Straße and the
grandeur of St. Stephen's Cathedral.All major highlights and shopping areas
