About this hotel
General information
Grand Hotel Wien opened in 1870, designed by the architect Carl Tietz as a showpiece of the Ringstrasse style — the imperial grandeur with which Vienna was then lining its new boulevard. Its guests have ranged from Enrico Caruso and Johannes Brahms to Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo, Kofi Annan and the Dalai Lama, as well as U2 and the Spice Girls.
Classic interiors are paired with thoroughly modern technology. Dining is a particular strength: the panoramic Le Ciel, the Japanese Unkai, the Grand Café with its own Guglhupf cake, and a lobby bar with live piano. Five conference rooms and a ballroom host events, backed by a business centre, while the Grand Spa, a hair salon, limousine service, parking, laundry and dry cleaning cover everyday needs. Weddings and honeymoon programmes can be arranged.
