Pros

Holder of the 'Österreichisches Umweltzeichen für Tourismus' award for ecological practices

Personalized local recommendations updated every 3 months by the hotel's Navigator

Traditional Viennese horse-drawn carriage rides available with guided hotel tours

Private sunbathing lawn adjacent to the indoor pool

Cons

12.5 miles from Vienna International Airport

Limited dining options within immediate vicinity

“The hotel strikes a compelling balance, housed in a renovated 19th-century riding school near Belvedere Palace, complete with modern Autograph Collection updates; I particularly appreciate the Navigator service offering curated local experiences. In my view, its health club and garden offer genuine respite in a busy city, though some opening service kinks seem to remain. Overall, a promising stay.”

The lobby area included facilities to have a drink. The food was excellent. The spa and pool were great and I used them.
The room had no heating and this was a major issue. There were no bathrobes or slippers provided for the bathroom. The reception desk was unreachable and every time I called the front desk, no one answered.
