There’s a vacation, and then there’s a vacation in a palace in Vienna. After all, Vienna’s charm is legendary. So naturally, when luxury hotel brand Almanac transformed two 17th century palace buildings into the ultimate boutique hotel, the Almanac Palais Vienna became one of the top hotels in Vienna. The hotel beautifully combines the opulent decor of Imperial Vienna with the tasteful simplicity of the 21st century. Here’s everything you need to know about the Almanac Palais Vienna.
Location
Almanac Palais Vienna is located on the Ringstrasse — the grand boulevard that encircles the center of Vienna. And while you’ll be located in the heart of the city, it couldn’t be easier to get some peace and quiet. The hotel overlooks Stadtpark, a sprawling green oasis known for being Vienna’s first public park. When you’re ready to explore all of what the historic Austrian capital has to offer, Almanac Palais Hotel provides easy access to the city’s most iconic sights, sitting less than a ten-minute walk from the bustling Stephansplatz.
Accommodation
Almanac Palais Vienna boasts 31 rooms and a whopping 80 suites. There are rooms and suites that accommodate two, three, or four guests. And then there’s the Palais Floor, which can accommodate eight people — an entire floor for you and your whole squad. You can basically think of it as the most luxurious slumber party of all time. And the vibes are immaculate; in a city that royals once called home, you will definitely be living like kings and queens during your stay.
Food & Drink
Eat, drink, and be merry? Check, check, and check. Almanac Palais Vienna houses a restaurant, bar, and coffee shop. Before you head out for sightseeing, stop by Elias Coffee Shop. The bright and airy “Viennoiserie” sells juices, 100% snacks, pastries, and of course, freshly brewed coffee. If you’re more of a sit-down type, grab a table at Donnersmarkt Restaurant. The restaurant utilizes regional ingredients to curate plant-forward, Alpine-inspired menus for breakfast and dinner. And every good night starts and ends with a cocktail, right? Donnersmarkt Bar serves low ABV drinks and light bites with a side of low-lit, cozy ambience.
