Description:
Called the "guesthouse of the Kaisers," this government-rated four-star hotel lies 2.5km (1 1/2 miles) from the Westbahnhof and 4.8km (3 miles) from the City Air Terminal. Opposite the magical Schönbrunn Castle and its park, the hotel is only a 10-minute tram ride from the Inner City. Franz Joseph I ordered its construction in 1907. The first performances of Loreleyklänge, by Johann Strauss, and Die Schönbrunner, the famous Josef Lanner waltz, took place here. During its heyday, guests ranged from Thomas Edison to Walt Disney. Today the hotel complex is modern and updated. The original part of the building holds public rooms, which have lost some of their past elegance. Contemporary wings and annexes include the Stöckl, Residenz, and Maximilian (which has the most boring and cramped rooms). Also in the complex is a villa formerly inhabited by Van Swieten, the personal doctor of Empress Maria Theresa. Rooms are generally spacious and well furnished, in a variety of styles ranging from classical to modern.
