Description:
From the outside, this six-story landmark, a Westin hotel, looks no different from Vienna's other grand buildings; but connoisseurs of Austrian hotels maintain that this is a superb choice. Its decor evokes the height of the Habsburg Empire -- only the Hotel Imperial is grander. The hotel was constructed in 1894 next to the Vienna State Opera and has been updated to provide guests with black-tile bathrooms and other modern conveniences. Each bedroom includes a living-room area, and many have a small balcony providing a rooftop view of the Vienna State Opera and Ringstrasse.
Many of the hotel's architectural embellishments rank as objets d'art in their own right, including the black carved-marble fireplaces and the oil paintings in the salons. The Bristol Club Rooms in the tower offer comfortable chairs, an open fireplace, a self-service bar, library, stereo, deck, and sauna. Corkscrew columns of rare marble grace the Korso, Bristol's restaurant, which is one of the best in Vienna.
