Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel

The Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel delivers a truly luxurious experience from the moment you arrive. The lobby and bar area are absolutely beautiful — elegant yet inviting — and the overall ambiance reflects classic Viennese sophistication with a modern touch. The breakfast was excellent, offering a generous and varied selection of both local and international dishes. (A small suggestion: adding potato vodka to the bar menu would be a welcome touch for guests who appreciate regional gluten-free spirits.) Our suite was spacious, beautifully appointed, and full of light, with soaring ceilings that added to the grandeur. Every detail felt carefully considered — from the plush towels and luxury bath products to the Dyson hairdryer and styling tools, which were a thoughtful surprise and very convenient. Throughout our stay, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, contributing to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that made our visit so enjoyable. This is an outstanding hotel in every respect — combining classic elegance, modern comfort, and attentive service in one of Vienna’s most distinguished settings.

Stayed at the Anantara Palais hotel on our first trip to Vienna. The hotel entrance and ground floor is really lovely. Our room was very nice with a view of the buildings on the side street, we also had two small terraces. The location of the hotel was excellent, centrally located with some of the sites walkable. Also easy access for a taxi or Uber. Staff was very nice. Overall it was an excellent experience.

I had a wonderful experience at the bar in the Anantara Hotel Vienna! The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed, and the drinks and food were great. A special thanks to Ray, the bartender — she was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made me feel truly welcome. Her positive energy and professionalism made the day even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Wow what a beautiful stay we had at the Anantara Palais Vienna. The hotel is absolutely beautiful. We spent three nights and when we checked in we found out that we had been upgraded to a junior suite. The suite was very nice and spacious. The hotel is very well located which meant that we could walk to most tourist attractions. The breakfast was amazing, they had an egg stations and the buffet featuring pastries, fruits, cheeses and some hot dishes and you could also order from a complimentary a la carte menu. All the staff we interacted with were amazing.|The SPA facilities at this hotel is absolutely brilliant||A special thanks to Micaiah and Valentin for sorting my reservations out.||I cannot wait to come back..

Our stay was extraordinary. The hotel is beautiful, rooms are spacious and well decorated. Loved the Art Deco style. Breakfast is delicious, service is impeccable, spa and overall cleanliness are top notch. ||There is so much attention to detail at Palais Hansen and we really felt welcome. Would love to return.

Wonderful stay at the newly renovated Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna. The hotel feels fresh and modern, while still keeping the charm of the historic building. We stayed in a Deluxe room with a courtyard view, which was very quiet—so peaceful that we could sleep with the window open, something that’s rare in a city hotel! The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The bed was super cozy and big. The breakfast was excellent, with both a buffet and à la carte options. There was a great selection of fresh food, and everything we tried was delicious. The staff were friendly and professional, always making sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a relaxing and luxurious stay in the heart of Vienna. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others looking for a quiet, high-quality place to stay.

An Exceptional Stay at The Anantara Vienna From the moment we arrived at The Anantara Vienna, we were treated with such warmth and professionalism that it truly set the tone for a memorable stay. Every member of the staff we encountered—from reception to concierge to housekeeping—was not only courteous but genuinely attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we felt welcome and well cared for. A special mention must go to the team at breakfast. We’d especially like to express our heartfelt thanks to Karim, Lindsey, Jen, Angelika, and Dom—each of them brought something unique and memorable to our experience. The service each morning was nothing short of outstanding. The staff were incredibly attentive without being intrusive, remembering our preferences and always greeting us with a smile. The selection and quality of food was excellent, but it was the gracious and seamless service that truly made each morning feel like a luxury experience. The hotel itself is beautifully appointed, blending elegance with comfort in a way that makes it easy to relax. It is in a great location but what truly sets The Anantara Vienna apart is the people. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special—we look forward to returning and highly recommend.

We loved our stay at Anantara! It is within walking distance of everything in the ringstrasse. The Hotel is beautiful, and the staff goes above and beyond to meet all the needs of their guests. We loved the breakfast buffet and the food in Theo's was delicious! Our room was perfect and a very relaxing stay. We hope to return soon!

Just got back from Vienna and stayed here 3 nights. It's now called Anantara Palais. It's a beautiful spacious hotel-big luxurious rooms,amazing bathrooms and the staff is super courteous and helpful. The breakfast and bar are amazing too. I loved my stay and would stay here again.

We stayed here for 4 nights in late November. The room was huge with a few of a courtyard? I felt this was more of a corporate travel hotel than a vacation hotel. Service in the main lounge was spotty. Breakfast was perfect to start the day. But other than that. I'd look for a more friendly traveler hotel.

Excellent service - great location. Walked pretty much everywhere from our hotel. Missed the Michelin star restaurant but drinks in the lobby was nice. Some late night snacks were good, as well. Concierge was always helpful as well as bellman.

THE best hotel in Wien, bar none. We saw the other ones and we settled on Palais Hansen Kempinski for a 5 night glorious stay. We had an Amex Platinum upgrade to a larger deluxe room, whisper quiet - high ceilings, comfy beds, lovely bathroom with Ferragamo toiletries, splendid, large walk in shower, and the service - unparalleled. The concierge, Thomas (Clef d'Or), will assist with anything and he will do it with a smile. Overall, the staff manages to balance their Viennese charm with precision and hyperefficiency. The hotel is also located in a calmer area, away from the worst tourist noise. The breakfast buffet is sumptuous, as is Edvard, the Michelin starred restaurant where we had our goodbye dinner. We would never stay anywhere else in Wien. A total Wienner!!!

My husband, daughter, and I stayed 3 nights at the Vienna Kempinski this past week and had a fantastic time. -- Everyone is super friendly. -- Rooms aren't enormous but are well appointed and spotless. -- Breakfast buffet was included in our rate (thank you American Express) and it was definitely one of the best I've ever had. I ate so much at breakfast every day that I didn't eat until dinner. Love that it was open until 2pm on weekends. -- The hotel let us check in early (10 am). -- Hotel lobby is a nice place to lounge. -- Internet was included in our American Express package. -- Pool was small but stunning. -- Gym was great. -- Location is convenient. Can't wait to visit Vienna again so I can stay at this lovely hotel.

Very trendy place. Front door staff very good but on my check out the gentleman was pushy about me taking a taxi to the airport and told him I had no Euros I had American money he said no problem. Not only a problem but charged twice the amount than Uber Room is clean but this ordeal left a bad experience I wouldn't return

I booked a manicure while staying at the Kempinski. It cost $100 CAN -65€. I have had better manicures for a third of the price. The spa itself was clean and the staff friendly. My manicurist struggled with applying the polish and getting clean edges around the cuticle area. She was very young and seemed nervous so I did not want to say anything, but I feel a spa of this caliber should make sure there aestheticians are competent and well trained. The room was too hot and there was no background music - which some people may prefer, but there was a stereo so I wonder why there was no 'spa like music' playing? After I left I noticed that several nails weren't even fully painted and everything chipped within 24 hours. I have had A LOT of manicures so I know a good one from a bad one. I would have left satisfied had the 'spa' experience felt special and worth the money but it did not. I can't speak to their other services but if you want a good manicure don't go here. Do some research (as I should have) and find a spot in the city that does a quality job for less. This review is for the spa only. The hotel is fantastic.

Excellent Hotel. True 5 stars. Don't think just book This time the Yelp reviews are spot on. This hotel is truly excellent! I travel 100 days a year or more and this is one of the best hotels I have stayed in in a while. Most don't live up to the reviews and this place exceeds them. I had a suite and I could just live in it. Quiet with an excellent staff and great breakfast what else can you ask for and i am tough on hotel reviews. Book with confidence

Aah Kempinsky! You luxury five star hotel! The staff here are great and very welcoming from start to finish. It's exactly the way it should be. As a GHA Platinum member I was bumped up to deluxe room which was good. The room was suitable for such a hotel - clean, spacious, well equipped. The real gem of this hotel though is the food. Edvards (in which I dined) boasts a Michelin star and so well it may! The food was delicious, but it's not for the cash conscious traveller - a meal with a couple of drinks sets you back around 250 euro. The breakfast buffet is also nice!

I can only echo the other superlative reviews of this exceptional hotel. The entire staff could not have been more accommodating, friendly and professional, from the exceptional "ladies in red", to Roman, the head of the food service team. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary. There were rose petals on our bed (in the shape of a heart) and an indescribably delicious chocolate mousse cake with red frosting in our suite when we arrived. The hotel upgraded us to a sumptuous suite (thank you American Express!), which was glorious. Again, thanks to Amex, breakfast was included and it was a feast, which we looked forward to every morning. We are well-traveled. Our takeaway was that this hotel might well be one of the best hotels in the world. Staying there was a memorable experience.

This is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. The staff is friendly, warm, and welcoming, and our room is gorgeous. We mentioned we were here on our honeymoon, and they welcomed us with champagne when we arrived as well as with a bottle of champagne (and chocolates!) in our room. Wonderful amenities in the room, gorgeous pool and spa, central location in Vienna, and a super comfortable bed. The shower is amazing and modern with automated switches on the wall, and the hotel has a fantastic view of the city. Couldn't ask for more.

SUPER hotel, exactly as expected from Kempinski. Stayed in the Ring Suite; dog friendly, absolutely perfect service and accommodations. The spa is also very nice, the staff go out of their way to make your stay superb. The suite was extraordinary. iPad access for television, room service, lights, etc. Great concierge service, helped me to book a Danube river liner tour and was ever so helpful. Also got my dog extra chews :) Wherever I travel in the world, if I can stay at Kempinski I know it will just be without compare.

Equisite hotel truly five star service & amenities The hotel is focused on flawless service and elegant ambience. The hotel caters to the discerning client and yet treats each guest as if she or he is important. We tend to dress extremely casually when we travel and yet this hotel treated us as well as if we were chiquely dressed. This is important to us and brings us back to a place. The spa is lovely and my husband used the sauna and other facilities daily. They are technologically advanced; whereby one does not need to place a card outside the door indicating "do not disturb" or "please clean the room" but by the press of a button inside the room, it is indicated outside the room. They deliver water each night with the night service. The service was excellent and the staff was fantastic, friendly, and helpful. It is also wonderful that they are dog-friendly, it made my husband and I smile to see the dogs on occasion in the lobby. (We love this about Europe, the forward thinking attitude toward canine companions.) All-in-all a great hotel, one we will definitely return to. The only area that could be improved upon is that the breakfast buffet is not vegan friendly and expensive. However, Vienna is an amazing city that has incredible vegan food and a wonderful restuarant just around the corner from the hotel, Yamm, was a place we visited daily.

If any hotel could be described as perfect this one fits the bill. Refined, elegant surroundings with an attentive staff eager to please. Beautiful rooms with incredible high tech showers. Dining is marvelous from breakfast to a Michelin dinner at Edwards.
