As part of its multimillion-dollar investment to restore Europe’s most iconic hotels under The Luxury Collection, Starwood Hotels & Resorts recently unveiled the restored public spaces at Hotel Imperial, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Vienna, following a $14 million restoration. Located on the iconic Ringstrasse (Ring Boulevard) within a short walk of attractions like the Vienna State Opera and Secession building, the luxury hotel is celebrating its 140th anniversary this year. The restoration renewed the property’s ground floor, including the landmark lobby, signature restaurant, destination bar and private event venues, with new furnishings and décor.
“Just as with Prince de Galles in Paris and The Gritti Palace in Venice, we are thrilled to reestablish Hotel Imperial as the social center of Vienna following its restoration,” said Paul James, global brand leader, The Luxury Collection, St Regis and W Hotels Worldwide. “Restoring this Viennese icon — one of the brand’s first hotels — marks a momentous occasion for The Luxury Collection, now with over 85 hotels around the world.”
