Where History Meets the Present – The New Chapter of Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna
A touch of the Orient in the heart of Vienna, surrounded by imperial architecture and the soft rhythm of the Ringstraße: Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna invites guests on a journey through time, culture, and style – all in a completely renewed form.
After extensive renovations, this historic building has been transformed into an urban luxury retreat. Within the historic walls, a new elegance emerges – subtle rather than loud, with quiet luxury, thoughtful design, and a sense for the exceptional.
A Palace for Modern Nomads
In the 152 rooms and suites, neoclassical details meet contemporary comfort. The crown jewel? The Presidential Suite – larger than many classic Viennese apartments, complete with its own bar and grand piano. It’s not just a place to sleep, but a place to stay.
Cuisine with Character
At Anantara, indulgence is treated as an art form. The new Brasserie Sophie doesn’t reinvent Austrian cuisine but lovingly reinterprets it. Here, traditional Viennese charm meets international sophistication. For those who prefer their pleasures in liquid form, THEO’s Lounge & Bar offers a special kind of living room – blending the spirit of Viennese coffeehouses with creative cocktails.
And then there is EDVARD, the Michelin-starred restaurant, where chef Paul Gamauf combines a sustainable philosophy with fine craftsmanship. It’s not a place for grand gestures – but for bold flavors.
A Spa from 1001 Nights
The new Anantara Spa is a sanctuary for all the senses. Between a hammam steam bath, Finnish sauna, and Asian-inspired treatments, time and tension dissolve. Particularly noteworthy: the exclusive treatments using products by Swiss brand Valmont – available in Vienna only here.
Past with Vision
Originally built for the 1873 World’s Fair, Palais Hansen has many stories to tell. Now, a new chapter begins – one that honors tradition without copying it. A chapter that rewrites the art of hospitality. And one that proves that true luxury isn’t about gold – it’s about feeling.
