ROSEWOOD VIENNA OPENS

Inspired by the city’s imperial history, the opening marks the ultra-luxury brand’s fifth European property

 

Set to open this summer 2022, Rosewood Vienna marks Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ first flag in Austria, and the first international luxury hotel brand to open in Vienna for ten years. Centrally located in the first district on Petersplatz, one of the most famous squares in Vienna’s Old Town, the iconic hotel is situated just steps away from the city’s best shopping, restaurants, and most important cultural and historical sites, including St. Stephans Cathedral and Hofburg Imperial Palace. Rosewood Vienna occupies a beautifully restored 19th-century historic building, former headquarters for Erste Group Bank AG, where the finest European architecture and design meets refined style, ultra-luxury amenities, and contemporary luxury accommodations. The opening marks Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ fifth European property.

 

Set in the heart of one of Europe’s most historic cities, Rosewood Vienna is designed in collaboration between A2K Architects, BEHF Architects and the internationally renowned interior designer Alexander Waterworth. The original building, designed and constructed in 1838 by architect Alois Pichl, is a distinguished Viennese icon. The hotel represents a timeless yet modern design that marries historic charm and European Belle Époque architecture with contemporary interiors and timeless sophistication. In keeping with Rosewood Hotels & Resorts' A Sense of Place® philosophy, guests at Rosewood Vienna are immersed in the grace, elegance and imperial flair that has been the hallmark of Vienna for centuries.

 

Featuring 72 guest rooms and 27 suites, the hotel’s luxurious accommodations are spread across five floors, each designed with a thoughtful combination of lush textures, artistic touches, and the latest technological conveniences. Considered the crown jewel of Rosewood Vienna, the property’s 1,800 sq-ft Presidential Suite, Hoffmann House, offers the ultimate in luxury and privacy. Accessible via a VIP entrance, the Presidential Suite is the largest in Vienna, and the only suite to be recognised by a separate address. It features unparalleled views of the city, a master bedroom, a separate living room, kitchen, entertainment area, and eight-person dining room. Each room has its own individual character, yet they are all united by a harmonious, neutral colour palette accented by subtle colour contrasts, reflecting the property’s style of mixing the old and the new. Every detail has been meticulously selected to create an optimal experience for entertainment and relaxation. Using a skillful interplay of different materials such as marble, wood, brass fixtures and patterned fabrics, the design nods to the imperial glamour of Vienna’s past while speaking to the tastes of today’s affluent explorer.
