Hotel Kaiserhof Vienna
In the heart of historic Vienna, but ahead of its time.
The classic attractions along the Ringstrasse are not far. Whether the Secession, the Opera or the Karlskirche church, all can be reached within a few steps. If you don’t become a passionate stroller whilst here, then you never will! This hotel, family-run for many generations, gladly assists its guests in the discovery of old Austria. With dedication to detail, warmth and charming service.
Ahead of its Time
When the Kaiserhof was erected on the grounds of Vienna’s glacis in 1896, it was considered one of the most state-of-the-art hotels of its time. Novelties such as an Elevator, central heating, electricity and running water in all rooms were regarded as luxurious sensations at the time.
Archduchess Marie Thèrese, a close friend of the constructor, lobbied her brother-in-law Emperor Franz Joseph I to grant permission to name the hotel “KAISERHOF” (Imperial Court). In the year 1913, the Kaiserhof was recommended by “Baedeker Austria-Hungary”, one of the first travel guides.

Earth Friendly
For years Kaiserhof WIEN has been taking part in the careful use of resources, waste reduction and recycling. For example, a water-reducing-system was installed, as well as sensors attached to the windows: as they are opened, the air-conditioning or the heating interrupt automatically. Energy-saving lamps and motion sensors are used throughout the hotel wherever appropriate.
They work with selected regional and local producers, which are responsive to our requested needs and guarantee the highest quality and freshness. They source their food and supplies from local vendors, so the delivery path can be kept as short as possible and save CO2 emissions.
