Reviews of Grand Hotel Wien, Vienna, Austria

Review of Ana Grand, by Jamie Dunford Wood

This predominantly business hotel does one thing very well - it is a place in which you feel immediately at home. Grand Hotel Wien is cool, comfortable and supremely elegant.

Grand Hotel Wien is ideally located on Kärntner Ring, only a stroll away from the Vienna State Opera, the famous Kärntner Straße and the grandeur of St. Stephen's Cathedral.

It offers a Japanese specialty restaurant called Unkai which has been awarded by Gault Millau. Another award-winning gourmet restaurant called Le Ciel is also located on the seventh floor, and serves a combination of Viennese and French cuisine over the rooftops of Vienna. Visit The Grand Café on the first floor, a restaurant designed like a Viennese coffee shop. Additionally, the hotel features a lobby bar, five conference rooms and a spectacular ballroom.

The 205 rooms and suites at Grand Hotel Wien come in either green or rose, and each one has a comforting uniformity of shape and size. They are spacious with little private entrance passageways. Enjoy toying with the gizmos like shutter and TV control from the telephone. The bathrooms have beige and brown marbles with two sinks. For the most privacy and best views, choose a high floor.
