150 Years of Hotel Imperial, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Vienna

Originally built as a private residence of Duke Philipp of Württemberg, the Palais on Vienna’s Ring Boulevard was transformed into the Hotel Imperial for the Vienna World’s Fair and was ceremoniously opened on April 28, 1873. This year marks the 150th anniversary of our hotel, and with it the exceptional opportunity to experience a truly Viennese institution.
