Imperial Coffee

Not at home but not outdoors either, that is how visiting a Viennese coffee house is described. At the Café Imperial many a masterpiece was penned by the one or other famous author. Here, every guest is a special one, be it poet, salesman or politician.

In his Imperial Suite, Richard Wagner pondered over his compositions for weeks - supplied with a lot of black coffee (in Vienna called Mokka). Arthur Schnitzler and Gerhart Hauptmann enjoyed passing by Café Imperial for a Viennese Melange (light espresso with steamed hot milk), while rumor has it that Thomas Mann and Stefan Zweig loved to savor an exquisite Einspänner (black coffee and whipped cream) together. Did Karl Kraus's observations become even clearer over a Pharisäer (black coffee, sugar, rum and whipped cream)? And was Rainer Maria Rilke eaten up by desire for Eleonore Duse over a mild Verlängerter (espresso diluted with hot water)? And also he enjoyed his cup of coffee at the Imperial: Sir Peter Ustinov.

Tradition lives on here. And, as the delicate aroma of coffee reveals, it is also cultivated here. Both Viennese and international clients meet at the Café Imperial to have coffee, lunch, or dinner - because it is always a highlight to be a guest here.

The essence of the Viennese coffeehouse tradition can be experienced with Imperial Coffee Melange. Arabica beans from the sun-drenched highlands of Latin America are masterfully roasted to create an aroma full of temperament, at once mild and full-bodied. Savored to the accompaniment of Imperial Torte you share in a heritage lovingly cultivated.

Imperial Coffee Melange and Imperial Torte are available at the Hotel Imperial Boutique. From there, most exquisite Imperial Torte confectionary and mouth-watering hand-made unique delicacies set out on a journey all over the world.
