Frommer's Review
Located directly on the famous Ringstrasse, this glamorous government-rated five-star property is only a short stroll from the Vienna State Opera and Hofburg Palace, and is the first hotel property in Austria for this popular French chain. A $120-million renovation converted an apartment block of turn-of-the-20th-century imperial Viennese architecture into this new city landmark. Luscious maple wood and satin-chrome steel and glass create an aura of understated elegance in public rooms, and special illuminations and lighting effects are used dramatically.
The midsize-to-spacious bedrooms feature designer beds, parquet floors, warm carpeting, and "sink-in" armchairs. Windows were designed to capture the most light, and decorators created drama using pinks and blues accented by earth tones. Each accommodation comes with a luxurious bathroom with tub/shower combination.
Passing through a bar with a DJ, colorful wall elements, room dividers, and special lighting effects, you arrive at the glitzy Shambala Restaurant, where award-winning Parisian chef Michel Rostang created culinary delights when he conceived the menu.
