Radisson/SAS Palais Hotel Vienna

Frommer's Review

This hotel is one of Vienna's grandest renovations. An unused neoclassical palace was converted into a hotel in 1985 by SAS, the Scandinavian airline; in 1994, another palace next door was added, allowing the hotel to double in size. Near Vienna's most elaborate park (the Stadtpark), the hotel boasts facades accented with cast-iron railings, reclining nymphs, and elaborate cornices. The interior is plushly outfitted with 19th-century architectural motifs, all impeccably restored and dramatically illuminated. The lobby contains arching palms, a soaring ceiling, and a bar with evening piano music. The result is an uncluttered, conservative, and well-maintained hotel that is managed in a breezy, highly efficient manner. Bedrooms are outfitted in either soothing pastels or, in the new wing, in summery shades of green and white. The hotel also offers several duplex suites, or maisonettes; conventional suites; and rooms in the Royal Club, which has upgraded luxuries and services.
