Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Grand Ferdinand, abundant in burgundy leather, parquet flooring and offbeat details like a taxidermy horse, offers gorgeous rooftop vistas. Its 188 rooms range between a grand suite of rich tapestries and a Lobmeyr chandelier to what might be the city’s — if not Europe’s — swankiest dorm rooms with mahogany bunk beds and housekeeping services.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Vienna, Austria.

Lonely Planet review:

“An enormous taxidermied horse stands in the reception area of this ultrahip newcomer, which is shaking up Vienna’s accommodation scene by offering parquet-floored dorms with mahogany bunks alongside richly coloured designer rooms with chaises longues and chandeliered suites with private champagne bars.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

The walls of the Grand Ferdinand Hotel would have some tasty tea to spill is they could talk. One of Vienna’s newest boutique hotels, it a 19th-century palace that was bombed in World War II. The building was then used as an office in the 1950s. Rumor had it though, that it was actually an Austrian Secret Service headquarters. It was then converted into this luxurious hotel. That is quite a rich and interesting history!

The hotel is located along the Ringstrasse in Vienna. This boulevard circles Old Town and is only a few steps away from the rich culture that the museums, coffeehouses and vibrant people have to offer. Johann Strauss memorial and the Vienna State Opera beg for a visit too. Musikverein, Vienna State Opera, Viennese City Park, Karlsplatz and Albertina are also nearby.

The hotel is seven floors tall and is decorated with sophisticated items inspired by the imperial era of Emperor Franz Joseph. Suites on the highest floor have amazing views of the vistas below and even of the giant Ferris wheel. Guests live in style with plush accommodations. Features include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a safe, a minibar, wooden floors and premium bedding. The private bathrooms have an open floor plan for an even more spacious feel.

A very welcome break during exceptionally busy time

Brilliant staff Great position Good food

Small rooms w/o a comfortable chair No lounge area other than small area in bar No alternative to 38 euro b’fast. I could not get a small b’fast so we had to go out to find one, unless we wanted to pay 76 euros at the start of everyday for rolls and coffee!

Great for a night or two.

The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was super clean and the bed was very comfortable! The room was spacious as well. The hotel isn’t too far from the centre (10mins to the St. Stephen’s Cathedral), it was a nice walk.

The rooms were dark, and the bedside lights don’t function unless all other lights are turned on, but at least they were dimmable.

Lovely decor in rooms and fixtures, stylish interiors, friendly staff, classy establishment, poolside infinity pool. Great stuff.

Good, for experience. But overpriced, because not so great service

Great location and great interior design. One the best breakfast ever, but you should pay for that. Great view at the rooftop. Good stuff. But, no a lot of additional perks. You pay more for great location and history, hotel so simple in service

Mainly its location. Its unusual design.

I was fine but will ask for a room in the back rather than facing the street.

This is a beautiful hotel in a nice area. Extremely comfortable and clean.

The staff were excellent. The hotel was beautiful and exceptionally clean. The room was magnificent. Having a small pool on the roof was a nice novelty but it was a little cold. It is situated in a nice area ten minutes walk from the main shopping area.

The breakfast was disappointing. At Euro 30 for an adult and Euro 17.50 for a child I would have expected much more. There was a very limited choice of hot food and there was a lot of food that I would not have considered breakfast foods but everyone is different. I would stay here again but I would not purchase the breakfast. Much too expensive.

Location was excellent

Room was located overlooking the inner courtyard of the hotel where the garbage and recycling pick up occurs. Therefore we were hearing the garbage collection all night. I would choose a different room next time.

Nice hotel, great rooftop bar and downstairs restaurant.

Rooms are spacious and clean. Beds comfortable. Breakfast was amazing and a good variety to choose from. Rooftop bar nice place to have a pre-dinner cocktail. Staff friendly.

Only one desk was open during check-in. At the second desk a trainee was waiting for a staff member to come. I was asked to wait at the second desk. When the staff member came another guest pushed in front and was served. Staff didn't say a word. I found that very disrespectful.

Excellent, the rooftop is an experience! Room on a smaller side but very modern. Splendid overall

- The room was great! very quiet, staff attentive, and everything very modern. - the price point for the location is very reasonable - the rooftop bar and pool - just exceptional, especially at night! my favourite place in Vienna!

- The shower is literally in the room - not separated by the door, and in about a meter from the bed. I didn't mind as I travelled alone, but I imagine it might be an issue for two people. - No tea kettle - I was a bit under the weather with no way to get the hot water (room service closed at night)
