Delve into the wonderful mysteries of Vienna at the storied Imperial Riding School. Evolving from a 19th century military equestrian school to the city's largest cinema, this historic building has always been a defining part of Vienna's cultural landscape. Now, as a grand 342-bedroom hotel that combines the original majestic facade with a contemporary addition, we invite you to explore the idiosyncratic grandeur of regal Austria. Located in the artistic Landstraße district, the Imperial Riding School is surrounded by architectural fascinations, but stands out for its harmonious blend of aristocratic and bohemian characteristics. Inside, you'll find nods to our regal equestrian heritage, from the stable-inspired floors to the plethora of apple delights, plucked from the orchard that is our tribute to the school's founder, Emperor Franz Joseph I. Whether your visit is for culture or business, here you’ll find the perfect balance of elegance and eccentricity.
"5 minutes walk to Belvedere Palace! The back door is the beautiful Orthodox St. Catherine Church, and it is also very convenient to take a taxi to the old town in 10 minutes~
Opened in 2024, the hotel facilities are very new, there are coffee machines in the room, and paper cups can be taken away. The hotel has a swimming pool and a gym, which is very clean.
We are a family of three, and we booked a twin room when we made the reservation. But during CI, the front desk said that there are 3 of you, and the room you booked can only accommodate 2 people. It violates hotel policy and requires another room. Finally, after negotiation, the room type was upgraded, and the extra bed was 50 euros including breakfast, which is also cost-effective. The sofa in the room can be pulled down to a 1.5m large bed.
The breakfast is delicious, the meat loaf is particularly solid, and there are various smoothies, which are delicious and healthy."
