New splendor in the Anantara Palais Hansen: Vienna's largest suite opens!

After extensive renovation work, the Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel has received a new face and now shines in fresh splendour. This major renovation was completed a year after it was taken over by the Anantara Group, which transformed the former Kempinski Hotel. Following modernization efforts that began in March 2022, the hotel now offers a harmonious blend of contemporary elegance and historic charm.

The listed building, which was designed by Baron Theophil Edvard von Hansen in 1873 for the World Exhibition, is located in the 1st district on Ringboulevard and is one of the most magnificent hotels in the city. With 152 rooms and suites, including the largest presidential suite in Vienna at 270 square meters, it reinforces its claim to luxury. The rooms are classically furnished, with large windows and marble bathrooms, offering guests a stylish ambience.

New gastronomic highlights

The gastronomic scene of the Anantara Palais Hansen is enriched by the newly opened THEO's Lounge & Bar, which opened its doors in December 2024. This lounge has quickly become a hotspot in Vienna and offers a relaxed atmosphere and exquisite signature drinks. Next to the lounge, the Brasserie Sophie, named after Hansen's wife, invites you to a culinary experience. She serves Austrian recipes with innovative accents and offers a Sunday brunch once a month.

The culinary offering is complemented by the star restaurant EDVARD, which offers international cuisine with regional ingredients and a low-waste philosophy. The hotel not only creates spaces for overnight stays, but also for numerous gastronomic experiences that suit the modern traveler.

Relaxation and wellness

The Anantara Palais Hansen focuses on a high level of comfort and stylish design not only in the gastronomy but also in the wellness area. The wellness area includes six treatment rooms, a hydropool, as well as a Finnish sauna and a hammam steam room. There is also a fitness studio, which underlines the exclusivity of the hotel and offers an oasis of relaxation for guests.

Overall, through its renovation and redesign, the Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna has established itself as one of the leading addresses for luxury hotels in Vienna and is aimed at both business travelers and holidaymakers looking for a stylish stay in the Austrian capital. This change is part of the trend that new hotel projects are constantly being built in large cities and existing accommodations are being revitalized to meet the needs of modern travelers. According to Vienna-Trips, many of these new hotels are of a very high standard and offer guests fresh and clean facilities.

For travelers visiting Vienna, the Anantara Palais Hansen remains an excellent option to enjoy both historical flair and modern design.
