The Palais Coburg is a wholly special place.
The Palais Coburg sees an exceptional luxury hotel opening its doors, right in the old city centre of Vienna. This 19th century jewel of architecture and art history has been restored with great sensitivity to the historic importance of the building and transformed, with an equal love of detail, into a place to be enjoyed and in which to relax.
The unique ambience and facilities in the hotel, which include an in-house health and beauty facility, the Coburg spa, at roof level, are matched by the individual and personal attention lavished on its guests.
