Our Inspector's Highlights

The Vienna hotel's The Ritz-Carlton Symphony Suite is a masterpiece. A blend of classical and modern, the more than 1,000-square-foot suite was made in cooperation with Wiener Symphoniker, the esteemed orchestra, to pay homage to the city's musical legacy.
The historic 19th-century architecture throughout the former palais (technically it’s four heritage-protected palaces that have been connected) will leave you in awe. Original woodcarvings and frescoes from Austrian artist Rudolf Hermann Eisenmenger found on the fourth-floor lounge area are particularly striking.
The steakhouse is a must-visit, and the eighth-floor Atmosphere Rooftop Bar serves cocktails, DJ sets and stunning skyline vistas in the summer.
The large spa area — offering a 59-foot-long swimming pool with underwater music and full gym facilities — cannot be missed. Indulge in the Susanne Kaufmann treatments, which are inspired by ingredients from Western Austria's Bregenz Forest.
Families and business travelers will especially enjoy the exclusive Club Lounge as a living room area on the seventh floor. It comes with a children's play area and serves local wines.

Things to Know
