Urban Luxury Retreat at Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna

A Symphony of Heritage and Modernity

Vienna's first urban luxury resort

Originally conceived by Baron Theophil Edvard von Hansen for the 1873 World’s Fair, Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna has awakened from its neo-Renaissance splendour into Vienna's first urban luxury resort. Nestled on the Ringstrasse in the historic financial district, and just steps from Vienna’s “Little Paris” in Servitenviertel, this 5-star palace melds Hansen’s ionic columns, stucco ceilings and marble floors with soaring 3.5-meter ceilings and triple-glazed windows. Here, Viennese soul meets cosmopolitan elegance, while Asian-inspired hospitality ensures every stay feels both grand and personal.

Heritage Suites & Sanctuaries

Step into an intimate sanctuary draped in warm neutrals, where oversized windows frame courtyard views and select suites feature private balconies overlooking the tree-lined Ringstrasse. Marble bathrooms are complemented by Acqua di Parma amenities, and the Presidential Suite, Vienna’s largest at 270 m², includes seven French balconies, a salon with a grand piano, a formal dining area, and a window-side marble bath. Upon request, the suite can be expanded to four bedrooms across 408 m², creating the ultimate urban residence.

Culinary Journeys

• Edvard (Michelin-starred): Chef Paul Gamauf’s avant-garde tasting menus evolve with the seasons, showcasing sustainably crafted dishes such as dry-aged duck breast and butter-confited golden trout, each paired with exceptional wines.
• Theo’s Lounge & Bar: During the day, savour Viennese coffee-house classics like apple strudel and house-made cakes in a light-filled courtyard. In the evening, the bar comes alive with high-mixology creations featuring local brandies, seasonal fruits, and creatively repurposed ingredients.
• Brasserie Sophie: Named after Hansen’s wife, this elegant yet relaxed brasserie reimagines Austrian classics such as Wiener schnitzel and tafelspitz through a contemporary, globally inspired lens. Monthly themed brunches with live music add a vibrant touch.

Wellbeing at Anantara Spa

Spread across 800 m², the “East meets West” spa offers six treatment rooms (including a couples’ suite and women-only area), a Finnish sauna, Hammam-style steam bath and vitality hydro-pool. Signature journeys marry Valmont facials, Elemis therapies and intense pulsed-light treatments with muscle-melting massages. Adjacent, the fitness centre is stocked with Technogym equipment, while scenic jogging routes trace the Danube Canal and the Ring.

Discover Vienna on Foot

Stroll from your doorstep to the Hofburg, the State Opera, or the boutiques along Kärntner Strasse. Join an architectural tour inspired by Hansen’s legacy and explore Lobmeyr’s historic glass atelier. In summer, take a Motoscafo ride to a vineyard for a traditional Heurigen picnic. Back at the Palais, master Austrian classics in a Spice Spoons cooking class, perhaps preparing a delightful semolina dumpling soup or Kaiserschmarrn under the guidance of Anantara’s chefs.
