As part of a multimillion-dollar program to restore some of Europe’s most iconic hotels within The Luxury Collection, Starwood Hotels & Resorts has revealed the newly restored public spaces at Hotel Imperial, a Luxury Collection Hotel in Vienna, following a $14 million renovation. Situated on the historic Ringstrasse and within easy walking distance of landmarks such as the Vienna State Opera and the Secession building, the hotel marks its 140th anniversary this year. The restoration focused on the ground floor, updating the landmark lobby, the signature restaurant, the destination bar and private event rooms with refreshed furnishings and refined décor.
“Like our projects at the Prince de Galles in Paris and The Gritti Palace in Venice, we are delighted to restore Hotel Imperial as a social hub for Vienna,” said Paul James, global brand leader for The Luxury Collection, St. Regis and W Hotels Worldwide. “Revitalizing this Viennese icon — one of the brand’s earliest hotels — is a significant moment for The Luxury Collection, which now includes more than 85 hotels worldwide.”
