Grand Ferdinand Hotel, Vienna

Schubertring 10-12, 1010 Wien, Austria (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Grand Ferdinand, abundant in burgundy leather, parquet flooring and offbeat details like a taxidermy horse, offers gorgeous rooftop vistas. Its 188 rooms range between a grand suite of rich tapestries and a Lobmeyr chandelier to what might be the city’s — if not Europe’s — swankiest dorm rooms with mahogany bunk beds and housekeeping services.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Vienna, Austria.

Lonely Planet review:

“An enormous taxidermied horse stands in the reception area of this ultrahip newcomer, which is shaking up Vienna’s accommodation scene by offering parquet-floored dorms with mahogany bunks alongside richly coloured designer rooms with chaises longues and chandeliered suites with private champagne bars.”

What guests liked

All you need to know

The walls of the Grand Ferdinand Hotel would have some tasty tea to spill is they could talk. One of Vienna’s newest boutique hotels, it a 19th-century palace that was bombed in World War II. The building was then used as an office in the 1950s. Rumor had it though, that it was actually an Austrian Secret Service headquarters. It was then converted into this luxurious hotel. That is quite a rich and interesting history!

The hotel is located along the Ringstrasse in Vienna. This boulevard circles Old Town and is only a few steps away from the rich culture that the museums, coffeehouses and vibrant people have to offer. Johann Strauss memorial and the Vienna State Opera beg for a visit too. Musikverein, Vienna State Opera, Viennese City Park, Karlsplatz and Albertina are also nearby.

The hotel is seven floors tall and is decorated with sophisticated items inspired by the imperial era of Emperor Franz Joseph. Suites on the highest floor have amazing views of the vistas below and even of the giant Ferris wheel. Guests live in style with plush accommodations. Features include air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a safe, a minibar, wooden floors and premium bedding. The private bathrooms have an open floor plan for an even more spacious feel.

This was our first visit to Vienna as a family and Grand Ferdinand Vienna was the perfect location. All the key sites ar

Great central location, modern and comfortable hotel with great roof top bar and restaurant. All the locations of museums, opera house, galleries and restaurants were short walk or metro ride away. Very convenient indeed. Staff all very helpful and obliging.

Great spot. Friendly and helpful reception staff. Clean and comfortable rooms. Would recommend.

Great location. Helpful & friendly reception staff. A couple of dining options and bar with great view.

A small gripe, but we had to ask for milk on 2 days straight - can’t see why housekeeping can’t get that right. Replenish the mini bar stocks. Just a nuisance. We had to wait ages for a glass of wine at the upstairs bar. It shouldn’t take over 10 minutes to receive a glass of wine. I felt sorry for the bartender as he was getting the drinks & table waiting. That never works… there was plenty of staff around. Just not allocated to helping him. Consequently we didn’t go there again, opting for an alternative venue.

Great location, well presented. Possibly a bit stingy with the rooms themselves - not luxurious.

Gorgeous hotel, friendly staff, great restaurant and bar, beautiful rooftop.

Facilities in the room very basic - no kettle or any space to keep clothes/bags for example. I paid extra for a room with a view and the ‘view’ was just the back of the hotel and surrounding buildings, absolutely wouldn’t have paid extra if I’d known. Also we had to make our own bed and had two single mattresses for our double bed, which felt more like a hostel.

Wonderful place, just like the photos, perfectly located.

What a property, rooms were exactly as per the photos (although a little more worn). The location was simply excellent. Couldn’t have been more perfect with access to everything. The aircon was great. The beds were comfortable and we loved having two separate duvets. It would have been nice to have had the tea and coffee replenished without having to ask. The staff at the pool bar couldn’t have been more helpful, nicer or more friendly. Always with a smile they were lovely. The pool seating area was small but functional (as in the photos) and offered amazing views as well as the perfectly cooling dip in the water. It was a shame however that they didn’t serve the full snack menu whilst we were there. The restaurant downstairs was great, delicious food, good service and reasonably priced. The only reason we gave a 4star for staff was because of one woman on the reception. She was simply rude and couldn’t have been less interested in guests making it quite uncomfortable. Luckily she was only there one day of our stay. We will definitely be back and recommend the hotel.

We felt that the rooms could have been swept / cleaned better daily. Just bits on the floor and in the fridge from past guests. The one lady at reception couldn’t do with some service training from her peers.

Very good

We were therw for one night while travelling. We enjoyed the reception, the room is small but comfortable.We actually liked the shower and sink in the room, have seen it in multiple hotels and it feels different (which a hotel should be when compared to one's home). Parking we found on the street free of charge (weekend). The location is brilliant, a stone's throw away from everything important, but still quiet and elegant. The rooftop pool is a nice touch and a great view. There were no bathrobes in the room, but reception sent some over immediately so that was appreciated.

Some points to improve customer experience: 1.The bathrobes and slippers were rather small. I am 170 cm and the robe was just a tad short on the sleeves, my husband is 185 and he looked like someone had shrunk his in the dryer. No a big issue, but it would be a nice touch to either go bigger on the sizes as a general rule or do his & hers robe and slippers. 2. Opening the bathroom door was like playing russian roulette. It's set so stiffly that it almost clamped our fingers each and every time. 3. Maybe consider offering a pad of paper and a pen, maybe mints or chocolates on the pillow, a feedback form, some welcome message in the room - small gestures go a long way.

New designed rooms. Well maintained and clean. Location is bang on city center. Roof top restaurant is nice for breakfast and also for dinner. On same floor they have open swimming pool . Small but good just to kool off yourself during hot summer.

Classic hotel in the best location

Location is everything. Near Michael’s gate, it is located on a pedestrian road so no traffic noise. The building dates from the 12th century but is quite modern. The room and bath are well appointed. The breakfast was exceptional: wide variety of quality food, cloth tablecloths, and very attentive staff.
