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.

Very good

Very good location! Lots I’d great bars and restaurants around. The hotel has a very cool rooftop bar. The room was very tastefully done.

The shower was kind of in the middle of the room. There was mildew in the shower and didn’t smell very good. Also the room was very warm even the thermostat set to cool.

Very pleasant stay

Great location. Nice deco and good restaurants and bar on site. Most of the staffs were very helpful.

My 2nd time stay. The first time, I remember that room was spacious and very modern. This time the room was tiny. We could hardly be able to move with two people in room.

Location exceptional, and reception are very helpful , a good place to stay.

Great location , comfortable, nicely decorated.

We decided to pay as you go with breakfast unfortunately they have. Fixed price of 38 Euros per person and there is no option of just having coffee and toast. Also no room service. Also you have a TV in your room but only news channel for Uk and you could change the language setting.

Warm welcome

The staff was very kind, and check-in and check-out were quick. When a light bulb burned out, we got a new one in a few minutes. The beds were comfortable, and the location was also perfect.

Maybe the showers shouldn't be directly opposite the bed.

The bathroom in the middle of the room and no sink by the toilet. The pancakes at the breakfast should only be optional if it’s fresh from kitchen not reheated.

Great value for money, amazing location, very happy overall.

Great hotel, location is perfect, really close to all sights (15-20min walk from most things). The rooftop terrace is amazing in the morning. The staff were very kind and helpful.

The lights in the room kept flickering.

Very enjoyable. Staff were most helpful and the food in the hotel is excellent.

The food was excellent.

The air conditioning system was not adequate. I can nit sleep in a warm room, so had to open the window whuch meant there was a lot of noise from the traffic (whuch us to be expected given the location). It would also have been good to have the mini bar restocked.

Cozy hotel where industrial style meets with the romantic one.

Room was rather tiny but comfortable and cozy. Location was exceptional just next to City Park, Downtown and all what you want to see in Vienna. Breakfast was on top of the night rate but worth the money. Great service, food beyond delicious. We loved the pool on the rooftop and the fact that pets are allowed almost everywhere but the 8th floor (which was fine)

The water in the pool could be a bit warmer. But we enjoyed it anyway :-)

Excellent location, all amenities available and gorgeous room

Wonderful location, with modern rooms but an old-world charm. Lovely bar area open till late for a night cap, and restaurants on the doorstep. Short walk to the main shopping area and museums.

Nothing - we had a lovely stay.

Great location, average hotel

The location of the hotel is perfect, close to museums, opera, Musikverein and citycentre. Everything easy walkable.

The wifi is very bad, but even worse is that they know it. If you complain it is easily solved. For a deposit they provide a booster. But they don't care as long as you don't complain which is very annoying. The first night I spend several hours fighting bad connection which had a great impact upon my enjoyment of my stay. Not a **** experience. Breakfast is adequate, but for the price and the standing of the hotel it's not special, not more than what should be expected. The room had one tea bag. I didn't feel like going to reception to beg for teabags so I just went to the supermarket and bought me some tea. No problem but also not a **** experience.

We had a wonderful time celebrating my daughter's 18th, Vienna is magic and the hotel reflected that

Breakfast was excellent, location could not have been better, staff were lovely, we loved the roof top pool and cocktails overlooking the city

Our rooms were tidied, but coffee was not replenished and rubbish was not taken away

Better than expected and especially the location is worth every penny

Nice location, fine interior and sublime Italian dinner restaurant in 8th floor. Definately worth a visit.

Stay clear of the restaurant on ground floor tho, its busy, loud and stressfull - and the food is mediocre at best.

Design of room with separate facilities. The roof terrace although couldn’t eat there as was booked every night. Location was great. The staff were friendly.

We found it difficult to find quality dining in the location without quite a walk. The terrace was booked out and we didn’t car for what was on offer in the other establishment. They also weren’t that friendly

Pleasant weekend stay

The location is great, close to the city center but not in a noisy area. It has a nice rooftop and the best Wiener Schnitzel restaurant in it. The room is comfortable and big, perfect for a weekend stay!

Everything was very good, I would just suggest to add a closet or shelves where to store clothes because there is no wardrobe and still space in the room to add furniture.

Great location, stylish hotel

Lovely comfortable room, bed was amazing with big fluffy duvet and good air conditioning. Great lighting over bathroom sink area, with good magnifying mirror and light. The whole hotel was extremely stylish and cool.

The pool was very small and always crowded. Also, no tea or coffee making facilities in the room which was a big disappointment for someone who needs an early morning caffeine kickstart.

Wow Vienna Break

This place is amazing for touring on foot around Vienna City Centre, visiting Opera (StadtsOper), amazing breakfast on the rooftop, the memories for eternity. Breakfast variety is great, you can find for even your specific dietary requests. Rooms are pleasantly modern, tastefully decorated, with the cute old-style features.
