New Hotels in Vienna: Imperial Splendor and Innovative Luxury – Near Austria – Blog
recent news of the cessation of activity of the hotel “Das Trieste”, in Vienna, victim like many others of the restrictions at Covid. But, as expected written even then, the closure decided by some accommodation facilities did not reflect the situation of the sector, which on the contrary appears very vital. This year some interesting hotels will be inaugurated or have recently welcomed the first guests. They invite you to experience the city. From hotel luxury atmosphere to structures with a unique: the formulas are exciting and innovative. Today we present three.
Tribute to Emperor Leopold I: The Grand Lion
A small Viennese entrepreneurial group Lenikus has transformed a baroque jewel protected by the Superintendency of Monuments into a luxury hotel with 76 rooms and suites. The Leo Grand wants to be that simpler hotel: thanks to its perfect and perfect location, to the formula of not only brand new standards. Celebrate individualism and contemporary luxury.
Design director Gabriele Lenikus and her team have boldly rethought the Baroque style, transporting it spectacularly into the contemporary world. Perfectly suited to the figure of the eccentric Emperor Leopold I (1640-1705), full of joie de vivre and an art lover, who perceives himself here as a guest and encourages you to go on a journey of exploration in the palace and in the city.
The character of the hotel is also felt in the culinary offer: The Leo Grand hosts what is certainly the most exclusive outdoor seating area in Vienna, an internal courtyard that can also be used in winter, an elegant American bar and various areas for private dinner.
