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.

Great location!

This hotel is located in a fantastic position. It’s basically within walking distance of the principal attractions in the city centre, making it an ideal base for exploring Vienna on foot. The Opera House, Kärntner Straße, and many of the main cultural landmarks are just a few minutes away, which adds real convenience to the stay.

The rooms are nice and clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully designed in a modern style. However, in the standard room there is very little surface space to put your clothes or personal items. There is no desk or table, only the minibar, which does offer very much appreciated complimentary water. The only other surface space is essentially the basin, which in this modern design is located directly in the room. For this reason, having a chair would be very helpful, even just to place clothes or other personal objects. It’s a small detail, but it would make the room significantly more practical without taking away from the design. Overall, the hotel offers a stylish and comfortable stay in an excellent location, with just a minor improvement that could enhance functionality

Very nice hotel to visit the city. Less if you want to sleep long.

the hotel is one of the most historical ones in Vienna and it preserves its charm. It is well locatel (10' walk from the old town and very close to the Stadt park).

Two mornings out of two we got awaken by strong noises in front of the room from both cleaning staff and other customers. Plus very noisy from the clients upstairs (you can clearly hear when the walk since the room as no carpet)

I messaged them a few days before arriving if anything extra could be done to the room for Valentines. The message was completely ignored no response. A courtesy response would have been appreciated.

The location of the hotel is great! Personal is very kind and helpful, rooms are comfortable and clean. There are two restaurant in the hotel, but you have to make the reservation, nonetheless. We were in one on the last floor called Limon and despite the prices, the food was very tasty, so apsolutely worth it!

A perfect stay, beyond expectations. An excellent international breakfast, served on a beautiful terrace on the eighth floor, which makes waking up even more pleasant. However, the real added value is the kindness and professionalism of Lisa and all breakfast staff, who are always available and ready to satisfy every request: a welcome that is rarely found. Original rooms with attention to details. Highly recommended.

I would clearly separate the entrance to the hotel and the restaurant on the ground floor, as the restaurant does not offer the same level of hospitality and quality as the hotel. I will definitely return to the Grand Ferdinand, but I will not return to the restaurant on the ground floor.

Breakfast on rooftop was very nice, good selections. Rooms were modern, clean and cozy. Perfect location.

We had a problem with parking. We paid in the hotel, but then in the garage it wanted us to pay again. Luckily the staff in garage was very helpful and trusted us. I am mentioning it here as the mistr at the reception seemed confused by steps he needs to take and which card to give us.

Comfortable hotel in a great location that fell a bit short for our exceptation of a great guest experience

Great location close to tram stop and walkable to a lot of landmarks. Room compact but comfortable and clean.

No quiet spaces to sit. Downstairs is given over to restaurants and upstairs bar is small and noisy next to another restaurant. Would have liked a kettle to provide hot water for tea drinkers, coffee maker only which doesn’t provide hot enough water for tea.

Fantastic location and comfortable

Amazing location on the ring Strasse making it easy to walk around and also to access the u-bahn and trams. The hotel was lovely with a beautiful lobby and welcoming staff. The room was a good size, well designed with the best shower we have encountered so far on our European trip. The bed was very comfortable, everything was perfect. There's a nice pool on the roof, we didn't use it as it was snowing.

Nothing.

We very much enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back, should we visit Vienna again.

All the staff we came into contact with at the hotel were very friendly, welcoming and professional. They went out of their way to look after us, particularly a Greek waiter at breakfast whose name unfortunately we don’t know. The quality of variety of the food was very good. The outside of the hotel was very attractive having been decorated for Christmas. We found the location excellent in easy walking distance to shops and restaurants.

We didn’t prefer the open bathroom. And we didn’t like the smell of popcorn coming into the reception area.
