Steigenberger Hotel Herrenhof ★★★★★

Meander no more than five minutes from the grand Hofburg palace and you’ll find yourself on the doorstep of the Steigenberger Hotel Herrenhof *****; with the same noble air of all the other statuesque buildings around it, the hotel camouflages beautifully into the fabric of the city. It’s no stretch of the imagination to picture decorated lords and ladies strolling past, perhaps calling these palatial buildings their home. My all-important first impression was that of indisputable classic elegance; something that made the modern twist inside all the more delightful.

The design throughout the hotel, while refreshingly contemporary, still shows off some of Vienna’s charm. Fleurs-de-lis and other baroque touches are subtly incorporated into the interiors in a way that hints at the city’s regal past, while the plum-based palette gives the sensation of sultry decadence and intimacy – in short a fool proof recipe for comfort.

Although, imperial comfort and luxury doesn’t simply begin and end with a fabulous room; venture to the hotel’s Spa World Comfort and allow the sauna to melt away day-to-day stresses. Be sure to take your time - it’s with compliments from VeryChic after all. Yet if massages and saunas don’t whet your appetite, then I can be sure the Steigenberger Hotel Herrenhof *****’s selection of restaurants will! Whether you have the gourmet delights of the Herrlich Restaurant in mind or crave coffee and kaiserschmarn under the glass dome in the Herrenhof Café Bar, the hotel certainly doesn’t leave you short of ways to indulge your taste buds. To stay at the Steigenberger Hotel Herrenhof ***** is to immerse yourself in the finest things life has to offer. If you’re looking to treat yourself – and I know you are – then Vienna is waiting for you!
