If Palais Coburg did not host state guests or bilateral talks between politicians from all over the world, it would not be so well known to the general public. With prices starting at 695 to 2,695 euros per suite, including a bottle of well-chilled champagne on arrival, breakfast and minibar, the 5-star superior hotel is reserved for the rich and beautiful.

The offers range from the elegant Coburg and Bastei Suites to the City and Residence Suites and the extravagant Palais Suites. The sizes vary from 54 to 165 square metres, whereby all rooms offer maximum comfort and a supremely private atmosphere as well as a lively reference to the history of the house. In the spirit of authenticity, the suites are named after members of the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family. Beyond the extraordinary ambience, Palais Coburg offers all the amenities that the guest of the utmost luxury class demands. Since 2016, Palais Coburg has been a member of the renowned association "The Leading Hotels of the World".
EXPERIENCE THE EXCITING HISTORY OF THE "HOUSE OF KINGS"
Once the family property of the princely family of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha-Kohary, Palais Coburg is today probably the most extraordinary 5-star hotel in the Austrian capital. It was built by Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha between 1840 and 1845 in the classicist style on the former Braunbastei, the foundations of which include fortifications from the 16th century. In 1997, the Pühringer Private Foundation acquired the building and, after several years of planning, had it renovated, revitalized and converted between 2000 and 2003, taking into account all available historical information. The total investment volume was 85 million euros.
The "new" Palais Coburg opened its doors on 7 November 2003. Six centuries of Viennese architectural history were thus brought to life in their entirety for the first time. The special, historical building fabric also forms the basis for today's use of the Palais with a total area of more than 16,000 square metres.
By the way: If one is interested in history, one can experience the exciting history and stories of the "House of Kings" as part of an exclusive guided tour and visit the historic rooms of Palais Coburg.

Star chef Silvio Nickol and his team have succeeded in establishing a fixed star in top gastronomy in Vienna with the restaurant of the same name. The culinary offer includes creative interpretations of classic dishes as well as extraordinarily composed innovations, which can be uniquely combined with the Palais Coburg's comprehensive range of wines. With 5,000 items and no less than 60,000 bottles, the restaurant's wine book offers an extremely impressive range and the perfect accompaniment to every menu. Architecturally, the gourmet restaurant presents itself with glass, wood and leather in a private but modern atmosphere.

Her painting can be seen in the centre of the restaurant.

COMMENT:
In the series of luxury hotels in Vienna, the Palais Coburg is not to be missed. But can this palace with six centuries of architectural history be mentioned in the same context as the city's most exclusive hotels? It is not just a hotel as guests would normally know it; there are no rooms, only suites, which - let's just say - are well worth their price. The intensely private atmosphere seems to be the philosophy of the operators, and it can be felt everywhere. Impressive also is the 60,000-bottle wine cellar, which allows the in-house restaurant to offer its guests a wine book with 5,000 selections.
