WORDS BY Pauline Brettell

Housed in an Art Nouveau building originally designed by Alfred Keller and completed in 1908, Mandarin Oriental Vienna has been carefully restored to honour its architectural legacy whilst integrating modern design elements.
The result is a hotel that seamlessly blends historical elegance with contemporary sophistication.
In every aspect, Mandarin Oriental, Vienna combines refined quality with genuine warmth - always elegant, yet comfortably relaxed.
