Original design elements, elegant lines and light-filled rooms create a stylish ambience that uniquely unite past and present. A subtle palette, refined materials, and a welcoming sense of space give each room lightness. The offerings include three exclusive Mandarin Signature Suites and a grand Royal Suite, each a sumptuous, expansive retreat.

For events, meetings, and special occasions, the hotel offers seven multifunctional boardrooms and an elegant 140-sqm ballroom. The light-filled spaces provide a setting that combines state-of-the-art flexibility with unmistakable Viennese sophistication.
