From the very first second I walked into The Ritz-Carlton Vienna,
I knew I had chosen the right location for my homebase to
explore Austria's historic capital. In classic Ritz-Carlton fashion,
warm welcomes and fresh tea made my arrival feel more like
a homecoming (and quickly suppressed the city's early June
heatwave).
Repurposed from four 19th-century palaces, The Ritz-Carlton
is at the edge of Vienna City Park and is just a short walk from
the State Opera House and the Wiener Musikverein. Inside, the
hotel features two top restaurants including the newly opened
Pastamara and the highly regarded Dstrikt Steakhouse, the latter
of which I had the privilege of experiencing. For me, Dstrikt is a
perfect dinner setting after spending a day out in the city—one
which gave me a choice of a dozen steak knives.
Another escape from the high temperatures were the cold
Austrian-inspired cocktails at the property's eighth floor
Atmosphere Rooftop Bar, which offers panoramic views of the
city. Ideal for anyone who wants to explore Vienna and also come
home to the comforts of a five-star hotel, The Ritz-Carlton quickly
reminded me why the brand is a worldwide leader in luxury.
