What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Palais Mailberger Hof occupies a 17th-century baroque palace whose aristocratic origins are still visible in vaulted ceilings, stone archways, and preserved architectural flourishes.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Annagasse is remarkably quiet, and Kärntner Strasse and the Vienna State Opera sit just around the corner.
The rooms
Bedrooms use dark wood and Viennese woven cane. In the suites, centuries-old ceramic heating stoves remain intact.
The spa
Beneath historic plaster vaulting, cushioned loungers and a drinking fountain sit beside a freestanding Finnish sauna.
At the table
The dining room serves daily brunch with Viennese goulash, and Crux Champagnerbar pours beneath vaulted stone arches.
How it began
Cardinal Kollonitsch lived here during the 1683 Ottoman siege, later rebuilding the estate into a baroque palace.
