Neoclassical colonnades rise above sixteenth-century fortress casemates, framing private magnolia gardens and quiet gilded salons in the city center.
“the palais has suites (and only suites) that are clean and classy, sometimes even grandiose with antique furniture and vibrantly lit chandeliers.”

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
The Coburg isn’t shy about its opulence: the entry is calculated to impress, and makes good on the promises made by the building’s ornate facade.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the historic Innere Stadt, the palace is steps from Stadtpark greenery and a short stroll to St. Stephen's Cathedral.
The rooms
Split-level suites named for European royalty feature antique chandeliers, private salons, and large windows overlooking the internal gardens or city rooftops.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 36-square-metre pool sits beneath a reflective ceiling, lined with classical white columns and cushioned loungers.
The spa
A glass-roofed conservatory lounge opens onto a rooftop terrace, alongside a Finnish sauna and steam bath.
Dogs stay too.
Silvio Nickol Gourmet Restaurant
Chef Silvio Nickol serves two-Michelin-starred tasting menus under black vaulted ceilings, rooted in French technique and Austrian ingredients.
The semi-subterranean entryway allows glimpses of the spectacular banqueting rooms and wine cellars created from the surviving barrel-vaulted medieval brick cellars.
At the table
Sixteenth-century brick vaults store over 60,000 wine bottles for sommelier tastings, and garden terraces host meals among potted greenery.
How it began

Architect Karl Schleps built the palace in the 1840s for Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha atop Vienna's Renaissance fortress wall.
