The prestigious building with its prominent facade in the style of the German Neo-Renaissance in Esterházygasse 33 in the 6th district of Vienna has been continuously used as a hotel for more than 100 years. Today, after a responsible renovation that focused on the historic structure of the building, Hotel Fürst Metternich presents itself as a stylish boutique hotel with tradition and flair in the immediate vicinity of the shopping boulevard “Mariahilfer Straße”.
Wrought-iron fittings, striking wood paneling, huge chandeliers, golden stucco, and an impressive staircase let you immerse in the Vienna at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. As a member of “Castle Hotels & Mansions”, we are happy to welcome you to Hotel Fürst Metternich in Vienna.
Due to its location in a quiet side street of the shopping boulevard “Mariahilfer Straße“, the magnificent Wiener Ringstraße, the museums with treasures from all over the world, the impressive Hofburg as a witness of the Habsburg monarchy, as well as the State Opera can easily be reached.
The building was built to a design of Carl Stephann in 1896 as a residential house, embedded in a row of houses with typical Viennese character. The architect was a student of Eduard van der Nüll who the building of the Viennese State Opera is attributed to. Carl Stephann was famous for his impressive buildings in the style of the Neo-Renaissance all his life. In 1915, the residential building was changed into a hotel, keeping the cozy residential character and the historic ambiance.
