About Us

Tradition and present, arts and delights – experience the special flair of a top hotel in the heart of Vienna.

For more than 125 years the Ambassador Hotel offers elegance and luxury such as cannot be found in any other hotel in Vienna.

Like a pole which has come to rest at the heart of the cosmopolitan city, the Ambassador Hotel enjoys a truly special loacation, on one side directly on the exquisite shopping street Kärntner Straße, on the other side on Neuer Markt with its historic characteristics. The State Opera, St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Imperial Palace and the Musikverein are in the immediate vicinity.

This unique position allows you to experience the cultural metropolis of Vienna at the very pulse of our own times. Not without reason is the Ambassador a favorite meeting place for celebrity guests, as it always has been.

Arts and music, pleasure and relaxation are closely associated with Vienna and the Ambassador Hotel. According to our motto "Arts and Delights" we combine personal enjoyment with classical elements of art and culture without forgetting the pleasures of good food, fine wines and shopping.

The place to be – The place to live!

"Situated in the finest part of the city, and provided with all modern comforts" - This was the wording of the advertisement placed by the hotel, under the name of "Hotel Krantz", in the Wiener Zeitung, issue number 127, on Saturday 4th June 1898, page 12. The description we gave of ourselves back then still fits today.

It is with full justification that the Ambassador Hotel, with its more than 125 year old history, can designate itself as one of the richest buildings in the city in terms of tradition. And not just in respect of its function as a hotel. The Ambassador Hotel has been welcoming people over the course of the decades in a wide variety of functions, and under different names. The range of its use extends from that of a private house, to its use as an exclusive ballroom for the highest echelons of Vienna society, from a concert hall to the finest of hotels.

Luxury and tradition in a stylish atmosphere, together with the latest technical equipment, enclosed within the preserved historic façade in the Italian Renaissance style – this is what the Ambassador Hotel, fully refurbished in 2000, provides for its guests today. This unique symbiosis of the traditional and the modern, the past and the present, artistic refinement and pure pleasure gives our time honored establishment its special flair as a top hotel.
