Vienna is a capital city with rich history, a diverse culture and picturesque cityscapes. The home of classical music and chic shops, Wien, as it is called in German, offers tourists a wealth of possibilities such as museums, historic landmarks and hotels. The Starwood Hotel brand has three locations in Vienna, each hotel offering a distinct experience.
For a royal Viennese experience, make a reservation at the Hotel Bristol. Named for the British town of Bristol on the Western coast of England, this hotel opened in 1892 and has since been the temporary residence of celebrities, royalty, and socialites from all over the world. Famous for being the favorite getaway of Wallis Simpson and her Prince of Wales, Theodore Roosevelt and George Gershwin have all been guests at the Hotel Bristol. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, nightly turn-down service, work stations with high-speed Internet and deluxe linens.
