Two neo-Baroque palaces built in 1871 for industrialist Hugo Henckel von Donnersmarck and textile magnate Friedrich Leitenberger stand joined on Vienna's Ringstrasse across from the Stadtpark.

About Almanac Palais Vienna
- The Henckel von Donnersmarck building was commissioned as a wedding gift for the industrialist's second wife, Laura, and later stood plundered and empty for decades after World War II.
- Vienna's city government bought the derelict palace in 1977, and it operated for decades as a Radisson hotel before the flag came off in late 2013.
- Designer Jaime Beriestain's renovation drew on the Imperial period and Gustav Klimt's mosaics, mixing Austrian art references with the buildings' original stucco ceilings and marble doorways.
- Almanac Palais Vienna opened in March 2023, the same year the city marked the 150th anniversary of the 1873 Vienna World's Fair.
- Entry-level rooms start at 301 sq ft (28 m²).
