Eurostars Grand Hotel Wien
Vienna, Austria · Eurostars · Grand Luxury
Vienna's first grand hotel opened here in 1870, the year after the Vienna State Opera arrived two hundred meters away, with 300 rooms, steam-powered elevators, and a telegraph office that made it a sensation in the imperial capital. Johann Strauss II celebrated his fiftieth stage anniversary here in 1894. Soviet troops occupied the building after World War II, and once they left it spent two decades as the International Atomic Energy Agency's headquarters before All Nippon Airways bought and fully restored it, reopening as a hotel again in 1994.
