About Pertschy Palais Hotel
- Before the Pertschys, Generali Insurance owned the palace from 1923 and cut it into flats and shops. On the third floor, Pension Vrtl took in young men studying in the city, among them Oskar Bronner.
- The Habsburgergasse front is eleven bays, with Corinthian columns, a balcony, and a satyr's head on the keystone. The architect was never written down, though the manner is close to Lukas von Hildebrandt.
- The family marked its 50th year in 2014, counting from that first small pension. Rooms now run about 12 to 40 square meters, a few minutes on foot from the Graben.
History
The plot belonged to the von Kapellen family in the 14th century. Octavius Cavriani bought the house around 1605. Hofkammerrat Maximilian Cavriani rebuilt it by 1723 as the baroque palace that still stands, with fronts on Habsburgergasse 5 and Bräunerstraße 8. The family kept it until 1923, when Generali Insurance divided it into flats and shops. Pension Vrtl occupied the third floor. The Pertschy family took a 12-room guesthouse in the early 1960s and marked 50 years in 2014. The hotel now has 55 rooms.
The setting
