At a Glance
Located on the Am Hof (the city’s oldest square) and a five-minute walk from the Hofburg, the Park Hyatt is excellently situated and exudes a warm, distinctly Viennese charm (but it feels slightly more corporate than the historic Sacher).

- The subterranean pool, making the Park Hyatt particularly enviable for those traveling with children
- The sprawling Presidential suite, which affords spectacular views of neighboring buildings and the cafés below
- The buzzy restaurant, The Bank, located in the former cashier's hall
Review
Like much of the imperial city itself, the Park Hyatt fuses past and present. Its historic location—the building was previously the headquarters of Bank Austria and the site was home to Vienna’s first palace—is subtly tied into the décor; gold bars tile the bottom of the pool, meeting rooms feature antique relics from previous tenants and, while modern, the vibe throughout reminds of old-world Vienna.
The lounge looks out on Bognergasse—a typically Viennese strasse with cafés (like the famous Zum Schwarzen Kameel), a vintage-looking Apotheke and pedestrians strolling leisurely. The best of the spacious 143 rooms offer similar views. Accommodations feature achingly high ceilings, lavish marble bathrooms and blackout shades (so at night you are blissfully unaware of the hotel’s location in the city center.) The room types vary greatly, and the higher the category does not necessarily mean the better the room, so it is best to contact the Indagare Bookings Team for assistance with your reservation. Particularly charming are the studio rooms, which, thanks to their location on the sixth and highest floor, feature sloped ceilings and wonderful light.
Of note are the spectacular facilities, including an extensive gym, pool and wonderful Arany Spa. The dining options are equally well rounded with multiple venues including the upscale Bank restaurant, the alfresco Am Hof Schanigarten and the Café Am Hof, a coffee and and pastry shop that is adored by guests as well as locals.
Who Should Stay
