Hotels Of Elegance And Absolute Luxury

'A trip is a holiday, and when on a holiday, no holds may be barred. I prefer to treat myself, I must have it.' If this is your view and you are planning to tour Vienna, Austria, then you will agree with me when I say that where you stay should constitute 50% of your holiday. Austrian lodges are known
to offer luxurious service and will definitely welcome your visit in style.

If it is elegance that you are after, then I advocate that you try Vienna's first and oldest luxury hotel - the Grand Hotel. It boasts of providing its guests with 'presidential treatment', a gesture being observed since 1870. The hotel facilities, of course, are state-of-the-art, and the ambiance is magnificently imperial. Red carpets, marble floors, chandeliers, rooms prettified with antiques -- this is lavishness set at a higher level. The rooms may be on the diminutive side, but the suites are large enough to fit all the 'president's men', and most definitely, your family.

If you are more for the elegant fluff and period pieces, and you want the zing of Vienna's premiere design hotel, then Das Triest will be more desirable. The 300-year-old hotel is a marriage of Austrian history and artistic new design. Interestingly, the building was once used as stables for horses carting posts from Vienna to the Italian city of Trieste. Presently, Das Triest is a nautical palace, with portholes switching spy holes and windows. If you are propitious enough, you might even bump into regular guests like Robbie Williams and Kyle Minogue.
