Palais Hansen Kempinski Vienna, opening 2012. Situated in the historical heart of the Danube metropolis, the property will offer exceptional service and quality of the recognized Kempinski standard from the very first day of its opening – naturally stylish and refined, witty and daring but warm through and through. The Palais Hansen is uniquely located on Schottenring, a close neighbour to the Vienna Stock Exchange, St Stephen’s Cathedral and all of Vienna’s major attractions. Once renovated, the historical Viennese palace will glow as a 5-star deluxe hotel, offering 150 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a bar, fitness center and spa with pool, meeting and conference facilities as well as 18 exclusive penthouse residences.
