Hilton has further strengthened its presence in Austria with the opening of the Astoria Hotel Vienna, the first Curio Collection property in the Austrian capital. The hotel, located in the city’s 1st district, blends unique design and local heritage, creating a new offering for both leisure and business travelers.
A historic hotel with a new look
The Astoria Hotel, originally opened in 1912, has undergone a significant renovation led by the Verkehrsbüro Group. Now featuring 125 rooms, including seven junior suites and one Beletage Suite, the hotel retains its classic Art Deco style while incorporating modern amenities. It also offers four conference rooms, catering to both business and leisure needs.
Guests can enjoy authentic Viennese cuisine at the hotel’s Great Salon, which serves a variety of local specialties such as Kaiserschmarrn and Fiaker Goulash alongside a traditional breakfast buffet. The newly renovated Astoria Bar offers a selection of local beers, Austrian wines, and classic cocktails, enhancing the overall guest experience.
