WHERE NOBLE GRANDEUR MEETS UNCONVENTIONAL CHARM. Delve into the wonderful mysteries of Vienna at the storied Imperial Riding School. Evolving from a 19th century military equestrian school to the city's largest cinema, this historic building has always been a defining part of Vienna's cultural landscape. Now, as a grand 342-bedroom hotel that combines the original majestic facade with a contemporary addition, we invite you to explore the idiosyncratic grandeur of regal Austria. Located in the quite quirky Landstraße district, the Imperial Riding School is surrounded by architectural fascinations, but stands out for its harmonious blend of aristocratic and bohemian characteristics. Inside, you'll find nods to our regal equestrian heritage, from the stable-inspired floors to the plethora of apple delights, plucked from the orchard that is our tribute to the school's founder, Emperor Franz Joseph I. Whether your visit is for culture or business, here you'll find the perfect balance of elegance and eccentricity.

Elstar Restaurant Named after the famed Dutch apple variety that we grow in our very own orchard, Elstar reimagines Vienna's culinary heritage through a contemporary lense. Traditional Austrian dishes are reinterpreted with Eastern touches, echoing the influences of the country's neighbours, and local producers are always the star of the show. Drop in for a small plate and coffee, or linger for longer over an indulgent evening feast. Elster The Garden & Orchard Tucked behind our majestic facade we have the city's largest private garden, framed by a small orchard-an homage to Emperor Franz Joseph I's beloved apple trees that once stood here. A tranquil enclave in the heart of Vienna, here you can enjoy the full Elstar menu, which encompasses a mix of small and large plates of Austrian classics infused with Eastern influences. With its own bar and extensive outdoor space, the garden transforms throughout the year, hosting barbecues and picnics in summer, and festive markets ahead of Christmas. The Farrier Bar A sophisticated bar without any of the fussiness, The Farrier evolves from coffee spot by day to sleek cocktail spot at night. Named after the craftsmen responsible for dressing the Imperial Riding School horses, today's Farrier applies that same attention to detail to creating impeccable drinks that encourage you to linger a little longer.
