Almanac Palais Vienna: Where Timeless Grandeur Meets Contemporary Seduction
Jaime Beriestain brings his signature style home to the Austrian capital
A Palais Reborn
Vienna has no shortage of stately buildings, but few have been reimagined with such confidence and flair as the Almanac Palais Vienna. Housed in two adjoining palais from the mid-19th century, this new flagship feels less like a traditional hotel opening and more like a cultural event. Behind the grand façades lies an atmosphere that is unapologetically modern yet deeply rooted in history—a dialogue between past and present that feels as natural as it is striking.
Design That Seduces
Spanish designer Jaime Beriestain—the creative mind behind the acclaimed Almanac Barcelona—has infused the interiors with his trademark balance of warmth, sophistication, and subtle drama. The palette leans into rich textures and sensual tones: polished marble, burnished brass, velvety upholstery, and soft ambient light that bathes corridors and rooms in a golden glow. It’s unmistakably Viennese in its grandeur, yet refreshingly untraditional in execution—sexy, inviting, and quietly theatrical.
Rooms with a Point of View
The hotel’s 111 rooms and suites capture the same mood: elegant and understated, but with design details that surprise. Oversized windows frame views of the Stadtpark or the city’s Parkring boulevard, while custom-made furniture and tactile finishes make each space feel residential rather than formulaic. Bathrooms are sanctuaries in themselves—sleek marble, sculptural fixtures, and indulgent amenities that turn daily rituals into small luxuries.
A Culinary & Cultural Hub
Beyond the guestrooms, Almanac Palais Vienna positions itself as a destination for the city as much as for travelers. Its dining concept—rooted in seasonal Austrian produce and international influences—offers a vibrant take on Viennese gastronomy, served in a setting that feels equal parts salon and stage. The bar and lounge spaces buzz with life from morning espresso to late-night cocktails, drawing in locals and guests alike.
Wellness & Well-Being
The Almanac Wellness & Spa reinterprets the traditional Viennese ritual of leisure with contemporary flair. Expect a serene pool, saunas, and a curated menu of treatments that balance relaxation with revitalization—a perfect counterpoint to a day spent exploring the city’s cultural riches.
Location, Location, Location
Set on the Parkring, directly across from the Stadtpark, the hotel occupies one of Vienna’s most prestigious addresses. Here, you’re steps away from the city’s finest concert halls, art museums, and shopping boulevards—yet shielded just enough to feel like you’re in your own sanctuary of calm.
DNA Hotels Verdict
The Almanac Palais Vienna isn’t just another luxury opening—it’s a statement. By blending Viennese history with Beriestain’s cosmopolitan design language, it creates a hotel that feels both rooted and forward-looking, decadent and livable. For travelers who crave style with soul, and for locals eager for a new cultural hub, this is Vienna’s new grande dame—reborn for the modern age.
