Luxury hotel group Mandarin Oriental has debuted in Austria with Mandarin Oriental Vienna, a restoration in the heart of the city’s First District. Located within the historic Ringstrasse, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the hotel blends traditional Viennese architecture with contemporary design. Originally built in the early 20th century as a courthouse by Austrian architect Alfred Keller, the building has been transformed by luxury interior design studio Goddard Littlefair. Spanning four floors, the hotel’s 86 rooms and 52 suites feature natural light, bespoke furnishings and neutral palettes. At the heart of the hotel is a restored courtyard.
Our Regional Travel experts Shevaughan and Moe joined ATPI Client Relationship Manager Kirsten and hotel Director of Sales Lisa Breckon for a review of the Park Hyatt Auckland, now that it has just celebrated its 5th anniversary. The ATPI Team commented that despite that 5-year age that the hotel is beautifully maintained and not showing any of the ‘wear and tear’ usually evident around this vintage. We sell the Park Hyatt Auckland with complete confidence and as one of our Virtuoso properties we can arrange the usual benefits including space available early check in and late check out, a US$100 F&B credit and potentially a room category upgrade.
