What an amazing hotel! The staff was so kind and the hotel is absolutely beautiful. For the first time I stayed at a hotel with the shower and bathtubs were so easy to use (very high tech). Conveniently located! Lastly, the breakfast was fantastic, don’t miss out.

Overall, our stay was great. Can’t complain about anything in general. I didn’t give it a full 5 stars as there were some minor things that were overlooked and that stood out to me.
1. The coffee in the minibar was never restocked. I had to call twice to get more coffee
2. The shower head from the rainforest shower part had only half the nozzles working.
3. The button mechanics for the bath and shower were, while kinda cool at first, ended up being wonky and felt a little gimmicky.
Aside from that, the staff were very friendly, room service was timely, and the facilities and overall hotel was beautiful.

Antanara FAR exceeded expectations. Gorgeous building, well appointed rooms; fantastic amenities and perfect location. Incredible staff. Special thanks to Martina for problem solving at check in. Also Augustine for being a wonderful doorman. Highly recommend the morning breakfast. The variety and quality of the food was good as anywhere I have had in the world. What really stood out though was the Service. Lindsey the manager was highly attentive and friendly. The hostess Jana knew our names after the first day and greeted us with a big smile every morning. Finally our daily server Moises was a delight. Look this hotel is just great! I travel frequently and this hotel is right at the top of my list with hotel costing 3 times as much!

The hotel was located in a great location and close to transport links. It was clean and spacious and the reception staff were welcoming and efficient. (I had forgotten to bring a USB-A to USB-C charger for my mobile phone and when I asked the receptionist where I could buy one they found a brand new one for me behind the desk.)
The room was luxurious and light, well furnished and with a large bathroom and very nice shower.
The breakfast was of a high standard with a good choice of options, including a cooked one, and the restaurant was large, bright and quiet, even when quite busy.
I really enjoyed my stay here and was sorry to leave.

The hotel is old and doesn't feel like luxury 5 stars experience. Cleanliness needs to be improved in the hotel's rooms and corridors. Also, the smell in the hotel isn't good, and it feels like it's old and unmaintained. Despite this, the breakfast is excellent and the staff is friendly and accommodating.

We had an exceptional experience at the Anantara Palais Hansen during our visit to Vienna. This hotel truly lives up to its 5-star promise, exceeding all our expectations.
The property is stunning, impeccably maintained, and embodies the level of luxury that American travelers associate with high-end hotels. Our rooms were spacious, beautifully furnished, and spotlessly clean, featuring large bathrooms with hot, invigorating showers. Every detail was thoughtfully considered to ensure comfort and style.
The staff were outstanding—courteous, professional, and always willing to assist with a smile. Their dedication to service made our stay all the more enjoyable.
Located in the heart of the Innere Stadt, the hotel is perfectly situated within walking distance of iconic attractions like the Vienna State Opera and Hofburg Palace. This convenient location made exploring Vienna a breeze.
I highly recommend the Anantara Palais Hansen to anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable stay in Vienna. We would gladly stay here again on our next visit.

Large room but whole place feels a little tired and room could do with a deep clean - surfaces clearly not dusted frequently, carpet dirty. Had to ask at reception to get room cleaned as hadn’t been done whilst we were out (9-4) on Saturday so maybe not enough staff? Breakfast shambolic on first day but much better with really helpful staff on second and third days. There’s a lot of competition in Vienna and Kempinski’s current formula there isn’t a winner

My stay at this five-star hotel was enjoyable overall, though not without a few issues.
The staff were generally receptive and responsive, but the reception team could have been more proactive about informing guests of amenities like the spa and breakfast services. The spa itself was exceptional, with staff maintaining a high standard of hospitality.
The ground floor atrium was beautifully decorated, and the live piano performances in the evening created an elegant atmosphere. However, breakfast service on the second morning, during peak hours, was slow, and it was difficult to place orders beyond the buffet. Additionally, one staff member managing breakfast approached me shortly before service ended with a condescending tone, which detracted from an otherwise pleasant dining experience. On a brighter note, the chef preparing made-to-order eggs was exceptionally warm and friendly.
The room was comfortable and meticulously cleaned by the housekeeping team. While the high-tech shower was impressive, there were some maintenance issues, including a defective towel warmer, loose tiles, and a sloped area outside the shower that was a tripping hazard. Persistent lighting from bedside panels was slightly inconvenient, and minibar prices were excessive for a hotel of this caliber.
Despite these minor setbacks, the ambiance, spa, and overall service made for a mostly enjoyable experience.
