Schottenring - Vienna

11th June 2016

After Votivkirche, you will see two more Ringstrasse hotels on your left: the Hotel de France and the Hotel Hilton Plaza.

A few metres ahead on the other side, you pass the former Vienna Stock Exchange (Wiener Börse). The neo-Renaissance style building is now housing several financial services firms, and the business restaurant Hansen.

Palais Hansen isa monumental historic palace built by Ringstrassen star architect Theophil Hansen. Since 2013, it houses the Kempinski Hotel, one of the most elegant hotels in Vienna. I’ve made it for drinks in the lobby, but the hotel’s gourmet restaurant (Edvard) has also been widely appraised for its atmosphere and fantastic food.
