Hotel Bristol is located directly opposite the Vienna State Opera and near famous city sights. The Hotel Bristol is uniquely placed for business travellers and holiday visitors. Unique antiques and original works of art decorate each of the guest rooms and suites. Since 1892, the Bristol has represented the cosmopolitan hub of Viennese social, cultural and business life, combining its rich past with its contemporary comforts. Floor-to-ceiling gilt-framed mirrors hang at every landing of the hotel's immense staircases. Corridors are studded with Art Nouveau leadlighting and the lift is lined with marble and leather. The lobby lounge has marble columns, chandeliers and oil paintings, and is scattered with plump Biedemeyer armchairs and marble coffee tables. Palms in brass pots provide privacy for guests reading American, German and Japanese newspapers. This hotel has 140 guestrooms, all of which are furnished with antiques and hung with period oil paintings
