ROOTED IN HISTORY

ARTFUL LIVING

The Ritz-Carlton Albertina Suite carries on the legacy of Palais Ötzelt owner, builder and architect Anton Ötzelt, who housed his extensive art collection in the building where the suite is located. In partnership with Vienna’s renowned ALBERTINA museum, the two-bedroom suite features five masterpieces from the Batliner Collection, including works by Marc Chagall, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas and Monet; VIP access to the museum’s exhibits and events; and a collection of art books and exhibition catalogs. Those inspired by the Ring Boulevard view can try their hand at creating a masterpiece of their own with an easel and traceable sketch of the famous street.

STORIED SUITES

Set within two of the hotel’s four 19th-century palaces, these suites tell the story of Vienna’s beautification and expansion in the late 1800s. Outside of these accommodations, reminders of the city’s past remain, from the lobby lounge ceiling, with gold from the safe of the bank once housed here, to the lion faces carved into the façade to ward off evil spirits. 

RING BOULEVARD RETREATS

Before Franz-Joseph ascended to the throne in 1848, Vienna was enclosed within the city walls. Today, those walls are where you’ll find the Ring Boulevard, part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage historical city center. In the mid-19th century, Franz-Joseph set out to beautify his city, launching a wave of construction by renowned architects along the Ring Boulevard in a style that would come to be known as Ringstrassen architecture.
