Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel: A Ringstrasse Palais with a Michelin Star

The Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna Hotel occupies one of the grand palais of Vienna's Ringstrasse, designed by architect Theophil Hansen and built for the 1873 World Exhibition. Restored into a luxury hotel, it pairs that imperial-era grandeur with the polished service of the Anantara group in the heart of the Austrian capital.

The dining is a highlight. EDVARD holds a Michelin star and four toques, where chef Paul Gamauf crafts seasonal, low-waste tasting menus from foraged local ingredients; Brasserie Sophie serves Austrian and European classics; and Theo's palm-shaded courtyard lounge offers Viennese coffee culture, cocktails and a curated afternoon tea.

For a grand, central Vienna stay with a serious kitchen, Palais Hansen is a standout.
