The old
grand-dame Hotel of Vienna was originally predicted to be mentally dead, but
since the Sacher family took over the ownership, a lot changed and a completely
fresh wind breezes now through the elegantly styled hallways.
After a
glamorous arrival in the 1st class with the new Czech Railjet, we
were chauffeured by our private driver of Uber, to the luxurious Hotel Bristol
on Kärtnerring 1. The check-in was smooth and our Bristol Suite was already
available at 11.30 which was a great plus. Upon entering the heavy door of our
Suite, a completely different world opened to be discovered. Through the bright
and airy entrée we got a first sight of the size of this little piece of pure
heaven.
A huge
living room with two light-brown sofas, a comfortable armchair, a writing desk
with seating arrangements and a TV shelf with a built-in fireplace welcomed one
of its first guests. In addition to this impressive area we found our bedroom
that we entered through two very elegant sliding doors with gold handles.
Everything did not only look so expensive, it really was of high quality. As
the antiques, the deco vases and the lamps.
Back to the
facts, the bedroom: The bed was extremely comfortable and the curtains did
black-out extremely well. Beside the bed there was the entrance to the
bathroom, a heaven for all bath-lovers: A separated toilet area with bidet,
double vanities, a deep bath tub, and finally – an enormous walk-in shower at 1,5x1,5
meters. Last but not least I have to mention the world’s best bathroom
amenities, at least they are the most expensive ones – by famous perfumer Roja
Dove.
Although
the city is amazing, we did not want to leave our heavenly bed. Fortunately
breakfast was predicted to be world-class, so that’s why we headed down to
Bristol Lounge and it really was worth the way. I would call it a very
selective offer but of really high quality: bread is served in the main area,
while all other products, including the cooking place are located in a
separated room which is perfectly cooled for the fresh products.
The staff
was always helpful and they even gave us a complimentary late check-out until 4
pm without any discussion. So we could enjoy the luxury of our huge Bristol Suite on a lazy Sunday afternoon before we headed back to Prague.
The Bristol
proofed once again that it want to compete with the other high class properties
such as the Imperial, the Ritz Carlton and the Park Hyatt. We can gladly say, YES! It is our new favourite hotel in Vienna.
Our stay in a new Bristol Suite at the Hotel Bristol Vienna was completely sponsored by the hotel.
