Historic World Exhibition building in Vienna relaunched as Kempinski hotel
POSTED 21 Mar 2013 . BY Aoife Dowling
Kempinski has unveiled the new Palais Hansen Kempinski, Vienna, Austria - originally built as a hotel for the World Exhibition in Vienna in 1873.

The new property is located in the centre of Vienna at the famous Ring Bouevard and aims to captivate visitors with its historic building, modern architecture and contemporary luxury.

It also features an 8,611sq ft (800 sq m) Kempinski, the Spa, which offers a spa journey that is inspired by the European seasons.

The spa houses six treatment rooms including a private spa suite with a steam bath.

Four saunas with diving pools are also on offer, which include mixed and single sex saunas, steam baths and a bio-sauna.

The spa bases its range of treatments on “the power of nature and water combined with the great bathing culture of the Ottoman Empire.”

Other leisure facilities include a beauty salon and a fitness centre with a range of cardio equipment and 12 weight machines.

The hotel features 152 guestrooms and suites, two restaurants and three bars including a night bar and cigar lounge.

The dining experiences are led by executive chef Philipp Vogel’s team, which offer a variety of dishes that mix Austrian tradition with a contemporary flair.
