Park Hyatt Vienna
Check rates & availability on hyatt.comA spectacular luxury hotel in a monumental former bank building from 1914 on the historic Am Hof square. The grand banking hall now serves as the stunning lobby. Features an indoor pool in the original bank vault.
Park Hyatt Vienna occupies a spectacular former banking palace at Am Hof 2 in Vienna's 1st District (Innere Stadt), housed in a monumental building constructed in 1914 for the Vienna Banking Union. Am Hof is one of Vienna's oldest squares—once the residence of the Babenberg rulers who preceded the Habsburgs—and is surrounded by Baroque palaces and the Jesuit Church of the Nine Choirs of Angels. The hotel is within a ten-minute walk of Stephansdom, Graben, and the Hofburg Palace complex. The Herrengasse U-Bahn station (U3) is approximately four minutes on foot.
The building's restoration, completed in 2014, preserved the extraordinary original architectural fabric. The grand banking hall—with its soaring marble columns, coffered ceiling, and Art Nouveau detailing—now serves as the hotel's awe-inspiring lobby, making an immediate and lasting impression on arrival. The original director's offices were converted into suites, and the historic vault beneath the bank—once used to store bullion and securities—has been transformed into a heated indoor swimming pool. This detail makes Park Hyatt Vienna arguably the most architecturally distinctive luxury hotel in the Austrian capital.
The 143 rooms and suites are finished in warm materials—Viennese oak, bronze fittings, and hand-woven textiles—that complement the historic architecture. Junior suites and above benefit from the building's generous proportions, including high original ceilings. The spa and fitness facilities surround the vault pool, creating a complete underground wellness environment. The Bank Brasserie, the hotel's principal dining venue, occupies the former banking hall under its original vaulted glass ceiling and serves an all-day menu combining Austrian classics with international influences. The Bank Bar specialises in cocktails with an emphasis on Austrian spirits and local botanicals.
Breakfast at Park Hyatt Vienna is widely regarded as one of the finest hotel breakfast experiences in the city, with an extensive hot and cold selection including Austrian regional specialities. The concierge team regularly assists guests with access to the Kunsthistorisches Museum's private collections, private concert bookings at the Musikverein, and chauffeur-driven excursions to the Wachau Valley and the palaces of Lower Austria.
