Location
Hotel Royal stands adjacent to St. Stephen's Cathedral, offering immediate access to Kärntner Straße and the famous shopping streets of Graben and Kärntnerstraße. Situated within walking distance of major attractions like the Vienna State Opera and Hofburg Palace, it makes an excellent choice for sightseeing. Public transportation options, including metro lines U1 and U3, are easily accessible, facilitating exploration of the city.
Dining
Hotel Royal includes two Italian restaurants: Ristorante Firenze Enoteca, known for its extensive Chianti-Classico wine selection, and Ristorante Settimo Cielo, located on the rooftop for panoramic views of Vienna. Guests can savor exquisite dishes while enjoying breathtaking scenery in a relaxed atmosphere. Both dining options provide authentic Italian cuisine, perfect for any meal of the day.

Each room is equipped with amenities such as parquet flooring, a minibar, coffee and tea facilities, and cable TV. Allergy-friendly options are available, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests.
Heritage
With roots dating back to 1931, Hotel Royal is owned by the Kremslehner family and retains a familial atmosphere. One prominent cultural highlight is a historic wall painting, depicting Vienna before the second Turkish encampment in 1683, visible in the lobby. This unique artwork attracts many visitors each year, providing a glimpse into the city's rich history.
Accessibility
The hotel provides a partnership with a nearby public garage to accommodate guests arriving by car, given that the inner city operates as a non-parking zone. Check-in begins at 3 p.m., and luggage can be stored for early arrivals at no extra charge.

“In my opinion, its location next to St. Stephen's Cathedral and the proximity to subway lines make this hotel a practical choice for exploring Vienna.
