Inter-Continental and other Vienna, Austria Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

I really enjoyed staying here for 3 nights in early December. The room itself was a little small, but in the end it didn't matter much. The lobby bar in this hotel was always packed, much to my surprise, and had reasonable prices as well as live music in the evening. It was wonderfully decorated for the Christmas season. I did take a pass on the breakfast buffet, which cost 26 Euros pp, which I just refused to pay. Also the bellhops were incredibly helpful and amazingly nice, much more so than the stationed concierge in the lobby. I was looking for a hotel that was off the Ringstrasse for a little bit more quiet while I slept, yet still very close to the Inner Stadt, and the Intercontintenal totally fit that bill. It is literally across the street from the U-Bahn, and a short walk from the Wien Mitte station to catch the S-Bahn or the CAT. It is not much to look at from the outside, but the inside gives you that classical European feel.

This hotel had what I thought was a perfect location -- across the street from the CAT, also across the street from both the U-Bahn and the S-Bahn, and just a 2 blocks walk to the Ringstrasse. The room was nice, more spacious than other hotels I have stayed in in Vienna, though the room was advertised as with a king bed, and the bed was definitely a queen. We got upgraded to an Executive Floor, which gave us access to the Executive Lounge, which I highly recommend if you can get it. They have free food -- light fare -- running all day, which was perfect when you were just in need of a snack or a quick drink. The Executive Lounge also has stunning views of the city. The lobby bar was quite crowded nearly every night we were there due to numerous happy hour specials.
