Imperial Riding School, Autograph Collection

Delve into the wonderful mysteries of Vienna at the storied Imperial Riding School. Evolving from a 19th century military equestrian school to the city's largest cinema, this historic building has always been a defining part of Vienna's cultural landscape. Now, as a grand 342-bedroom hotel that combines the original majestic facade with a contemporary addition, we invite you to explore the idiosyncratic grandeur of regal Austria. Located in the artistic Landstraße district, the Imperial Riding School is surrounded by architectural fascinations, but stands out for its harmonious blend of aristocratic and bohemian characteristics. Inside, you'll find nods to our regal equestrian heritage, from the stable-inspired floors to the plethora of apple delights, plucked from the orchard that is our tribute to the school's founder, Emperor Franz Joseph I. Whether your visit is for culture or business, here you’ll find the perfect balance of elegance and eccentricity.
