About Hotel Ambassador
Opened in 1898, the Ambassador's history reflects the parallel and urban evolution of downtown Vienna. With its more than 100-year-old history, it ranks among the most tradition-filled buildings in the city. The hotel's surroundings are equally part Imperial time capsule and modern metropolis: Vienna's most popular shopping streets are just steps away! Since opening its doors, the Ambassador has been the temporary home of well-known figures from the music, art and culture world. Today, the unique symbiosis of the traditional and the modern, the past and the present, gives the Ambassador its special flair. 85 spacious, lovingly designed rooms and 4 apartments offer a harmonious blend of 19th century elements and cutting-edge amenities. The charming bar provides the perfect place to unwind after a day of sightseeing and exploring.
Take advantage of the hotel's fantastic location in the historic city centre, directly on the shopping street Kärntner Straße and in walking distance to the main sights. Explore the elegant first district with its grand buildings and the narrow streets around the hotel.
