Review
Jamie Dunford Wood:
This predominantly business hotel [formerly known as the Ana Grand] does one thing very well - it is a
place you feel immediately at home in. Cool, comfortable and supremely elegant,
the rooms come in two shades - green, or white and rose, with a comforting
uniformity of shape and size. Bathrooms are in beige and brown marbles, with two
sinks, the rooms are spacious with little entrance passageways for a sense of
privacy, and there are gizmos like shutter and tv control from the telephone.
The prints are repro, but tasteful. There are potted plants in the Edwardian
lobby, but upstairs the common parts and cool cream and inviting.
The superior rooms offer not a
lot extra, so the choice is between the Ringstrasse side - possibly noisy, and
the back, which gives onto a modern shopping center tacked on the rear - the
hotel's only drawback. This can be noisy at weekends when the bars are full.
Choose a high floor.
