Fodor's Expert Review The Amauris

Kärntner Ring 8, Vienna, Vienna, 1010, Austria

Following the trend toward smaller boutique properties, this luxury lodging takes its place alongside some of Vienna's opulent grand hotels. It is now part of the Relais & Châteaux association. The 1860 historic facade remains, as does the old-fashioned wrought-iron elevator, but otherwise it oozes sumptuous modernity. The walls of the bar and commons spaces have paintings by famous Austrian artists from the 1900s. The elegant entrance is discreet but welcoming, and the rooms have modern amenities. The spa and gym area on the top floor, with views overlooking the church of St. Charles is state-of-the-art, have a Finnish sauna and pool.
