Mandarin Oriental’s newest hotel, located within the historic Ringstrasse in Vienna, has opened with a Spa at Mandarin Oriental Vienna. The brand’s first hotel in Austria was originally a 1906 art nouveau court house. The building has been reimagined to include 138 rooms and suites, and a 700sqm curated wellness experience with seven treatment rooms, relaxation lounge and a 13m indoor pool.

The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Vienna is devoted to renewal, balance and holistic wellbeing. The thermal zone includes a sauna and steam room, and there’s a fully equipped Technogym fitness centre.
The Essence of Vienna
Inspired by Vienna’s blend of art, culture and musical heritage, the spa offers locally inspired treatments blended with traditional Asian therapies.
Signature rituals include the Essence of Vienna treatment – Music and Movement, which blends local botanicals with massage choreographed to Mozart and Strauss.
The spa’s facial partners are 111Skin and Swiss Perfection. Marking the brand’s first collaboration with Mandarin Oriental, the spa offers Wildsmith’s Regenerative Radiance Facial as well as Wildsmith body rituals developed to address the ‘silent loads’ of modern life including depletion and disconnection.
