Großer Ferstelsaal

Where guests feel like seasoned travelers embarking on a grand world voyage. It’s easy to imagine yourself aboard an elegant ocean liner from a bygone era, with the sound of waves gently brushing the hull. Designed to resemble the prow of a ship, this vast hall exudes a strong maritime atmosphere. Majestic columns encircle the space, while an extraordinary coffered wooden ceiling adds a touch of unmatched grandeur. Vienna’s most lavish room.

Kleiner Ferstelsaal

Need more room than the main hall allows? Just swing open the elegant double doors to the Kleiner Ferstelsaal. This charming, Venetian-style pavilion offers plenty of space for buffets and – to be practical for a moment – also works wonderfully as an exhibition area. Transformed into a bar, it’s the ideal spot for an intimate conversation.

Arkadenhof

Who needs to go to Italy when the Arkadenhof, with its stunning marble staircase and breathtaking glass ceiling evoking the spirit of 14th-century Venice, radiates pure Mediterranean allure? The Arkadenhof is perfect for any type of event, from press conferences to confidential meetings tucked safely away from curious onlookers.

Portico

If rich wood paneling is what you’re after, the Portico is the perfect addition to the Grosser Ferstelsaal. Ideal for a conversation, a coffee break, or a relaxed business meeting.

Catering

An enthusiastic in-house catering team ensures that you and your guests are perfectly taken care of with genuine passion. Look forward to first-class service and an attentive team that anticipates your every wish. For an unforgettable event that will be remembered for years to come.
