Mandarin Oriental Vienna, Austria
Keys: 138
Design: Goddard Littlefair
Why we love it: A meticulous restoration of an early-20th-century courthouse, the hotel is a lesson in quiet luxury. Here, a sculptural courtyard, chef Thomas Seifried’s cosmopolitan dining, and a commissioned work by Austrian artist Peter Jellitsch ground the property in Vienna’s artistic spirit.
