Before the ASTA River Cruise Expo, I had the pleasure of staying at The Ritz-Carlton Vienna. Though my visit was brief, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. This luxurious hotel provided the perfect setting to relax and recharge before diving into the conference.

A Suite Stay: My Private Retreat

The suite was spacious and thoughtfully designed, with a separate living room featuring a sofa, two chairs, and a desk that made it easy to get some work done or plan the day ahead. It had all the comforts of home with a touch of elegance.

Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed with a glass of wine, a delicious chocolate cake, and a personal note from the manager—a thoughtful gesture that made me feel truly valued. The marble bathroom, complete with a soaking tub and rainfall shower, was a personal highlight. After a long day of travel, I couldn’t resist indulging in a relaxing soak. Everyone who knows me knows how much I love a good bath, and this tub did not disappoint. It was the perfect way to unwind and reset.

Restaurant and Bar experience

Lunch at Pastamara – Bar Con Cucina hotel’s Italian restaurant, was a highlight of my stay. As I descended the stairs to the restaurant, I was greeted by colorful Vespas on display, adding a playful and charming touch to the space.

The menu offered a mix of traditional Italian dishes with a modern twist. My waiter, originally from Sicily, added a personal touch by sharing stories about his home and recommending authentic Sicilian-inspired dishes. I enjoyed handmade pasta and fresh seafood, paired with a glass of Italian wine. The relaxed yet refined atmosphere made it a meal to remember.

Central Location: Perfect for Exploring

While I didn’t have the chance to explore Vienna during my short stay, it was clear that the hotel’s central location is ideal for sightseeing. It’s within walking distance of iconic landmarks like St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Vienna State Opera, making it a perfect base for anyone looking to experience the city’s rich history and culture.

A Stay to Remember

Even with just one night at The Ritz-Carlton Vienna, the experience left a lasting impression. The hotel’s thoughtful gestures, exceptional design, and welcoming atmosphere made it a place I’m already looking forward to returning to. Although I didn’t get the chance to visit the spa this time, I’m excited to experience it on my next visit, as well as enjoy the rooftop bar with its panoramic views.
