We always appreciate the detail in your reviews ^ They are very helpful.
We had two one night stays at the LM Vienna recently, as well as a 2 night stay at the Bristol. The room we had at the Bristol was the Bristol Suite which was recently renovated, maybe a bit too modern, but addresses the issue raised above about the Bristol being a bit tired. Loved their service though.
At the LM we had fairly large rooms each time, executive rooms, but definely lacked much character. The first stay was very short, as we had an early flight to LAX. The breakfast had just started and everything was cold, seemed almost like leftover, and no one could make any fresh egg dishes. The FD refunded my PLT 500 pt amenity. Second stay was much better. Corner room, again an executive room, and a bathtub this time. Breakfast problem seemed to be corrected and was fine.
Reminds me of my time living in China: looks good, but lacks any substance.
