Unfortunately, our room wasn't ready by the 3P check-in as promised -- we didn't make it into the room until 4:45P. We did enjoy a free drink at the bar while waiting, but we would have preferred the quiet room to get some work down and shower before dinner. Oh well.

The suite is very nice. Having the separate living room is very helpful for us when we travel, as one of us always finds stuck on a at least a few meetings during the trip. The PH feels very modern but a little less grand than the Imperial. I feel like this hotel could be plopped down anywhere in the world compared to the very European feeling Imperial. The pool is pretty incredible though -- definitely a must-see if you stay here. The location is very much right in the middle of all the typically sights. Getting a more reasonably priced meal takes a couple of blocks of walking, which is easy to do.

Breakfast is good. The restaurant is gorgeous. You can order eggs off the menu as well and they were quite good. The buffet was full of pastries and delicious breads. Our lattes were included in the complementary breakfast.

I think if we come back to Vienna we will probably pick the Imperial over the PH. For price (points or cash), the Imperial feels a little more intimate, a little more grand, and has a lot more personality.
