Issue: August 31, 2007

From outside, Palais Coburg looks imposing enough, its neoclassical edifice looming over a small street in the center of Vienna. Inside, the 35-suite luxury hotel features a spa and a treasure trove of delights for the wine lover, including a sleek wine bar, a relaxing bistro and a gourmet restaurant helmed by one of Austria's best chefs, Christian Petz.
