16th December 2002

The Grand Hotel Wien has been awarded "Austrian Hotel of the Year 2003" by "Der große Restaurant and Hotel Guide", one of the most prestigious and well-known German hotel and restaurant guides.

According to the guide's editors, the Grand Hotel Wien is a "traditional hotel, which has excellently mastered the leap into the new millenium", and which is "inspired by the flair of the monarchy and the music of Johann Strauss".

A team of independent and experienced testers evaluated approximately 2500 hotels and 1500 restaurants in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The criteria for the selection and the evaluation of the hotels were the quality of the equipment, performance and service. The jury presented 21 awards overall to hotels and restaurants in the three countries.

"Der große Bertelsmann Restaurant und Hotel Guide" will be published in the middle of December by the publisher 'wissen.de'.
