3 HISTORY Parkhotel Schoenbrunn was built in 1907 as a guesthouse for Emperor Franz Josef and can look back on a long and eventful history. Set out with us on a journey through time to explore Parkhotel Schönbrunn! In 1787, a waiter named Dick opened a snack bar opposite the Schoenbrunner Kaiserstöckl and Maria Hietzing church at the edge of the palace park, which had been created 30 years before. The customers at the snack bar included sightseers from the surrounding area. In 1817, the innkeeper Reiter von Hietzing purchased the snack bar and transformed it into an inn. In 1823, Ferdinand Dommayer took over the inn. In cooperation with architect Josef Leistler, it was then converted into a casino with a ballroom. It was in this newly established entertainment venue that Johann Strauss Snr and his contemporary Joseph Lanner premiered several of their works. On 15 October 1844, Johann Strauss Jnr made his debut at this very same place. After this first concert the humorous journalist Franz Wiest wrote the following prophetic words: Good night Lanner, good evening Strauss Snr, good morning Strauss Jnr. The inn along with its ballroom became one of the leading entertainment venues in town and was famous for its fantastic ball nights. After Ferdinand Dommayer had passed away, it became ever more difficult for his son to successfully manage the business, which was rather large by the standards of back then. He sold the casino to Paul Hopfer, a renowned restaurateur in Vienna, rescuing it from the prospect of demolition. Nonetheless, the casino could not be saved. On 3 February 1907, the last event took place and the casino was demolished. From 1907 to 1908, the Parkhotel Schönbrunn as we know it today was developed based on the plans of architect Arnold Heymann. It was comprised of a ballroom on the ground floor, a Viennese coffee house, several dining rooms and 70 guestrooms to guarantee the well-being of the hotel guests. As the architect s finances were rather tight, Emperor Franz Joseph I. agreed to finance the construction of the hotel based under two conditions: the hotel had to be built according to his wishes and had to be available as a guesthouse for him if necessary. The valuable historic paintings and portraits of the Emperor s family, which still embellish the hotel today, date back to this era. After the proclamation of the 1 st Republic in 1918, the imperial hotel was taken over by of Hopfner & Huebner.

4 In 1923, a fire broke out in the hotel. A year later, the entire hotel (much in need of renovation) was handed over into the ownership of the Huebner family. During the Second World War, the hotel served as a military hospital and from 1945 onwards as the officers quarters for the British occupying forces. On 20 March 1948, a bomb exploded close to the hotel and left many people injured. On 4 June 1954, Parkhotel Schönbrunn was re-opened after some extensive renovation and redevelopment work had been completed and it has since become an integral part of the Viennese hotel scene. From 5 January 1999 onwards, Parkhotel Schönbrunn has been run by Austria Trend Hotels & Resorts. Since April 2010, the hotel has been undergoing extensive general renovation work. Both the Huebner family and Austria Trend Hotels & Resorts are taking great care to ensure that the details dating back to imperial times are preserved.
