This is it: just big enough for a family, a few guests here and there and and around 500 household staff. Introducing a jewel of the former royal duo of Austria that invented the Viennese dream: a ridiculously large house majestically nestled in the upmarket 13th District, with a not so cute but incredible garden and an actual zoo with giraffes and elephants, ready to take your breath away. Dating back to the 17th century, the baroque masterpiece features 300 rooms. Just enough to flex in front of your enemies.
The estate also features the exquisite Gloriette, crowning the hilltop with panoramic views, where the royals had their morning routines, before morning routine was even a thing. But it is perfect for hosting grand soirées, millennials will love that as they enter their party-animal phase. In lonely moments the world’s oldest zoo will keep you company, offering a blend of nature and culture and super cute penguins with their little adorable feet. Schönbrunn’s gardens, a splendid example of landscape architecture, stretch across 160 hectares, presenting an idyllic backdrop for leisurely strolls, formal gatherings or your latest TikTok dance video.
Request a tour right now and follow the footsteps of Sisi and Franz Joseph – Austria’s it-couple of the day – who spent their summers at this beautiful place. With a little luck, you might find yourself looking for your imperial significant other while staying in this very, very special palace. Sorry, place. No, scratch that, we actually do mean palace.
Located in the now residential area of the rich and famous inviting you to go explore the houses of the lush and elegant district of Hietzing by long walks.
