Hotel Imperial Vienna
in the series The Most Famous Hotels in the World™
updated edition 2003/4

The author and the organisation The Most Famous Hotels in the World™, would like to especially thank Erhard Noreisch, General Manager of the Imperial Hotels Austria AG and Senior Vice President of Starwood Hotel & Resorts Central Europe.
It must be noted with greatest respect that the management of the hotel decided to accept historical facts rather than old legends and traditionally distributed myth.
We thank Thomas Schön, General Manager of the hotel, for his support. Petra Engl-Wurzer, in charge of Public Relations of the group, is coaching this ongoing project with all its updated editions with much professional care and personal enthusiasm.
We also thank Michael Hatzfeld, the former manager, Andreas Bienenstein, Heidar Fityani, Harald Hitner, Sylvester Huber, ­Andrea Konert and Philip S. Rosenstingl. We treasure the memories of the late Franz-Josef Macho.
Josef Prosek, the Financial Director of the group, gave us commercial, the chefs ­Stefan Hierzer and Siefried Kröpfl culinary lessons. Concierge Michael Moser deserves our gratitude for never getting tired answering all sorts of questions and being such a valuable companion in preserving the history of this unique hotel.
