"The Ambassador is one of the city's most venerable institutions. The style is resolutely traditional, although never at the expense of modern comfort."
Frommer's
"It's no Bristol or Imperial, but it's quite posh nonetheless. The Ambassador couldn't be better located."

"Baroque architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach constructed this house in the late 17th century and in 1898 it was turned into a hotel... still one of Vienna’s most charming hotels."
Star Service
"Located in the main pedestrian area, midway between the Parkring and Stephansplatz, not far from its modern nemesis, the superior DO & CO, this old-fashioned favorite is has seen better days."
