Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has announced today that it will manage a luxury hotel and branded residences in Vienna, Austria that is scheduled to open in late 2023.
Mandarin Oriental, Vienna will be housed in a heritage building that originally served as the city’s commercial law court from 1912 to 2003.
