The way to Grand Ferdinand hotel

Where is the Grand Ferdinand located, and what is the fastest way to reach it by car?

The Grand Ferdinand is located directly on the Ringstraße: Schubertring 10–12, 1010 Vienna. This location places it right in the heart of the city. You can obtain a detailed arrival description from your starting point here.

Where is the hotel car park, and how much does parking cost?

For a carefree stay at the Grand Ferdinand, we offer a special service: valet parking. Drive your car to our main entrance, where we will gladly unload your luggage and then park your vehicle for you in the nearby Palais Corso car park. From there, we can retrieve your car at any time and as often as you wish. The service costs €50 per day.

Please inform us 30 minutes before your desired departure so that we can have your car ready. If you prefer to park yourself, you may of course use the Palais Corso car park. The “parking only” rate is €29 per day.

Are there EV charging stations in the car park?
