The Venue
In addition to the Habsburg Staterooms, the Albertina’s large outdoor terrace can be used for your event. The Albertina
palace stands imposingly on the Augustinian bastion, a part of the city’s old walled fortifications. Thus the terrace,
one of the most delightful in the city, is elevated high above street level, offering a spectacular view of the Vienna State
Opera, the Hofburg palace, the Burggarten park, the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Austrian National Library.

The Habsburg Staterooms
The Albertina’s Habsburg Staterooms are an outstanding example of 19th century Neoclassicism. The palace interior had
repeatedly undergone remodelling by the time architect Josef Kornhäusel was contracted in 1822 to redesign the living quarters
and the official reception rooms into a unique ensemble. The leading cabinet-makers, stuccoers and painters of the day were
employed to decorate the rooms. The luxury materials used included silk, rosewoods, crystal chandeliers and gold. Recently
restored to their former glory, the rooms evoke the ornate grandeur of the home of Archduchess Marie Christine, the favourite
daughter of Empress Maria Theresa, and her husband, Duke Albert of Saxe-Teschen, the founder of the Albertina’s art collection.
Gentlemen’s Wing and Ladies’ Wing
The staterooms are divided into two suites of rooms: the Gentlemen’s Wing on the Hofburg side of the palace, and the
Ladies’ Wing on the Vienna State Opera side. The rooms in the Gentlemen’s Wing are suitable for small-scale receptions
and dinners for up to 30 guests. The rooms in the Ladies’ Wing are available for large-scale events. The Spanish Apartments
are located in the Ladies’ Wing and can be used for daytime events and small-scale evening events. The combined use of
both wings enables guests to experience the full effect of a Neoclassical enfilade, in which doors connecting a sequence of
rooms are aligned to provide a through view.
