#### Learn about the affluent Esterházy family as you tour the lavish rooms of this opulent palace.

Explore the historic Esterházy Palace to see its magnificent interior rooms. Stroll through stunning gardens and discover the history of the palace’s notable residents, including one of Austria’s most famous composers. Book tickets for exciting musical performances.

Take a guided tour to learn about the history of the palace and the Esterházy family. The palace was built beginning in 1720 for Prince Nikolaus Esterházy. Originally designed to be a hunting lodge, the palace ultimately cost 13 million Austro-Hungarian gulden to build, an extravagant cost even for one of the wealthiest families in the region.

The Baroque and Rococo palace has 126 rooms, many of which are gilded with real gold. See the palace’s hermitage, temples to Diana and Venus, Chinese dance house and puppet theater. Discover almost 620 acres (250 hectares) of French-styled gardens.

Head through the Courtyard of Honour to the main entrance, which features an intricate wrought-iron gate. Notice the courtyard’s statues, including depictions of cherubs and bearded men fighting beasts with ancient weapons.

See rooms decorated in a pseudo-Chinese style, a fashionable trend in the late 18th century. Walk among the carved pillars of the Sala Terrena, which features a heated marble floor. Look up at the ceiling to see Miklós Esterházy’s monogram in floral frescoes. Don’t miss the eye-catching fresco, called Glory of Apollo, decorating the ceiling of the nearby Banqueting Hall.

Find out if any interesting programs or events are taking place during your visit. Time your visit to coincide with the International Haydn Festival in the summer, a series of concerts with a focus on the works of composer Franz Joseph Haydn. Haydn lived at the palace for over 30 years and many of his pieces were performed for the first time in its Concert Hall.

Esterházy Palace is located just outside the small town of Fertőd, 17 miles (27 kilometers) east of Sopron. The palace is open Tuesday to Sunday and there is an entrance fee.

Gain insight into one Hungary’s most powerful historic families with a visit to this striking palace.

The rooms were really nice, staff was very accommodating. The rooms didn’t have phones to call the helpdesk, but they did have WhatsApp, which allowed you to communicate with them. The bar upstairs was amazing for late night drinks and good ambience.

The location is convenient and the hotel looks beautiful in the pictures. However, the room wasn’t cleaned to a sufficient level — I don’t think they ever did vacuum cleaning during the week we stayed there, which was obvious because the floor got quite dirty with fluff and dust. We could see mould in the bathroom, which is surprising considering that the hotel is quite new. Also, they have some issues with heating; therefore, it was cold in the room, which is critical in such cold weather as we had. We had to ask for additional blankets, and eventually they had to give us an additional heater. Lastly, we booked a Superior Double Room with a large bed, a sofa, and a table. There were pictures of this room that we saw and liked. When we arrived, they gave us a room that was missing half of this furniture and looked very different from the pictures. When I mentioned that the room didn’t look like the one we booked and didn’t have a table or a sofa, they immediately offered us the same room but with the missing furniture. Why they couldn’t do that straight away? Why did we have to have all those conversations? Because the room still didn’t look like the one that we booked, we were given a free upgrade to a Suite, which is nice. However, the first experience when we just arrived wasn’t too good, which is very disappointing, considering that you are tired from all the travelling. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful too.

Our stay at The Leo Grand in Vienna was excellent and very memorable. Check-in was friendly and efficient, and we were pleasantly accommodated earlier than the official check-in time. The room was spacious, elegant, and beautifully decorated. The handwritten welcome note, along with wine and cookies, felt genuinely warm and thoughtful. The complimentary minibar added extra comfort. We especially enjoyed the complimentary afternoon and late-evening service in the restaurant. Drinks, fruits, and desserts were elegantly arranged, creating a warm atmosphere with lovely Christmas vibes. Breakfast was superb. The menu offered a rich selection, the food was well prepared, and the service was fast and professional. One moment deserves special mention. We had an early flight and realized very late that we would miss breakfast. Mira honestly explained it was too late to request a breakfast box, which we fully understood. However, at around 5 a.m., after a quick check-out, she surprised us with a carefully prepared breakfast box including hot coffee, fruit, apples, and sandwiches. Her thoughtful gesture made a perfect ending to our stay. The hotel’s location is unbeatable, with many of Vienna’s highlights within walking distance. A few constructive suggestions. Assistance with luggage at check-in would be helpful, especially for guests with large suitcases. The bathroom and toilet are fully separated and not adjacent, which feels somewhat inconvenient.
