The wellness oasis on the third floor awaits you with a wide range of services for soaking up the sun, recharging your energy, fitness, relaxation, and for inner and outer beauty. Palais Coburg was designed in 1839 by architect Karl Schleps in Neoclassical style, and built from 1840 to 1845 by Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha atop the Braunbastei (Brown Bastion), a part of the Vienna city defences dating to 1555. It is nicknamed the Spargelburg (“castle of asparagus”) for its central portico with many freestanding columns.
