Hotel Imperial, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Vienna Dining Guide
The permanent named lineup is Café Imperial Wien, Imperial Bar Wien and Restaurant OPUS. Café Imperial is the daily all-day restaurant and coffeehouse; Imperial Bar runs from morning into the night. OPUS remains an official hotel restaurant on its dedicated site, Marriott history and event material, but the current hotel dining index omits it. As of August 30, 2026, OPUS was closed: its site used both “provisionally closed” and a dated summer-break notice through September 1 with reopening announced for September 2. Afternoon Tea, Champagne Sunday Brunch, 24-hour in-room dining, private dining, carriage rides and the Epicurean Moment are services or experiences, not additional venues. Their timing and availability must follow the exact dated official page; the hotel’s own sources conflict on tea days and have not published current autumn brunch dates.
Before you book dinner
- Café Imperial is daily 07:00–23:00, with breakfast 07:00–11:00 and buffet-only service at weekends and on public holidays.
- Imperial Bar is daily 09:00–01:00; its youth curfews and age-based alcohol rules should be checked before an evening family visit.
- OPUS is absent from the hotel dining index but remains on current official venue and hotel material. It was closed on August 30, with reopening announced but not yet verified.
- OPUS publishes normal Wednesday–Sunday evening service and Monday/Tuesday closure; its site prints two different contact numbers.
- Afternoon Tea hours agree at 12:00–16:30, but official sources conflict between daily, Saturday-only and weekend-only service. Reconfirm the booked day.
- The dedicated tea page says reservation required, while Marriott dining adds a 24-hour notice request.
- The brunch page’s weekly wording is tied to dates ending May 31, 2026; autumn dates were still forthcoming as of August 30, 2026.
- Only the Tuesday Epicurean Moment is explicitly complimentary for hotel guests. Other food, drinks and private experiences are not standard inclusions.
- No current in-room menu, delivery charge, minimum order, child menu or overnight subset is published despite confirmed 24-hour availability.
- Salon Imperial dinner capacity conflicts between 60 in narrative copy and 64 in the banquet table; preserve both figures when planning.

Bars
Imperial Bar Wien
Daily 09:00–01:00
Afternoon Tea is timed 12:00–16:30, but official sources conflict between daily, Saturday-only and weekend-only service; reserve and reconfirm the day.
24-hour in-room dining
The hotel names Wiener Schnitzel, Tafelspitz, apple strudel and Imperial Torte, but publishes no current menu, delivery charge, minimum spend or overnight subset. It is a service, not a restaurant.
Café Imperial Wien
Viennese coffeehouse, Austrian classics, pastries and internationally influenced evening dishes
Daily 07:00–23:00; breakfast daily 07:00–11:00
The everyday house restaurant serves Viennese coffee, Imperial Torte, Austrian dishes such as Wiener Schnitzel and Tafelspitz, pastries, lunch, dinner, drinks and a children’s menu. At weekends and on public holidays, breakfast is buffet-only with no à la carte service; weekday parties of six or more may also order only the buffet. Vegetarian dishes run throughout the day, and vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free and allergy accommodations are available on request. There is no special dress code, but bathrobes, swimwear and similar attire are not accepted.

Cocktails, Champagne, Austrian wine, spirits, bar snacks and larger dishes
Daily 09:00–01:00
The bar moves from a morning lounge to a late-night room for vintage Champagne, Austrian sparkling wine, regional bottles, signature and classic cocktails, nonalcoholic drinks, snacks and more substantial plates. Afternoon Tea is served here from 12:00–16:30 by reservation, but the official sources disagree over whether it runs daily, on Saturdays, or only Saturday and Sunday; Marriott separately requests 24 hours’ notice. Youth access is time-limited: under-14s may attend only with an adult and until 20:00, ages 14–16 until 23:00, and guests aged 16 or over until 01:00, with alcohol rules varying by age.

Fine dining with a vegetarian tasting option
Normal published hours Wednesday–Sunday 18:30–23:00; last seating 21:30; closed Monday and Tuesday
OPUS remains tied to Hotel Imperial through its official venue site, Marriott history and directory material, and current hotel event documents, even though the hotel’s live dining index lists only Café Imperial and Imperial Bar. On August 30, 2026, the venue was closed: the site said both “provisionally closed” and on summer break through September 1, with reopening announced for September 2. Treat reopening as unconfirmed until checked. Normal hours are Wednesday through Sunday evenings, with Monday and Tuesday closed. Dress is smart casual; a vegetarian tasting menu is available, and the venue may be hired exclusively. Two official contact sections print different telephone numbers.
