The Grand Hotel Panhans on the Semmering, opened in 1888, is the hotel that created the Semmering as a resort destination for Viennese high society. The ballroom, the valley-facing terrace, and the Belle Epoque facade with its towers remain the reason to stay. The Semmering is 1.5 hours from Vienna by train on the world’s first mountain railway (UNESCO listed), and the Panhans is 5 minutes from the station. Book the terrace table for dinner in summer. The hotel functions as the architectural argument for staying overnight rather than visiting as a day trip.
