Quite a European collaboration, then, though the emphasis is on Viennese makers and creators. The hothouse flowers of the salon-a nod to the city’s art nouveau Palmenhaus-were painstakingly painted by Viennese artist Marie Hartig, while the rooftop mural is by enigmatic graffiti artist KNARF. Follow the corridor to the left of the check-in desk and you’ll see a number of artfully customized historic postcards and prints of Petersplatz-they belong to a former resident of an apartment here, who kindly donated his collection after moving out. Soho Farmhouse designer Alexander Waterworth is responsible for the bedroom interiors, while Paris-based Atelier27 has curated the distinctive artworks that decorate the walls. But the structure itself dates from 1835, a former bank comprising four buildings huddled around a courtyard, which Rosewood has gradually transformed, adding two more floors at the top designed by Viennese design studio Kroenland (which also worked on the new Motto hotel). Listen carefully and you may hear the high notes of an aria floating around the place (this is Vienna, after all, and even the street buskers studied at a conservatoire): Once upon a time, Mozart lived in an apartment at this address and composed The Abduction from the Seraglio here.

Crowning the top of the building’s architectural trifle-and coming as quite a surprise after the hush of the rest of the rooms-is a bustling brasserie with angled windows onto the cityscape and an outdoor grotto planted with a how-on- earth-they-get-it-up-here pine tree.

Those statues peering down from surrounding buildings seem to nod their approval. Right on Petersplatz and almost nudging the copper-green dome of St Peter’s Church, with horse and carriages clip-clopping past, this is a neoclassical ooomph of a building, reimagined and embellished, more than holding its own amid the rococo and Art Nouveau treasures of Vienna. Oh, and Vienna’s the most livable city in the world, according to The Economist-and the quality of life inside the Rosewood is very good indeed. It’s quite the grandest opening here in almost a decade. The group has a knack for acquiring landmark buildings (its second London hotel will be set inside the former American Embassy) and this is no exception: a much-loved 19th-century bank right in the heart of Vienna’s 1st district, close to many of the city’s most famous sights.
