The Kursalon Vienna at Stadtpark – built in the Italian Renaissance style – has been considered one of the most stunning and noble buildings in the city since its construction in the mid-19th century to today. With its magnificent halls and 1,000m² terrace, it is both an elegant and modern location for all kinds of events.
The history of the Kursalon
In around 1860, the Ringstraße was built and the Stadtpark (City Park) was opened during the reign of Emperor Franz Josef I. The Stadtpark was a green area designed in the English style. The Kursalon was also built, based on plans by Johann Garben – and was originally supposed to provide water drinking cures. However, shortly after its completion in 1867, it hosted the Johann Strauss’ first concert, which was a huge success. As a result, the Kursalon quickly became devoted to a different purpose: Dancing events and promenade concerts where the “high society” of that time could meet and gather.
