Suite 401 - Pedro II - Emperor of Brazil

Emperor Pedro II of Brazil was a ruler with the soul of a researcher. He learned languages, read everything he could lay his hands on, and corresponded with scholars, artists and scientists all over the world. He was an enthusiastic photographer, and when Alexander Graham Bell presented his telephone in Philadelphia in 1876, Pedro was among the first to try it. He could hardly wait for the future.

Vienna and the House of Coburg were close to him, too: his mother, Maria Leopoldina, was a daughter of the Austrian emperor. His sister Maria II and his brother-in-law Dom Fernando II await you in Suites 209 and 210, and his daughter Leopoldina married a prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

His suite joins past and future, just as he did. Dark oiled oak floors and walnut panelling give the spacious living area the atmosphere of a scholar's study, where you gladly read late into the night. Patinated bronze carries history you may touch, textile wallpapers in soft earth tones recall the vastness of his homeland. Between them, the walnut kitchen with dark stone and black chrome adds a bold, modern accent, a touch of progress as Pedro loved it. On the 20 m² terrace, Vienna and its cathedral lie before you like an open book. Warm leather and bronze tones make the bedroom a place of calm after a day of discoveries, and the bathroom in dark marble and ribbed glass is its contemporary counterpoint.

In this way the suite becomes a bridge: from an emperor who loved history and could hardly wait for the future to guests who find both in one room.
