The honest take
Rosewood Vienna sits at Petersplatz, right in the old city, at $2,812 a night with a 9.4 rating from 701 guests. InterContinental Wien, a kilometre away near the Stadtpark, runs $1,033 with an 8.4 from 2,952 reviews. Both are five-star and neither listing shows the other lacking a facility, so this is a straight call on address, atmosphere and how much you want to spend on a night's sleep in Vienna. If budget is a real constraint, the InterContinental gives you a very competent five-star stay for a third of the price.
The look and the feel
Rosewood Vienna
Rosewood Vienna occupies the former Austrian Post Savings Bank complex and the Palais Erzherzog Eugen, a building with real weight and history, reworked into a hotel with the kind of restraint that costs money: stone, brass, deep carpets, rooms that don't shout. Petersplatz puts you directly beside St Stephen's Cathedral, in the pedestrian core of the Innere Stadt, so the street outside is cobbled, quiet at night, and about as central as Vienna gets. The public rooms read as considered rather than decorated, the sort of hush that comes from good materials rather than gilt.
Rosewood suits someone who wants a historic building, a cathedral-side address, and is not counting the cost.
InterContinental Wien by IHG
The InterContinental is a large, purpose-built modern five-star near the Stadtpark, closer to Vienna's Ringstrasse business and diplomatic quarter than to the medieval core. Restaurant Parlor and Café Vienna do the international-and-Viennese split you'd expect, and the Intermezzo Bar with live music in the evenings gives it a proper hotel-bar rhythm rather than a boutique hush. Rooms are described as modern with flat screens and digital TV, which reads as comfortable and current rather than atmospheric.
The InterContinental suits business travellers and anyone who wants a reliable five-star base near the Stadtpark without palace pricing.
Neither facility list shows a hard gap, so the InterContinental's cheaper rate mainly costs you the Petersplatz address and the sense of staying inside a historic palace rather than a large modern block.
Rosewood is the more beautiful place to be, simply because you're inside a converted Habsburg-era building steps from the cathedral rather than a well-run contemporary hotel by the park.
