In 1913, capitalism was booming, and the power of European transformation was surging. On the eve of the outbreak of World War I, in the heart of Vienna, a building laid the initial foundation stone. Two years later, the building was officially born, and the splendid appearance was solid and magnificent, as if it was a giant figure on his way chasing the fortune of wealth. The building was originally the office building of a large AustrianHungarian company, Lower Austrian Eskompte Gesellschaft, and soon became the bank‘s headquarters in the Empire, recording the tumult of money and ambition in troubled times.

A century passed quietly. The famous city bid farewell to the old empire, and after the war rose and fell, the iron curtain finally came to a halt. The Danube is still shimmering, and the golden hall is full of music, and the old building that has witnessed everything has become the closest nostalgic recognition to people in peacetime. In 2014, Park Hyatt chose this old bank headquarters for its first show in Austria, not only for the beauty of its surrounding monuments, but also for its heavy Vienna charm. The elegance and modesty of the Park Hyatt brand is exactly the same as that of this centuryold building.
