15 palace hotels that will make you feel like royalty

Actually in Vienna a better hotel, and also a palace, is the hotel im Palast Schwarzenberg. The Coburgs were an extremely minor German princely family until they married into the British Royal family in the mid-1800s and also got ahold of Belgium, the Schwarzenbergs had the guy who beat Napoleon in charge of Austria's armies in 1814. So it is a bit flashier. Presumably that is why one would want to stay in a palace, though a private "zimmern" or room in someone's home might be more pleasant and much cheaper. And of course in Vienna is also the famous Sacher, home of the torte of the same name. Culinary royalty if not geneological.
