Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

2020 was not an easy year for any of us, and right now, with no ball season to celebrate, the Hofburg Vienna feels extremely unusual. But despite everything, a great deal has happened at our venue over the past twelve months. After all, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.

Ever efficient, the Hofburg Vienna was among the first locations to successfully host – small but perfectly staged – Covid-compliant events. And even once an effective vaccination becomes widely available, we will still have to live with testing, contact tracing and social distancing for some time to come, to help keep infection rates under control. With that in mind, we are already hard at work preparing for the events planned for the second half of the year. Scheduled to take place in our state rooms, they will be in full accordance with government regulations and recommendations – and many will have a distinctly hybrid flavour. So as you can see, the Hofburg Vienna is well set for the future.

Let’s go digital! Rather than being seen as just an interim solution to help us through the pandemic, hybrid formats will continue to be a way to add an extra dimension to events going forward. We can’t wait to start working on projects with our customers and partners again soon. Here’s to a successful year in 2021!

Yours sincerely,
The Hofburg Vienna team

Alexandra Kaszay
Managing Director
