The Bank Brasserie & Bar

The building that houses The Bank Brasserie & Bar is steeped in history like no other. The Am Hof address has always been one of the most historically significant locations in the city. After the Imperial Royal Ministry of War was demolished, between 1913 and 1915 Vienna’s first reinforced concrete building with a classical façade was opened at Am Hof 2 – as the headquarters of the Escompte-Gesellschaft from Lower Austria, a major bank in the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy. Most recently, the building served as the head office of Bank Austria UniCredit. Today the building is known as Park Hyatt Vienna, which opened in 2014.
