Palais Angerer

Hotel Regina - formerly Palais Angerer

The Palais Angerer is a palace on Roosevelt Square 15 in the 9th Viennese district of Alsergrund which today is the Hotel Regina.

history

The architect Emil von Förster built a residential palace in the neo-Renaissance style for Johann Angerer in the years 1876/77 on Maximilianplatz, today's Rooseveltplatz. Up until 1920 there was a beer hall on the ground floor of the house. Georg Kremslehner converted the building into a hotel from 1907. In 1913 the architect Cesar Poppovits created a cellar in the basement, which is now used as a banquet room. During the Second World War, the house served as a hospital and was confiscated by the Americans after the war. After their departure, they were converted back into a hotel. During the renovation of the main facade in 2017, it was covered with an over 600 square meter installation of an adapted copperplate engraving from 1877, which could be seen for three months.
