Hotel Review: Hilton Vienna Plaza – Complimentary Upgrade to a Penthouse Room! Executive Lounge and Breakfast Review

I often find myself longing for Vienna every autumn. The last time I visited was in 2010, and after 14 years, I finally had the chance to return—this time in the very season I had always hoped to experience it, thanks to a work trip. During this visit, I stayed at two of Vienna’s most iconic Hilton hotels, and I’m sharing both stays in a series of reviews. In my previous post, I wrote about Hilton Vienna Park (you can read that review here), and in this article, I’ll take you through my stay at Hilton Vienna Plaza, including the complimentary upgrade experience, room details, Executive Lounge, and breakfast.

Review: Hilton Mallorca Galatzo

Review: Hilton Mallorca Galatzo

The hotel I really wanted to stay at in Mallorca was the Hilton Mallorca Galatzo. A few years ago, the previous Hilton withdrew from Mallorca, which was a shame, but thankfully they reopened in another location in 2022.

In Greece, I have been to Mykonos, Santorini, and other islands in the Cyclades, as well as Cyprus and Malta.

Review: Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

Review: Hilton Edinburgh Carlton

Conveniently located just minutes from Edinburgh’s main Waverley Station is the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton. The hotel is a grand, turn-of-the-20th-century building, which originally housed a department store, and sits at the southern end of the North Bridge. Although we only realised that the hotel was undergoing renovations when we arrived, the friendly staff at the front desk were working hard to ensure there was no disruption to guests. I am so excited to return once the renovations are complete: the works comprise a new, expanded lobby and will extend the total room count to almost 300. We arrived in the early afternoon by train and enjoyed the short walk to…

Review: Hilton Sydney

Review: Hilton Sydney

Leaving Hong Kong behind, we headed for Sydney where it was still late summer. It was an overnight flight, but since I had spent a few nights in Hong Kong, I wasn’t too tired upon arrival at Sydney Airport after a safe seven-hour flight. I had already adjusted to the time difference in Hong Kong, and the temperature in Hong Kong was almost halfway between London and Sydney, so I was able to adapt to Sydney easily.
