Palais Palffy enjoys a prime location in the heart of the old town opposite the Hofburg, next door to the stables of the Spanish riding school. The building dates back to the fourteenth century, but has been remodelled and extended various times since. It also has a strong musical tradition. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart performed here as a child and is reputed to have premiered his The Marriage of Figaro to a private audience at the palace.

The new 550m2 Palffy Club now occupies two floors of this illustrious old building. The first-floor lounge bar is stocked with 700 spirits, and upstairs is the dance floor. On Thursdays Vienna's high flyers get together for the Network Club. On Fridays it's time for House and dancefloor, and the Jetlag Club comes to town on Saturdays. This fine new party location has luxurious feel. A 12 meter chandelier with 80,000 Swarovski crystals forms the centerpiece of the interior decorations, and the bar is set with thousands of miniature glittering gemstones.

Similar opulence awaits at Palais Eschenbach . This classic palace was built in 1872. Today its elegant rooms provide the setting for concerts, parties and club nights. Palais Auersperg - built in 1708 by leading Baroque architects Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt and Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach - has opened its doors for countless wild parties and celebrations in recent years.
