A Balcony with a Great Tradition: The balcony of the Imperial Suite is always the venue for waving to the crowd. It is a nice story, that England's Queen Elizabeth II is said to have been quite astonished when she learned that she would be staying in ‘an ordinary' hotel during her visit from 5 to 10 May 1969, and not in more appropriate accommodation. When she left the Imperial, every employee, from the manager to the valet, received a small gift. Her Majesty was obviously pleased. The reason was clear: the Austrian furniture depository, which handles all furniture from the imperial and republican eras, once again demonstrated its abilities in the art of interior decoration, transforming the Hotel Imperial's ‘princely' suite into a truly ‘queenly' one.
