Live like royalty

VIENNA’S opulent Schoenbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the imperial Habsburg family, will open its doors to tourists looking to spend a night like Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Sisi.

An apartment — once reserved for close relatives of the court — can be booked from April 30 at a starting price of 699 euros (US$960) per person per night. The two-bedroom flat with kitchen and dining room sleeps four.

Those looking to experience full imperial grandeur — and who have the cash to spare — can reserve such amenities as a personal butler, a horse-drawn carriage and an in-suite chef.

The late 17th-century rococo palace was once the secondary residence of the Habsburg monarchy, which ruled the Austro-Hungarian empire until 1918.
