This is a term about the atmosphere/ambience of the restaurant. They are suggesting that the furnishings and the paintings will remind the guest of the cavalry (troops on horseback) during the period of Empire.

Vision is this case means not what you actually see, but what you can imagine. This is the sense of, I had a vision of what it must have been like -- I could imagine what it must have been like -- I could see in my mind what it must have been like.

More than simply the furnishing and paintings, the hotel site has this ambience due to its previous status as the Imperial Rididing School where I would assume that the cavalry did some of their training.

Oliver Simões: I agree with AllegroTrans. There's no contextual clue that this is in reference to the Austrian empire. Even though the Marriot property points to Austria, this is extra-contextualized, it's not in the original source that was presented.
