Sacher Hotel Vienna

Directly opposite the Vienna State Opera and next door to the Albertina Museum, on Kärntner Straße.

The elegant belle époque decor from the hotel’s founding days in 1876 is evident in the 149 rooms, which celebrate Vienna’s rich cultural past with original chandeliers, authentic works of historic art, and the finest damask, silk and marble fixtures. With a third of the rooms being suites, ranging from a size of 30sq m to a massive 175sq m, the Presidential Suite Magic Flute offers superlative luxury with three marble baths, exquisite antique furniture and fantastic views over Kärntner Straße and the Opera House.

A favourite among the locals, the Rote Bar serves the best Tafelspitz, a national dish of Austria consisting of beef in broth served with horseradish, in town. To enjoy the traditional Viennese specialities; you can either sit in the white and black floor-tiled glass conservatory or the grand, dark red damask dining room, that are well situated for either a sunny al-fresco lunch or a warm fine-dining evening accompanied by live piano music.

Located on the 5th floor, the hotel has a wonderful wellbeing and relaxation spa that has a wide range of soothing treatments, from the popular chocolate experience to the extravagant caviar facial. After you have worked up an apetite doing some retail therapy along the pedestrian streets, its time to return to the hotel for a slice of Vienna- taking the form of Sacher-Torte and Wiener Schnitzel. In the Cafe Sacher Vienna, you will be in for a real treat as you try the famous and very chocolately Sacher-Torte that has become an important symbol of not only the hotel, but also of the city.
