HOTEL SACHER VIENNA - IT ALL BEGAN WITH THE SACHER TORTE

Updated: Nov 16, 2023

Since 1832, the name Sacher has stood for authentic Austrian luxury, outstanding local cuisine and unforgettable moments with personalized and excellent service.

With its outstanding location directly opposite the Vienna State Opera, Hotel Sacher Vienna offers the perfect starting point to explore the city - Albertina, Hofburg, Stephansplatz and the Spanish Riding School are all nearby.

In the beginning, came the cake: in 1832 Franz Sacher, an apprentice chef at the court of Prince Metternich, created what is probably the most famous cake in the world - the original Sacher Torte. To this day, it is prepared by hand with the utmost care according to the original secret recipe and has long been considered the "sweet ambassador of Vienna".

It was Franz Sacher's son Eduard who opened the Hotel Sacher in Vienna in 1876 and, together with his wife Anna Sacher, led it to international notoriety. Even back then, both domestic and international society enjoyed being guests at the Sacher.

"MADAME BUTTERFLY" SUITE WITH FINE MARBLE FLOORS AND A PRIVATE ROOF TERRACE

Today, the Hotel Sacher Vienna offers 152 rooms and suites, which were furnished by co-owner Alexandra Winkler in collaboration with French star designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. Among them are the two most elegant and largest signature suites "Madame Butterfly" and "Vienna Philharmonic Suite" on the Beletage or several exclusive suites with private roof terraces.

Precious marble bathrooms, the finest fabrics and exquisite interiors are not at odds with modern amenities and technical equipment at Sacher. All rooms have a modern "suite pad" and numerous services can also be used before arrival via a Sacher app. The app functions as a digital room key, for example, or helps with table reservations, room service orders, or booking spa treatments.

INDULGENCE IS A TOP PRIORITY AT HOTEL SACHER

The "Rote Bar" gourmet restaurant offers the finest Austrian cuisine with Viennese classics all day, while the "GrΓΌne Bar" gourmet restaurant constantly surprises with international and playful sophistication. The intimate all-blue hotel bar "Blaue Bar" is the ideal meeting place before or after a visit to the opera, a concert or for an after-dinner drink.

TRADITIONAL VIENNESE COFFEEHOUSE AMBIENCE WITH ORIGINAL SACHER CAKE

A visit to the famous CafΓ© Sacher, (where the Original Sacher Torte is served in a traditional Viennese coffeehouse atmosphere, in addition to small dishes, breakfast and coffee specialties,) is not to be missed during a stay in Vienna. For a snack or a slice of original Sache cake, the Sacher Eck with its collection of sweets is also an inviting place to linger and indulge yourself. And in the new Salon Sacher, you can let yourself be seduced by the inspiring twenties with exquisite delicacies and many long-forgotten cocktails.

Relaxing offers such as sauna, steam bath and fitness areas are available to hotel guests free of charge in the "Sacher Boutique Spa". In addition, there is a selection of exclusive treatments from La Prairie, Ligne St. Barth and the hotel's signature line "Time To Chocolate." External guests can also get away from it all with the "Day Spa" offer and enjoy some well-deserved pampering.

COMMENT:

When guests like Anna Netrebko, Queen Elizabeth II of England, Sharon Stone, Justin Bieber or Naomi Campbell are guests at the Hotel Sacher, it can only be a special place to feel good. However, the Hotel Sacher is also a tourist attraction overall - not least because of the cake - which is why it is not uncommon to encounter lines of people outside the door when visiting the coffee house.
