Hotel Sacher

Top choice in Vienna


Stepping into Hotel Sacher is like turning back the clocks 100 years. The lobby's dark-wood panelling, original oil paintings, deep-red shades and heavy gold chandelier are reminiscent of a fin-de-siècle bordello. The smallest rooms are surprisingly large and suites are truly palatial. Extras include a taste of the cafe's famous Sacher Torte on arrival.

The state-of-the-art spa complex has a herbal sauna, an ice fountain and a fitness room.
