In 1876, Eduard Sacher founded the Hotel Sacher in Vienna. He was the son of the creator of the Original Sacher-Torte, a unique chocolate cake. Soon after its creation, the Sacher became a world famous meeting point for politicians, artists and the aristocracy. A simple glance from its windows shows the hotel’s special location. It is right in the city centre, close to the pedestrian shopping area, opposite the Opera House and only a tiny walk away from St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Hofburg and the elegant Ringstraße, a road which boasts Vienna’s major sites, like the Burgtheater and the City Hall. The elaborate art collection and antiques shape the atmosphere of the hotel and allow our guest to experience the traditional Viennese lifestyle. The character of the Hotel Sacher Vienna is forged by elegant furniture, selected antiques, precious materials, as well as our famous collection of paintings. Stylish materials lend each room its unique charm. At the Hotel Sacher Vienna, our guests have the opportunity to experience the genuine Viennese art de vivre.
