The world-famous Hotel Sacher is as much part of Vienna as the State Opera, the Ferris Wheel, the Fiaker, and the Lipizzaner Horses and is ideally located in the very heart of this fabulous city, opposite the State Opera and only five minutes from the Hofburg Imperial Palace. The hotel’s long history can be felt in every room, where modern comfort is ideally combined with the charm of the Habsburg monarchy. All rooms and suites are individually decorated with original oil paintings, precious rugs, and silk wall covering.

Here you are just a few steps away from the best Viennese shopping and cultural attractions; this is the place to stay in Vienna, where comfort, luxury, gastronomy, and service are the highest priority. No visit to the hotel is complete without sampling the famous Sacher Torte, whose recipe is still a well-kept secret.
