HOTEL SACHER WIEN
History & Story
In 1876, the Hotel Sacher Wien was opened by Eduard Sacher, son of the creator of the Original Sacher-Torte and soon achieved worldwide renown as a meeting place for the nobility, international high-society, politicians and artists. Today, Hotel Sacher is a Viennese institution, comparable to St. Stephan’s Cathedral or the Vienna Boys’ Choir. As the only luxury hotel in Vienna which is privately owned and run, it is important to the families Gürtler and Winkler maintain traditions and keep the unique and personal ambience with the old-world charm of the former Habsburg monarchy. Located directly across the Vienna State Opera and along Vienna’s main elegant pedestrian zone Kärntner Strasse, it is just minutes away from the Imperial Palace with its Spanish Riding School and from all other culturally important attractions. All 150 rooms and suites are individually designed and offer luxury 19th century feel combined with contemporary state-of-the-art comfort. Many rooms and suites provide magnificent views on the Vienna State Opera, Imperial Palace and Albertina Museum – the ones on the top floor even have private terraces overlooking the city. The exclusive Sacher Boutique Spa is located on the fifth floor and features sauna, aroma salt steam room, herbal bath, vital sensory showers, ice fountain and cosy relaxation areas. Treatments can be arranged in private spa suites with product labels of La Prairie and Ligne St. Barth. To indulge your love to chocolate without piling on any pounds, the hotel’s very own „Time-to-Chocolate“ bathroom and spa amenities provide unique experiences. Hotels guests can also enjoy complimentary access to the fitness room. The famous restaurant „Rote Bar“ offers authentic Viennese cuisine with live piano music and Opera views, whilst the fine-dining restaurant „Grüne Bar“ serves creative international dishes in the most unique atmosphere. The hotel bar “Blaue Bar” is well known as a sophisticated pre- or post-opera drink hot-spot. Certainly, hotel guests can also enjoy a piece of the Original Sacher-Torte at the „Café Sacher” or the « Sacher Eck », which still serves this culinary experience according to the closely guarded hotel recipe of 1832.

Fun Facts
In the beginning, there was the cake…
It was 1832 when Prince von Metternich instructed the 16-year-old apprentice Franz Sacher to create a cake for his discerning guests. The sweet masterpiece was to be made with chocolate, apricot jam, and whipped cream. Today, the Original Sacher-Torte stands as one of Vienna’s best-known symbols and – to quote the German daily Süddeutsche Zeitung – “is widely accepted as a currency of interpersonal relationships around the world.” Much like the hotel which the son of the dessert inventor opened years later and which is now one of the most renowned hotels in the world!
