About this hotel
General information
Sacher Wien was founded in 1876 by Eduard Sacher, son of the man who created the famous Sachertorte. Set between the Vienna State Opera and the pedestrian Kärntner Strasse, it drew high society from the start: the Prince of Monaco, John F. Kennedy, Indira Gandhi, Queen Elizabeth II, Herbert von Karajan and Leonard Bernstein all stayed here. The hotel keeps its dignified, intimate character to this day.
Crystal, rich fabrics, antique furniture and original paintings set the tone throughout. Sacher Spa is known for its chocolate treatments, the restaurants and bars for their elegant rooms and cooking, and only the hotel’s own confectionery sells the original cake, still made to a secret recipe. Eight function rooms and a business centre serve meetings and celebrations, and weddings and honeymoon programmes can be arranged.
Location
The hotel is in central Vienna between the Opera and Kärntner Strasse, a short distance from St Stephen’s Cathedral and the Hofburg. Vienna International Airport is about 30 minutes by car.
