Rough Guide
"Grandiose, century-old flagship of the Austria Trend hotel chain, and preferred pad of visiting opera stars thanks to its proximity to the Staatsoper."
Star Service
"This hotel occupies an elegant, five-story corner fin de siecle building (erected in 1912) on a chic pedestrian street that is making its way out of the doldrums." Full review

Avoid the dark interior rooms and singles, which are small and plain, but beware the excessive street noise that emanates upward from the outside.

Despite how much there is to do and see in Vienna, many Sacher guests choose to spend a considerable amount of their time parked at the hotel.

"Ever since the Hotel Sacher was founded in 1876 it has been a Viennese institution, with guests ranging from emperors, diplomats and artists."
Frommer's
"The Sacher was built in 1876; and despite recent improvements, partial rebuilding, and renovations which added 40 new rooms and a deluxe spa, it still has an air of Habsburg-era glory." Full review

"Sacher is synonymous with luxury in Vienna. It’s the name of not just the hotel, but also Austria’s most famous cake, the delectable Sacher-Torte. " Full review

And be sure to enjoy the famous torte—it’s an essential Vienna treat.
Star Service
"This lavish lair feels like a pied-a-terre for one of the Hapsburgs." Full review

And although the rooms and hallways fascinate with a collection of more than 1,000 antiques and original oil paintings, it manages to avoid coming off as too pretentious—the fate of many of its peers in Europe.
