Concierge "The smart blend, balancing the best of fin-de-siècle Vienna and the new siècle, carries over into the rest of the hotel."
Jetsetter "Vienna charmer with bohemian history, a bold design and a fabulous bar and restaurant scene." Full review

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.
Travel + Leisure "1876 property opposite the opera house, popular for its old-world opulence, central location, and Pierre-Yves Rochon redesigned restaurant." Full review
DK Eyewitness "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

"The reception, with its dark-wood panelling, deep red shades and heavy gold chandelier, is reminiscent of an expensive fin de siècle bordello." Full review
Afar Magazine "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.

Michelin Guide "The Ambassador is one of the city's most venerable institutions. The style is resolutely traditional, although never at the expense of modern comfort."
Frommer's "It's no Bristol or Imperial, but it's quite posh nonetheless. The Ambassador couldn't be better located." Full review
Lonely Planet "Prices vary by season and demand, but even in May and September you can find well-priced rooms in the historic Ambassador." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Baroque architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach constructed this house in the late 17th century and in 1898 it was turned into a hotel... still one of Vienna’s most charming hotels."
Star Service "Located in the main pedestrian area, midway between the Parkring and Stephansplatz, not far from its modern nemesis, the superior DO & CO, this old-fashioned favorite is has seen better days." Full review
Fodor's "Franz Lehár, Marlene Dietrich, the Infanta Isabel of Spain, and Mick Jagger are just a few of the celebrities who have stayed at this old dowager (from 1866)." Full review
