The Hotel Sacher Wien

Tradition combined with modern spirit

In 1876, Eduard Sacher founded the Hotel Sacher in Vienna. Soon after its creation, the Sacher became a world famous meeting point for politicians, artists and the aristocracy.

Eduard Sacher was the son of the creator of the Original Sacher-Torte, a unique chocolate cake. Since 1934, the hotel has been run by the Guertler family, which is very intent on maintaining the hotel’s old tradition.

A simple glance from its windows confirms the hotel’s spectacular location. It is directly in the city centre, close to the pedestrian shopping area Kärntner Straße, opposite the Opera House and only a short walk away from St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Hofburg Imperial Palace and the elegant Ringstraße, a road which boasts an impressive array of Vienna’s major sites, such as the Burgtheater Imperial Court Theatre and the City Hall.
