Hotel Sacher Wien

Hotel description
In 1876, Eduard Sacher founded the hotel Sacher in Vienna. He was the son of the creator of the original Sacher-Torte, a unique chocolate cake. Soon after its creation, the Sacher became a world famous meeting point for politicians, artists and the aristocracy. Since 1934, the hotel has been run by the GÜrtler family, who 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 Karnter Strasse, opposite the Opera House and only a short walk away from the St. Stephen´s Cathedral, the Hofburg Imperial Palace and the elegant Ringstrasse, a road which boats an impressive array of Vienna´s major sites, such as the Burgtheater Imperial Court Theatre and the City Hall.
