Book the Hotel Sacher Wien with VIP Benefits

The Hotel Sacher Wien in Vienna is one of the grandest and most famous hotels globally, with a reputation that has survived many generations. Initially opened in 1876 by Eduard Sacher and still privately owned, the Sacher family and their hotel is part of Austria's capital's history and soul.

Hotel History

Anna Sacher made it fashionable with a subtle business mind and extrovert personality, building its fame and appeal around the legendary cake concoction, Sacher Torte. Moreover, her management and creative renovations attracted nobility, royalty, intellectuals, and artists worldwide. However, her support of impoverished aristocrats led to bankruptcy.

Nonetheless, the Gurtler-Winkler families who took over the hotel retained links to the Sacher family. They later acquired the sister hotel in Salzburg, restoring the Sacher name.
