Almost too much excitement to bear

Some of the more perceptive among you may know that I like horses. Some of you may even be aware that I have liked them for a pretty long time, ever since I was a dreamy eyed girl living in Dandenong and hoping that the police paddocks would never move. So, it may not be that surprising to you to that Vienna has but one attraction for me, one attraction that made it the first place I ever wanted to see in Europe before I knew anything about anywhere else in the world. Yes, Vienna has culture,...

Vienna Palaces and City

Our day started early with a tour of Vienna...We saw the Hofburg Palace (over 3000 rooms), Vienna Opera House...Ringstrasse... the beautiful St. Stephen's Cathedral...inside very beautiful...contains Tomb of Emperor Frederick III (1415-93). The city has so many palaces...all only 4 stories tall. The king would only allow 4 stories...very symetrical....all buildings look different...some very ornate depending on when they were built. We saw Roman ruins in front of Hofburg Palace. Some of us we...

Dreams, Empires and Unfortunates

  The day had been warm and sunny. It was evening now and a strange fog seemed to settle in the streets. Ellen and I were having dinner at a restaurant in the Museum Quarter looking out at one of the world's most magnificent cities, Vienna. "There is a level of comfort I've come to truly enjoy in the civilized world." Ellen said. "Riding to work on the streetcar at home in Toronto" she continued, "is like taking a journey with the creatures from 'Night of the Living Dead'. Every trip there's ...

Sacher Torte and Vermeer

Hello to all... We have had a fantastic day in Vienna...we started to morning off buying Opera tickets for €40 for La Boheme (i know that spelling is right...) in great seats...so we are very excited for that this evening... We spent a few hours this morning at the magnificant Kunsthistorisches Musuem...unlike many of the art musuems of the world, this one was not a former palace turned Musuem (a la Louvre) it was commisend by the the Hapsburgs as an musuem to house their massive collect...

Vienna

Well, am in Cesky Krumlov but that will have to wait. Let's talk about Vienna! The flight from Hong Kong to London was long... and long (and Qantas was no better!) London was surprisingly warm and sunny. What a shame that I was stuck indoor. And what do you know, Vienna was wet and cold when I got in... Luckily it improved. I may get stoned here but I found Vienna fairly non-descript - very much like any big European city, except you can see the image of Sissi (one of the Austrian queens) and...

A perfect day being a Wiener

Up early to buy a train ticket for tomorrow. Korean girl thought I was Korean and talked to me in Korean. Turned out she spoke perfect English (she lived in California and NYC for a few years). She was looking for a hostel - I walked her to mine. Ran upstairs to use the can ... she was gone when I went back down. I saw her walking back to train station and chased her down. My hostel was full and she wanted to look for one closer to the south station where she was leaving from tomorrow. Told h...

Vienna City Day

We spent te day in the city today. Slept in just a bit as we are feeling petty tired and these beds are SO comortable!! Got to Schoengrunn Palace around 10am and took the "Grand Tour" whch shows you 40 of the over 1,000 rooms (a great place for Thanksgiving we think)! The decoration was gorgeous if not even ovr-the-top! It MAY have out-don Versailles. When we finished our tour, gauked at the VERY LONG ticket line, bought some gluhwhine and a bretzel, and walked around to the gardens. We were ...

Historical Traveler Reviews of Sacher Vienna

Fantasic holiday

from A TripAdvisor Member
The location of the Hotel Sacher Wien is superb with the opera house right across the street and most of the major sights within walking distance.

We enjoyed 3 nights in one of the new suites on the nearly built top floors with a breathtaking view over Vienna. Elegant, luxurious and highly stylish are the best words to describe this accommodation. To be the first guests to stay in the room makes us very proud and we will never forget this wonderful experience. We would definitely stay there again at the earliest opportunity to see the new spa area and enjoy the special chocolate treatments.

The Sacher lives up to its reputation as one of the most famous hotels of Europe.

Overall, it was a great stay, and we are looking forward to returning.

Better than their torte

from A TripAdvisor Member
We spent four days at the Sacher. We made reservations through an "internet special" (re: cheap) and were rewarded with an excelent corner room on the third (Europe) floor, overlooking the Stats Opera and the Winter Palace. The service was exceptional and friendly. The concierge even arrainged for dinner at another hotel. Having stayed at hotels in other European cities , I would repeat this one if in Vienna again.

Don't go here!

from A TripAdvisor Member
We did not stay here, but wanted to go for the legendary SacherTorte.

The staff were very rude and looked down on us because we were not Austrian.

As soon as they knew we were English they sent us round the corner to the "Tourist Cafe" - these were her words!

We wanted to sit in the nice bar/lounge not the nasty busy tourist cafe there was plenty of room but she said they were full- charming! so we walked out.

Go to DEMEL instead - they are much nicer and the cakes there are out of this world.

Hotel Sacher are trading on an old reputation and unfortunately do not seem to care how they treat the people who are there to keep them in business.

Very Grand

from $savemoney$
The hotel was very grand. The sacher torte was very good. The service was excellent. The location was great.

One of the best in Europe

from A TripAdvisor Member
I have stayed all over Europe and at one other hotel in Vienna (Bristol). This is one of the best hotels in all of Europe. The rooms are all redone within the last year, very well done! The location cannot be beat and the service is first class. Also, Sacher Torte is awesome.

Construction challenges, not ready for occupancy

from A TripAdvisor Member
We went to the Hotel Sacher April 6th and were assured it was ready for occupancy in spite of construction. They are NOT ready and we recommend you avoid the hotel until they have completed the work.

We checked out after one night (instead of 5) and moved to the Hotel Bristol a block away. It was a lovely hotel and we would recommend anyone stay there who is considering the Sacher.

The staff at the Sacher tried their best and gave us a Sacher Torte as a gift, but it was discouraging to pack and unpack unnecessarily.

Be sure you know what you are getting into until they are finished!

Loved the Sacher

from TERRI SCHWARTZ
I traveled to Vienna in October and could not have found a hotel with a better location. The rooms were wonderfully appointed and the service very attentive. The concierge got us fabulous box seats for 2 concerts. The restaurant in the hotel was very formal and very European - I loved it. The walls in the breakfast room are mirrored and they reflect the beautiful crystals in the hanging chandeliers. I would definitely return to this hotel!

Elegance Personified

from A TripAdvisor Member
The Sacher lives up to its reputation as one of the grand hotels of old Europe. The location is superb with the opera house right across the street and most of the major sites within walking distance. The staff looks after you, and does not expect constant tipping. Service is looked upon as courtesy and graciousness, and you will never, ever open a door. You are made to feel like a Hapsburg princess or even the Empress Sissie herself. The head concierge at the Sacher is a bit of a magician who can get "impossible" tickets for you at the last minute, and do battle with airlines to track down missing luggage. The rooms are elegance personfied. Each room has original fine oil painting, as does the entire hotel, beautiful crystal chandeliers, wonderful views, and the most comfortable beds. I liked my room so much that I remodeled my own bedroom at home on the one I had at the Sacher. The food is superb as is their champagne, and of course the Sacher Torte is delicious! The champagne breakfast is divine and fit for an emperor (one did build this hotel). Don't miss the Sacher Museum with pictures of all of the celebrities and royalty who have stayed here. When you arrive you'll even receive a welcome gift! Go at the right time of year, and this hotel-given what you get- is more than fairly priced.

The best

from Desi13
Stayed at Hotel Sacher on May 3 and 4, 2004 after leaving The Imperial after one night. The Sacher is the classiest, most comfortable hotel that we have ever stayed in. It has old-world charm with friendly

competent service. The best location in the city. Its was expensive and worth it.

Old World Excellence

from A TripAdvisor Member
The Hotel Sacher is one of the most elegant and interesting hotels in the world. Having traveled frequently throughout Europe, the Hotel Sacher ranks near the top of the world's great hotels. Small, elegant, in the heart of old Vienna. We did not have a car, and never used a taxi. We walked everywhere. The Hotel Sacher is close to everything Vienna has to offer, and Vienna is a great city (as beautifual as Paris, but much more intimate).

The staff and concierge at the Sacher were supreme. 4/4 dinner recommendations exceeded our high expectations. The beautiful opera house is literally across the street. Perfect!
