A legendary hotel and bar. We snooped around all the celebrity pictures and found Nicky Cage in Reception charging his phone. The pictures span decades and everyone has stayed here. We scored a table for two in the bar when we walked in. All the others were reserved. It's a tiny ornately decorated space with an extensive cocktail menu, we opted for a beer and a Sacher Martini (a liquid homage to the torte. If you like apricot you will love it. There were lots of complimentary nibbles and the olives were so special we ate them all. Our bill was $26 - a bargain for quality of drinks, service and ambiance. Don't miss it as a treat. read more

The Hotel Sacher Cafe has two sections, ground floor and first floor. Follow the velvet carpet up to first floor to enjoy cafe and Sachertorte cake in a grandeur environment with a large chandelier to embody the imperial glamor. The Einspänner coffee and Sachortorte chocolate cake were both great. The cafe is definitely worth a visit to enjoy the imperial glamor atmosphere. read more

The Sacher opened in 1876 and is a beautiful and historic hotel in Vienna. The café is decorated in their signature rich red color and is a great place to try a slice of the famous "Sacher Torte". U.S. President John F. Kennedy, Anna Netrebko, Queen Elizabeth II of England, Sharon Stone, Justin Bieber and Naomi Campbell all stayed here. read more

We were excited to visit the 'bar' for a drink on a Saturday night around 7:30 and the place was almost empty. The bar only sat about 6 chairs and was in a dimly lit small room with no windows. A gent at the door was surprised we had not made reservations (even though the place was almost empty) and offered a table if we would agree to "be out in 30 minutes". I didn't like his tone so I politely said "no thanks" and left. Lots of little red sitting rooms with red carpet and wallpaper and nice chairs but desperately in need of updating. So the 'bar area' is definitely 'underwhelming' but I didn't get a chance to try their famous chocolate cake (which I do plan to order on line). Go for the cake (but not the little 'bar') read more

Yelp Review 2023 #267: Getting a reservation at Cafe Sacher's original cafe on the first floor of Hotel Sacher is pretty difficult unless you're a hotel guest. And that's the main selling point for staying at this hotel. There are plenty of hotels in Vienna. I did some hotel hopping while I was there - from a cheap hotel close to a train station, a middle-priced hotel, and the opulent Hotel Sacher. Different price points = different experience and ambience. Room rates start at $450+ euros/ night up to the thousands depending on when you're staying (tip: t's cheaper if you stay on a Thursday). Check in and check out process we're a breeze. The hotel staff is very professional and proper. And they were able to get me a table at Cafe Sacher despite the website stating they're full. The room is luxurious and you wouldn't want to leave - and I kind of don't like that. I have things to see, places to go, activities to do, and things to eat. I don't want to hang out in a hotel room all day! There's a chandelier over your comfy bed, and a few nice touches here and there. The bathroom has marble floors and walls, a tub and a shower, and toiletries. The mirror has a small TV screen which was something I wasn't expecting for a hotel with much history. It's an older hotel but not outdated. Older hotels tend to have a funk - a smell that lets you know they've seen a lot - and I don't like that. Not here though. It's centrally located. It's close to tram stops, a very quick walk to the Opera House and Stephenplatz, and lots of restaurants, shops and museums nearby. read more

The decor is elegant and the service was exceptional. I had the weiner snitzel and it was delicious my wife had the beef which she was not happy with. The beauty of the restaurant was matched by the excellent service. There are several restaurants associated with this establishment but the one we ate lunch in was the Rote Bar which is decorated in red velvet. read more

I am American and a group of 5 of us wanted to try the infamous Sacher torte from the birthplace place but had only wanted to order two. When we ordered two the staff was rude saying we each had to order something since we took up two tables even though there was plenty of tables open. We had the waitress leave for a second for us to decide so we added one more item and again she was rude but let us put our order in. when the torte came out it was dry, not very chocolately, and the whipped cream was not sweet literally just whipped up cream. If you are looking to try a sacher torte in Vienna do NOT go to the sacher cafe because the bad torte was €10 and the waitstaff is rude. There are plenty of other places that sell the torte for half the price. read more

Absolutely the best experience in the ideal location in Vienna and walking distance to the Museums, Crown Jewels, Lippizaner stallions, & shopping. This historic hotel was exquisite in service from all the staff. We were treated like royalty and given all the upgrades connected to our reservations thru Platinum American Express membership. Our suite was truly magnificent. The cuisine at the hotel was delicious and perfectly prepared. The famous Sacher Torte was amazing!!! We even took one to our friends in Zurich and the loved it. I will definitely choose this hotel again in the future! read more

This is a review of the cafe only, not the hotel. We waited in line for almost an hour, which is probably much less than those behind us as the line began to reach the corner of the block. The line moved often and the wait was worth it. When we finally entered we realized that the staff was very much limiting the number of tables sat, since with a line to the end of the block there were only 1/2 the tables with people our entire time in the cafe. The menu if pretty vast with drinks, breakfast fare, and full meals. We stuck with a mid-morning coffee and pastry snack and very much enjoyed our time here. The coffees were well made and the pastry was delicious. The claim to fame is the Sacher-Torte, which was dense and flavorful, with the apricot jam incorporated into the chocolate cake, creating a clean, fruity bite. The strudel was also good. Clearly a tourist trap but still a good experience. read more

Hotel Sacher Wien - Iced coffee with Bourbon Ice Cream, Latte, Torte, and Strudel - Hotels Near Me - Vienna, 9

As far as elegance, this hotel is a top notch hotel. The history is very prevalent and it is very cozy. I enjoyed my stay here with the rooms that are very spacious and have the modern technological advances such as key fob room entry, tv screen in bathroom mirror, and heating/AC. The staff is very attentive and housekeeping was very nice. The great rain shower and bath tub was a pleasure. The afternoon fruit trays and chocolates are also a pleasure. I enjoyed the mini-bar that was free for non-alcoholic drinks such as Red Bull, Fanta, coke, coffee, and water. The things that were least pleasing were the 44 euro breakfast, the out of place TV on the minibar, and the two twin beds pushed together with two separate comforters. The room I had did not have a view and the only thing I could see out the window was the roof of the lobby. The last great measure was the free Sacher Torte they gave me for my week there which was very nice. read more

I almost didn't go to this location for the famed Sacher Torte because of my tourist blah blah instincts but I couldn't help wanting to see the velvety and over-the-top interior with its chandeliers and educational menus (seriously, I read this thing from cover to cover!). No one can deny the hotel is beautiful or pricey but who can argue with the source of one of the best cakes I've ever dove my fork into? First, the thick icing on top (more like a layer of fudge) followed by fluffy mild cake, then a subtle cherry-like filling and one last layer of "fluffy mild cake." Two, please? The waitress was extremely hospitable and didn't react a bit when my order was simply the cake. She brought me a complimentary water in case if the cake was too rich without liquid reinforcements. The interior room in which I was seated was just as beautiful as I had expected - and filled to the rim with tourists - as expected. Bottom line is: that cake. That cake. That cake. Note: they deliver internationally in a charming wooden box for a pretty penny. 4,90euro for one slice = estimated $6.40US read more

Such a wonderful hotel to start our honeymoon! Beautifully decorated, amazing all you can eat breakfast, beautiful rooms, great hospitality from the staff, knowledgeable concierge, and amazing spa! We went out to dinner our first night and came back to a huge Sacher Torte in our room- what a treat! Clarissa, at the Sacher Spa, was so polite and gave one of the best massages I've ever had! They had excellent steam rooms and my husband was able to relax in the spa while I received my massage. The hotel is located right in the heart of the city, with so many different venues to walk to- I would recommend this hotel to everyone! read more

The staff, the food, the room, absolutely beautiful. Everything is perfect and classically designed. I had a wonderful dining experience in the Rote Room where I had Beef Carpaccio and Wiener Schnitzel vom Milchkalbsrücken and loved it. A very nice, proper atmosphere whilst maintaining a very comforting atmosphere. The hotel staff - everybody from the bellmen, everyone at the front desk, to the maids and the handymen. The room was clean, wonderful for views out of the window, pretty much anything you could ever ask for out of a hotel room. Could not recommend staying anywhere in Wien more highly. read more

Great location, very nice room. Service is spotty. Staff seemed surprised by what is in the minibar, and there are no prices for alcoholic beverages. Breakfast is both ordering anything special, as well as a buffet, which took time to figure out ourselves. Music system remained a mystery unsolvd by me or staff. Despite a nice tip to bellman, his promised ice never returned. Turndown service is well after 9 PM. Bathroom mirror TV out of order. Batteries dead in TV remote. We went at Christmas. We ate the five course men with wine with each. No seating for lobby for Christmas Eve concert, as every seat was reserved. Be aware that without a reservation, there will be no seats at the bar, either. The food was great and the wait staff friendly and attentive, except when occupied by some manager calling for an extended huddle, during which diners get ignored. An update: It got worse. I had to knock off another star: 25 minute delay in opening the dining room on Christmas. We were asked to take a seat in the bar, where there were no seats. Hotel staff could not deal with an alternative, then they could not find our reservation. They apparently had differently sorted printouts and needed to look line by line. Front desk could not navigate the hotel computer system. The apologized nicely, but said they had not been trained on it. Then a scrum for seating with various guests pushing and getting nasty. Hair in the breakfast sausage. Guest sceaming in the lobby that she booked some tickets for an event, and the concierge appeared clueless. We tried to book a hotel car for departure the day before and were waved off with "just get a cab". Upon checkout, we were told to have the doormanhail us a cab, except after waiting 15 minutes, we could find no doorman. Concierge looked befuddled by this. We hailed our own cab. Every manager we saw looked at his feet when they saw a customer. No manager ever came by our table(s) to check in. They do not ask if everything is OK at checkout; they probably do not want to hear the answer. Management should all be fired. I think staff might do a better job without them.

The Sachs-torte here is absolutely ridiculously delicious. It was one of the best desserts I've ever put in my mouth, and certainly the best chocolate cake. The chemical reactions in my brain while eating this cake were unparalleled, and I don't even normally like chocolate cake at all. Go here if you're in Vienna. You won't regret it... The espresso was also pretty great, the staff was very kind, and the decor of the hotel/restaurant was beautiful. read more

You haven't really been to Vienna unless you stop by for a piece of cake at Hotel Sacher Wien! I loved their signature chocolate cake!! It was invented by Franz Sacher, dating back to 1832! The interior of the cafe is gorgeous and classy. Service was excellent. There are a wide variety of chocolate cake sizes and different packaging for you to purchase. Great for a gift or souvenir. We chose "Size II", 19 cm, which is a good portion for 4-6 people to share :) I'd recommend pairing this cake with a nice cup of coffee (no cream, no milk, no sugar!) The cake is really sweet. A bitter coffee is perfect with it :D read more

I was introduced to the Sacher hotel for the first time in Salzburg and I had an amazing experience there so I figured my experience would be the same if not even better at Sacher in Vienna.I had such a wonderful time staying at Hotel Sacher, The entire staff really care about your experience so they do everything in their power to make sure you are comfortable and that your accommodation is up to your standard. Sacher in Vienna Has a lot of things to offer like the blue bar which has a lot of character and great tasting drinks, the Sacher cafe which is a different vibe with many tasty treats and of course the fabulous green room where you can have dinner! My friend and I found so many different things to do at the hotel that we hardly got the chance to go out into Vienna to see the city! That's just how charming it is! Lol!I like the fact that it's rightI like the fact that it's right in the heart of Vienna. Standing right across from the famous opera house.Breakfast is also really great! I loved that there are a lot of selections of fresh juices!I stayed in the new Philharmoniker corner suite which had just been newly renovated and it has perfect views of the opera house and the city center.The rooms are fully equipped with everything you need, if you need to request an iron no problem. Ironing is a big thing for me so I always have to have an iron in the room.Also note: They also offer private shuttles to the airport which is very convenient and at a great price! Hotel Sacher is a festive experience one should discover at least once! I Will always stay at Sacher when I am in Vienna or Salzburg! read more

Let me preface this review with the statement that the famed Sacher Torte at the cafe makes me go into spastic fits of delight and it is by far my favorite dessert on earth. The hotel itself was founded in 1876. it is a piece of luxurious history that is a wonderful place to stay when in Vienna, nothing is overlooked when you are here. The luxury and perfect service greets you as you enter. Great authors, designers, presidents, actors and musicians stay here so you never know who you may run into. The cafe itself is my favorite part for the obvious reason. I was brought for my birthday to sample this deliciousness. My in-laws really know me well because having a coffee with a Sacher Torte was the best birthday gift ever. The torte is a chocolate cake that is more dense than the fluffy ones we are used to in the USA, it has a thin layer of apricot, and a European chocolate frosting that just melts in our mouth. It is served with a dollop of real whipped cream that beautifully offsets the cake. It is the ambrosia of the gods. Of course I took a beautifully packed Torte with me to take home and on occasion will find one shipped to me from people who love me. Yes you can order this little piece of heaven online! read more

My mother-in-law doesn't like chocolate at all... and took one look at my Sacher Torte sitting in it's beautiful wooden box and immediately wanted a slice. After tasting its moist chocolate cake with apricot jam filling and delicate creamy chocolate fondant-like icing, my mother-in-law now declares that she is in love. With chocolate cake. But only Sacher Torte. After living in Munich for 8 years and going to Cafe Sacher for treats when we visited my aunts and uncles in the area, it was a huge treat to receive a boxed cake sent straight from Vienna to my doorstep in Burbank California. Whether you're there in person or thousands of miles away, Sacher Torte is legendary. read more

Jill at check in was excellent and quite honestly, I was a little cranky. She was polite and helpful. The concierge desk is very helpful and the suite is gorgeous! Great location. Near museums and things to do. Bell service and cafe service is good too. Nothing not to love about this place! read more

This is the home of the famed Sacher Torte! Not only is Vienna famed for classical music and apple strudels but the Sacher torte is a spectacular confectionary, worthy of a trip to Europe by itself. A charming location, right in the heart of Vienna, this place will not disappoint! read more

The Sacher torte, as I recently discovered, is a Viennese classic. Hotel Sacher is home of the original Sacher torte, a beautiful chocolate cake with a cocoa coating and the Sacher seal on top. I'm not sure where to start - the cake's interior is so moist and crumbly, which plays a nice contrast against the ganache-esque texture of exterior. The best part about the torte was the flavor. It isn't overly sweet like most chocolate cakes. Instead, there is a slight hint of bitterness, like the type that you will find in dark chocolates. Mmmm. read more

Made this city one we must come back to!

Celebrated our 21st anniversary here and stayed at Hotel Sacher. What a treat! Thank you dear hubby! We were welcomed by genuine, friendly staff and upgraded to a junior suite. It is centrally located by the state opera house and the kartner strasse with plenty of shopping. You can really absorb all the rich history of Vienna here. This is truly a five-star hotel. You can relax in luxury with all the amenities. There is a spa available if you need as well. But for me it's the little things that really made this hotel special. - beautifully decorated, clean, not stuffy rooms (you won't get that old funky smell of some older hotels, even though this has been around since 1876) - room temp control works great; no drafts or air blowing in your face. No loud AC noise to keep you awake at night. - no street noise at all, although we had a great view of the street below - bath products replenished frequently and trash emptied twice daily - fresh fruit and chocolate provided daily - umbrellas available for use if you forgot yours - great concierge service - Anna Sacher restaurant was pricey but well worth it; we had the poulard (chicken) with shallots made 3 ways, and sheatfish with peppers. Yuzu with grapes and Jivara with arabica and lingonberry for dessert. All dishes were pleasing to the eye and palette yet not overly rich nor filling. Of course, traditional Viennese dishes and the "original" sachertorte can be ordered as well. I highly recommend the Hotel Sacher. You will not be disappointed. read more

The hotel itself is really elegant, and a city landmark. If you're quiet and in small numbers you can wander through the different rooms in the lobby. The interior is beautiful and there's a room of head shots and signatures from the famous people who stayed there. The cafe is really busy and the staff are quick and too the point, but by no means are they rude. Being the place for the Original Sacher Torte, it makes sense as they're constantly turning over tables. I must say the prices are a bit much, but it's a fun treat, strongly recommended. The famous torte lives up to its reputation; however, the cheese torte was not that good. Cute and classic place to grab tea/coffee and a cake/pastry. read more

Hey, how many other hotels do you know of that have a world famous cake named after them? Sachertorte is tasty, unique and a real treat, especially when enjoyed in the elegant cafe at the Hotel Sacher. The coffee's excellent here too (as it best be - standards are high!). Although I can't comment on the actual accommodations (but I have heard good things), Hotel Sacher is well worth visiting. It's a beautiful and grand building within easy walking distance of most of Vienna's key attractions. read more

Really classy -- hasn't changed over the years. Pricey, but a great place to stay if you want to be in the thick of it in Vienna. I wish I could comment on the Sachertorte but I'm not much of a dessert eater and there are many other places selling chocolate cake in Vienna. However, I'm told you must have the Sachertorte when you're here (which I did). read more

I had the privilege of staying here for a week and omg...where to start. Every single detail in every single room of the hotel is stunning, the service is wonderful, the location can't get much better....I was sad to not be able to get an appointment for the spa and the woman there was kind enough to find me a similar service nearby! It is absolutely iconic and you will feel like royalty there. I hope to be back again! read more

This is a total 'must see' in Vienna! The terrace is crowded almost all the time, but you can still enjoy your meal inside. The place is cosy, the waiters are nice, and the Sachertorte is delicious - in other words, Hotel Sacher is just what you expect it to be. I had a Torte and a cup of Brauner (coffee with a splash of milk) and loved it. Somehow it felt just right, in the just-an-average-tourist kind of way :) read more

Historic hotel centrally located across from the Opera. Perfect hotel if you want to stay in a historic property, perfectly maintained with impeccable service.

Gorgeous world renowned hotel. I highly recommend visiting this elegant hotel if you are in Vienna. This is where I had the pleasure of trying the world famous sacher-torte. To this day I still think about this delicious dessert. I can't even describe what it tastes like other than it's a decadence of rich chocolate and raspberry. The coffee was also delicious. The service and setting was by far outstanding. read more

We cannot say enough about this beautiful hotel! Everything is exquisite, from the decor to the service and beyond. When we arrived we were treated as treasured guests, shown around to what we might need to know and shown to our room. The room was lovely in every way! There was a welcome letter, a plate of chocolates, fruit and a wrapped cube of the delicious and famous Sacher Cake. The breakfast is also exquisite from the beautiful displays, the variety, the juice/smoothie bar and a menu to choose freshly prepared dishes. We needed to call to confirm an already prepaid transportation for the airport and they handled making the call and provided confirmation when we returned from our day excursion! The room is just lovely and the evening turndown is a very nice touch. We have felt like royalty. It's also within easy walking distance to many things you may want to see. We would recommend this hotel to anyone! read more
