To stay at The Sacher Hotel, a legendary privately owned property, is to inhabit the history of Vienna itself. Artists, critics and their public have gathered here since 1880. However time has not stood still, as entrepreneurial owner Mrs. Gürtler has been successful in giving its spaces a renewed glamourous glow: since 2004, a thorough refurbishment and extension gives The Sacher new life - with its new striking fabrics and selected materials, stunning terrace rooms on the top floor, the contemporary Sacher Eck Café and a 300 sq. meter SPA equipped with saltwater steam bath, a ?K&K Sauna? and Crystal relaxation room where one can choose an array of St Barth treatments including a decadent chocolate face peel.

So when in Vienna for an Opera outing, a Secession visit or to admire the likes of Mozart, Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele or the Jugendstil architecture, do delight yourself at the taste of the Sacher Torte and all of its surroundings - a most inspiring experience.
