Review of Hotel Sacher Wien, by Jamie Dunford Wood

Grand Hotel Wien is altogether a wonderful and expensive place. At this luxury hotel, you will fall in love with 'your' room and want to come back again and again. It pulls off that ultimate trick of feeling like home, which only a hotel lovingly nurtured over many years can achieve.

Review of Hotel Sacher Wien, by Jamie Dunford Wood

Grand Hotel Wien is altogether a wonderful and expensive place. At this luxury hotel, you will fall in love with 'your' room and want to come back again and again. It pulls off that ultimate trick of feeling like home, which only a hotel lovingly nurtured over many years can achieve.

The Grand Hotel Wien is ideally located on Kärntner Ring, only a stroll away from the Vienna State Opera, the famous Kärntner Straße and the grandeur of St. Stephen's Cathedral.

The facilities

Downstairs, the walls are covered in signed photos from famous guests such as Princess Grace and Queen Elizabeth. The café leads off from the main restaurant for convenient after-dinner coffees. The hotel offers seven function rooms that you can use for conferences or banquets. Take advantage of the 24-hour health club. Go shopping in Ringstrassen-Galerien Shopping Mall for the finest shopping in Vienna, as the lobby is just a step away from the hotel.

The whole atmosphere is one of privileged seclusion from the hubbub of central Vienna, but with this over-arching feeling of home. I suggest eating their Sacher Torte before an evening at the Opera Ball in February, which Frau Gurtler arranges herself.

The rooms

The Grand Hotel Wien offers 205 spacious suites and rooms, luxuriously furnished and tastefully decorated. Ceilings are high, like many of these old Vienna hotels, but bathrooms are small. Most rooms are wallpapered in a selection of patterns.

Review of Hotel Sacher, by Matthew Barker

It was here that Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was played for the first time and Graham Greene wrote The Third Man.

Review of Hotel Sacher, by Matthew Barker

Dashing old timer with sense of history and esteemed pedigree - rooms are laden with antiques and baroque furnishings; silk wall coverings and chandeliers provide a regal air. It was here that Beethoven's Ninth Symphony was played for the first time and Graham Greene wrote The Third Man. The new Madame Butterfly suite includes a balcony overlooking the State Opera House. 96 rooms (six suites). Member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Hotel Attractions: A foodie landmark. Franz Sacher, father of the hotel's founder Edward, created the (in)famous Sacher Torte. Younger members of the Habsburg Royal Family would frequently dash over from the nearby palace to enjoy dinner in the hotel after excusing themselves from the below-par offerings of the regal kitchens. The Anna Sacher restaurant serves traditional Viennese cuisine (pate of venison fillet with orange-red cabbage salad and cranberry sauce; fried ribs of lamb with paprika pumpkin and polenta); the Café Sacher has a nicely authentic atmosphere. No fitness centre.

Local Attractions:Apart from the State Opera, the Wiener Stadthalle and Karntnerstrasse pedestrianised shopping street are both within walking distance. The Museum Quarter includes new halls for the Kunsthalle Wien and the Museum of Modern Art Foundation Ludwig, providing a comprehensive overview of art from the last century; the Saturday market at Kettenbrückengasse is not to be missed, nor coffee and cakes at Café Prückl.
