The Belle Epoque–influenced rooms are a symbol of elegance and comfort, while the two restaurants, two bars, and illustrious Café Sacher make it possible to enjoy the hotel’s timeless charm…
At the table
Blaue Bar mixes drinks in a blue velvet salon, and Café Sacher serves torte across marble-topped tables.
