DETAILED DESCRIPTION
History, culture and scenery come together perfectly in this Salzburg institution. Salzburg’s only Grand Hotel, the Sacher sits on the banks of the river Salzach in the city centre. A recent major refurbishment has created a level of contemporary luxury to match its 150-year old tradition.
Today, the Sacher’s historic interiors, complete with original paintings, silk wallpaper and antique furniture, complement exceptional modern facilities. The new Sacher Fitness Club with spacious spa and steam bath is as well-equipped as any in Europe. Meanwhile, its 113 rooms and suites, include state-of-the-art audio visual technology with Dolby surround sound.
Even if it’s Salzburg’s famous summer music festival that draws you here, be sure to experience the Zirbelzimmer at The Sacher. A Gault Millau toque-awarded, wood-panelled restaurant, it serves exquisite classic Austrian dishes. Alternatively, the rustic Sazachgrill offers delicious grilled meats and fish. And don’t miss a slice of Sacher Torte on the terrace of the Café Sacher overlooking the river.
WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THE HOTEL
- History. The Sacher has a special place in the life of the city. Since opening in 1866, the hotel has re-invented itself for each new generation, adding the latest luxuries in each incarnation but remaining true to its tradition of ‘exceptional service in sumptuous surroundings’.
- Culture. Salzburg is Mozart’s birthplace and home to many different music and drama festivals, including the world-famous one in late July. At any time of the year, The Sacher is the ideal base to explore this most cultural of cities, which includes the Residenzgalerie with paintings by Rembrandt and Rubens, plus some of most striking baroque buildings in Europe.
- Scenery. The river Salzach meanders gently through the town, while picturesque Hohensalzburg Castle looks down from classic Austrian countryside onto the enchanting maze of tiny streets that make up Old Salzburg. This really is a setting to savour.
