Hotel Sacher Salzburg: A Grande Dame on the Salzach

Hotel Sacher Salzburg is the Salzburg counterpart to Vienna's world-famous Sacher, a grand family-owned hotel on the banks of the Salzach River, looking across to the baroque old town, the fortress and the birthplace of Mozart. For generations it has hosted the stars of the Salzburg Festival, and it remains a home of the Original Sacher-Torte.

The dining is quintessentially Austrian. Restaurant Zirbelzimmer serves gourmet cuisine in a pine-panelled room preserved since 1866; the Sacher Grill offers Tafelspitz and Wiener Schnitzel over the river; Café Sacher pours the city's coffee culture; and the Sacher Bar handles apéritifs and late drinks.

For a historic, riverside Salzburg stay, Hotel Sacher is a benchmark.
