Individual ratings for Hotel Sacher Salzburg

Location
Right on the riverbank of the Salzach river, very close to the Mirabell Gardens and the Mozart residence.
Ambience
The interior was painstakingly chosen by the Gürtler-Winkler family who owns the hotel, favouring select antiques and paying great attention to detail. The first 30 rooms were refurbished in 2014, with another 25 to be redecorated by March 2016. The new rooms feature the fine linen typical of Salzburg along with state-of-the-art appliances such as bathroom mirrors with built-in screens. An accomplished symbiosis of tradition and modernity.
Infrastructure
3 restaurants, bar, Sacher Café with in-house confectionery (this is where you get the world-famous Original Sacher-Torte), health club.
Culinary
Grand culinary diversity at the hotel's three restaurants: traditional cuisine and Austrian specialities in the "Roter Salon," sophisticated haute cuisine at the "Zirbelzimmer" and juicy burgers at the "Salzachgrill" that are the talk of the town.
Rooms
None of the 113 rooms are alike but in any of the rooms and suites you will instantly know that you are at the Sacher Hotel in Salzburg. The rooms and suites, all furnished with antiques, can be booked in either of two styles: traditional or contemporary. The new rooms are brightly painted in burgundy red, olive green, and taupe. All rooms feature an iPod dock and a marble bathroom, stocked with care products expressly designed for the Sacher Hotel and named "Time to Chocolate."
Service
The attentive and discrete way the staff look after the welfare of the guests makes you wonder how you could have ever settled for anything less.

Hotel Sacher Salzburg Hotel, Salzburg

Many famous opera stars spent the night here, and music plays a central role in the Sacher Salzburg Hotel just as it does in its Viennese headquarters. Located in Mozart's native city, home to the annual Salzburg Festival, the hotel inadvertently but all the more successfully gathers an exciting crowd of celebrated musicians, artists, international politicians, and tycoons. The best place to kick back and watch celebrities come and go is in the lobby. Then again, the unique Sacher spirit is felt most keenly at the cosy, stylish bar over a drink or a piece of cake – the one and only Original Sacher-Torte. The Original Sacher-Torte was admittedly invented not in Salzburg but in Vienna by a young apprentice cook named Franz Sacher in 1832. But in the years since, the Original Sacher-Torte has won over both locals and guests with its fluffy chocolate sponge layer, the apricot jam and the icing made from various flavours of chocolate. Staying at the Sacher without having a piece of the Original Sacher-Torte is simply inconceivable to us.
Price range €€
Living up to a grand history. The Sacher Hotel in Salzburg is an important historic and cultural part of the city.
For the time being, the refurbishment work is still under way. The 25 rooms on the second and third floor as well as the health club are undergoing refurbishment and will reopen on 25 March 2016. The noise level from the refurbishment is being kept to a minimum and no work is done at night or during weekends.
