Located in the heart of Salzburg, the Hotel Sacher Salzburg extends along the river Salzach, offering the most stunning views over the old-town, the river and the mountains.

A lovely historic grand hotel with a fabulous location on the river and overlooking the Old Town including Fort Hohensalzburg and all the cathedrals. Very helpful and courteous staff and several restaurants including a nice bar. The five star place to stay in Salzburg.

Just had a wonderful three day stay at the Sacher Hotel Salzburg. We received a very warm and friendly welcome, receptionist was courteous and professional. The Junior Suite with river view was luxurious in every way. Beautiful room with large king bed, bathroom facilities spotless and attention to detail by staff notable. Fitness suite , sauna and steam room were very good and also very quiet. Sauna temperature very good as was steam room. Concierge was most helpful in organising them to be switched on 30 minutes before being used. Breakfast was excellent. The friendliness of staff together with their knowledge of their particular role in the hotel was very much appreciated. An outstanding hotel in every way. The free upgrade to Junior Suite was much appreciated. Offers for February low season were excellent. Thank you for a lovely time

Location was okay, but Salzburg is like a retirement home. Streets are totally empty in the evening. Hotel had horrible patisserie and food for breakfast and dinner. Tastes bland and fitted for old people only, very unsavoury. Room was beautiful, but smelled like a dead body was buried there. Stench was horrible. Mid for a leading hotel of the world.

Most have been said along the years about this iconic hotel but I would like to add that it worth all the good words. From detailed Breakfast (including for kids) to the rooms ( I was assigned to a great suite, so double pleasure due to the incredible view & beauty room) but the Staff! The staff Is there to plant a wish to come back seed in your brain: warmth, educated, focused on the right things and to make things right. I had a small problem with the sockets in my room but the way they dealt with it made me write this review: all solved with brain🙏 Location is top and ok it’s not cheap but try the experience in the low season and visit Salzburg in great style. The coffee shop is unmissable

Our stay at the Sacher Hotel was absolutely wonderful—our only regret is that it was far too short! This means we’ll just have to return to beautiful Salzburg during the summer to spend more time at this exceptional hotel. From the moment we arrived, every member of the staff, from the reception desk to the restaurants, went above and beyond to make our visit special. Their kindness, attentiveness, and willingness to assist truly stood out. One example of their exceptional service was when I mentioned how much I enjoyed the oatmeal cookies at the spa. By the time we returned to our room after dinner, there was a plate of those delicious cookies waiting for us—a thoughtful and magical touch that perfectly reflects the Sacher experience. I also want to highlight Ronja, our hotel tour guide, who was an absolute delight. Her charm and knowledge added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. We can’t wait for our next visit to a Sacher Hotel.
