Hotel Sacher Salzburg
Imperial Austrian grand hotel — rich red velvets, crystal chandeliers, antique furnishings, marble bathrooms, and original artworks throughout. Formal but not stiff; guests are treated like family.
Ask for a river-facing room or suite — the view of Hohensalzburg Fortress from your balcony at sunrise is hard to beat
Why It Matters
The only grand hotel in Salzburg, dating from 1866. Home of the Original Sacher-Torte, the Gault&Millau-awarded Zirbelzimmer restaurant, and the Sacher Sky Suite — the largest self-contained suite in Salzburg, designed by French star decorator Pierre-Yves Rochon and built on the hotel's roof.
Dating to 1866, Hotel Sacher Salzburg is the only grand luxury hotel in Mozart's birthplace. It sits directly on the banks of the Salzach River, facing the old town and Hohensalzburg Fortress, with rooms and restaurants that make the most of that view. Privately owned by the Gürtler-Winkler family and a member of Leading Hotels of the World, it's been renovated to blend local aristocratic country-house design with modern comfort — without losing the 19th-century pomp that makes it feel like no other hotel in the city.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe Room
The entry-level room here still runs 24–35 m², which is respectable by Salzburg standards. All are adorned with original artworks and antiques; the colorful marble bathrooms are a standout detail. Some have balconies overlooking the old town or fortress. Free non-alcoholic minibar included, 24/7 concierge.
29 sqm
Family Suite
At a flat 90 m², this is the dedicated family option. Plenty of space for parents and kids, with multiple rooms. Babysitting and children's buffet available. Kids club on-site.
90 sqmJunior Suite
Ranges from 35–45 m² and steps up the luxury noticeably with larger living areas. Available in standard and 'with View' variants — the view rooms look directly over the Salzach and fortress. Classic Sacher décor with soft hues, fresh flowers, and all the same amenities as Deluxe rooms plus more space to spread out.
40 sqmPresidential Suite
From 150 m² with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, a grand parlor, and views of either Salzburg or the State Theater. Defining colors are reds, greens, and taupes — from window trimmings to furniture. Valuable carpets, fine wood floors, impressive artwork throughout. Every suite is unique.
150 sqmSacher Sky Suite
The showstopper. Built on the hotel's roof and designed by French star designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, this is the largest self-contained suite in Salzburg at 138 m².
