As a traveler, you also want to taste the best food a city/country can offer. Not only did my eyes feast on the architecture of
Hotel Sacher but also on their famous
Sacher Torte, a chocolate cake that consists of two layers of dense but not too sweet chocolate cake with a hint of apricot jam in the middle of the dark chocolate and icing and whipped cream, no sugar, on the side. Hotel Sacher was established by Eduard Sacher, son of the creator of Sacher Torte. Artists, Aristocrats like
Queen Elizabeth II and Politicians like
John F. Kennedy stayed to wine and dine in this 5 star modern hotel yet boasts of its historical roots. Businessmen and non profit organizations like the Rotary, where members like my Rotarian husband, also meet in this hotel. Hotel Sacher is strategically located opposite the
Opera House, the
Hopburg Imperial Palace and other Vienna's major sites, thanks to
Himmet and Mayenne Banda Cayir and family who enjoyed taking us around Vienna. I was attracted to the exterior and the timeless balusters, dentil mouldings, the type of mouldings I personally used in my living room and took the picture not realizing it was Hotel Sacher which was built in 1876 and renovated in 2005-2006 by
Sepp Frank. This building is dated, yet elegant and classy and updated with modern luxurious amenities.
