Future with tradition.
For what is probably the most famous cake in the world, the Original Sacher Torte, it was to create an appropriate ambience – from this claim the finest corner of Vienna, the new Sacher Eck, was achieved.
The famous Hotel Sacher, in its prime location opposite the Vienna State Opera, is a long-established family business that exudes elegance and charm. It unites classic Viennese design with its heritage as a world-renowned Austrian hotel and restaurant brand.

On the foundation of a great tradition
The decision to refurbish the Sacher Eck was preceded by a long maturing process in which the scope and the design orientation were very carefully considered. The hotel and restaurant projects of the Vienna-based architecture firm BWM Architekten under the direction of interior design expert Erich Bernard have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. One such project was the conversion of the traditional Viennese jeweller A.E. Köchert, which involved mordenising and reinterpreting Theophil Hansen’s historic premises. It is precisely this specific interior design expertise that won the firm the contract for the redesign of the Sacher Eck.The guideline for the redesign of Sacher Eck was laid down in close coordination with the owner family. Building on Sacher’s great tradition, contemporary design elements and a modern infrastructure serve to stimulate the discourse between old and new.
