Vienna and Salzburg hotels
Hi all! Planning a late March trip to Vienna and Salzburg with my husband and 14 yo daughter. Trying to narrow down our hotel choices.
Our trip planner has recommended two options in each city (I realize there are many more; but also sometimes appreciate the simplicity of 2 choices!). Would love feedback on any of these 4 hotels, and any shoutouts to other properties you think should be contenders.
We prefer suites with a pullout sofa or rollaway for our daughter, and tend to prefer modern, unpretentious luxury over stuffy & ornate.
Vienna our proposed options are the Sacher in a signature suite or the Beletage Suite at Hotel Astoria. The Sacher is of course legendary, but looks like it might be a little stuffy for us. Astoria looks more modern (remodeled about 11 mos ago) - the suite is more spacious, and it’s $3600 less over 5 nights. I have no problem paying for the Sacher if it’s worth the upgrade.
In Salzburg it’s again the Sacher, or the Arthotel Blaue Gans. If they pull it off well, Arthotel totally looks like our vibe - right near the pedestrian area, just 35 rooms, quirky art and some character. The Sacher would again be a signature suite, whereas the Arthotel would be a massive two level Maisonette suite, and about $2900 less expensive for the 3 nights.
Would love to hear others’ experiences!! Thank you!!
