VIENNA, AUSTRIA
Hotel Sacher
Philharmonikerstraße 4 · est. 1876
When Eduard Sacher died in 1892, his widow Anna took charge and kept it for nearly forty years. She ran the empire's grandest salon with a cigar in hand and a French bulldog at heel, and Vienna soon decided she outranked most of the archdukes.
"When I dream of afterlife in heaven, the action always takes place in the Paris Ritz."
— ERNEST HEMINGWAY, THE RITZ PARIS
