Travelers who appreciate historical charm will enjoy staying at the Hotel Sacher Salzburg. Built in 1866, the hotel's restaurants and accommodations underwent an extensive renovation in 1990 – and for rooms facing the Salzburg State Theatre, again in 2016 – to match the building's 19th-century design. All of the property's rooms and suites feature original paintings, antiques and crystal chandeliers, plus iPod docking stations, Wi-Fi access, flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms with separate showers and bathtubs. Some travelers bemoaned their standard accommodations' small sizes (noting that they expected more than 215 to 323 square feet given the high room rates); however, more space is available in suites. Outside your accommodations, you'll find three restaurants, a cafe, a bar and a health club with fitness equipment, a sauna and a steam bath. But according to former guests, the standouts at this property are its prime location in central Salzburg and the homemade chocolates sold at the on-site confectionary store. What's more, the hotel is part of The Leading Hotels of the World, meaning Leaders Club members have access to perks here.
