One of the highlights of Salzburg for me was our beautiful Hotel Sacher accommodation. Due to the fact that it was off peak season we were able to get a very good rate for our room and we were even upgraded to a room with the view of the river. Later I learned that the 2015 rates for the hotel were 700 Euros per night! Yikes!

We selected the Hotel Sacher for the location and, if I am honest, because the Trip Advisor breakfast reviews were incredible!  It is directly across the river from the old city and within easy walking distance of all the key areas in Salzburg.

Even with the glowing reviews buzzing around in my head leaving quite a high standard to live up to...I was incredibly impressed by the morning breakfasts. They even served gluten free bread for Kingsley and I, though I have to admit I cheated later by indulging in their non-gluten free world famous chocolate torte. It was worth it! We had fresh squeeze grapefruit juice with a splash of champagne, omelets, cheeses from all over the world and so much more and everything was delicious.

I am a big tea drinker, some might even say a tea snob, and have been known to bring my own tea bags when we travel just in case the selection is limited wherever we are staying. Hotel Sacher scored even extra points from me by having the most divine tea selection. I especially enjoyed their Althaus green tea and without fail woke up each morning obsessing thinking about it to the point where ordering a pot of it via room service was required to pacify me.
