Grand Hotel Sauerhof  

In the centre of Baden's spa district, this central hotel sits steps from the Rathaus, Beethoven Schauraum and the Arnulf Rainer Museum. Public transport links are about 300 m away and Vienna is roughly 30 km from the door. Pet-friendly and ideal for a spa-town escape or a quick Vienna daytrip.

Rooms blend classic comfort with practical touches: minibar, fridge, safe in some rooms, TV with satellite channels, radio and a hairdryer. The vibe is relaxed spa-hotel chic with city-view windows for morning coffee. Elevator access keeps things easy and accessible.

Swim year-round in indoor and outdoor pools and soak up sun on the terrace. The wellness area features a spa, sauna, steam bath and solarium, with massage treatments available for a charge. Stay active in the fitness rooms, play tennis or head out for nearby golf; on-site parking, concierge and laundry services are provided. Pets are welcome.

Internet access and direct-dial telephones are available in rooms.

Choose from a non-smoking restaurant, a café or the bar for laid-back meals and evening drinks. A generous breakfast buffet is served to get the day started right.
