history
The hotel business began in 1892 in a house built by Ludwig Förster in 1863 . In 1898 the architects Emil Bressler and Gustav Wittrisch rebuilt the neighboring house . In 1913, after buying more neighboring houses, Wilhelm Schallinger rebuilt it again; The stairwell and the oval hall have been preserved to this day.
During the Second World War, Samuel Schallinger was expropriated by the Nazis in 1938 as part of the Aryanization process and murdered by them in 1942 in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. As a result of the expropriation, the new owners were Ernst Hoffmann, Hermann Klimpfinger, Günther Rustler and Friedrich von Schoeller. There was no restitution . The parent company was destroyed during the Second World War.
After the Second World War, the hotel was occupied by the United States during the Allied occupation (1945–1955) as a result of the Zone Agreement and was the seat of the American High Commissioner from 1951 to 1955. After the occupiers left, the ballroom in the basement and the oval Biedermeier salon were redesigned by the architect Otto Mayr.
The hotel has been owned by the Hotel Sacher Group since 2011 . Since then, the hotel has been gradually modernized under the direction of the French interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon .
