Sacher Wien is one of Vienna's most renowned hotels, established in 1876 and located by the State Opera House. This five star hotel is famed as home of the 'Sachertorte', a traditional chocolate cake enjoyed throughout Austria. Sacher Wien holds a special connection to the Sachertorte: the father of the founder of the hotel, Franz Sacher, invented this chocolate torte back in 1832. Alongside the sale of souvenirs, Sachertorte allegedly accounts for an impressive third of the Sacher Wien's profit.

2) Du Cadran, Paris, France
