What else? The spa at the Hotel Sacher, the historical grand hotel famous for its Sachertorte chocolate cake, specializes in luxury chocolate treatments. Using Sacher Spa’s own Time to Chocolate® products, skilled therapists pamper hotel and day guests with indulgent programs like “A Symphony in Chocolate,” a rich chocolate wrap that includes an aroma steam bath, purifying cacao bean peeling massage, chocolate body mask and a relaxing massage with sweet chocolate moisturizers.

If you’ve overdosed on Vienna’s pastries and the smell of chocolate already induces nausea, then the exclusive treatments from La Prairie or Ligne St. Barths offer chocolate-free alternatives. The gym and thermal areas provide the antidote to any calorific excesses.
