Vienna (Austria), Feb 13 (EFE / EPA), (Camera: Christian Bruna/Álex Giménez).- Having a traditional Austrian chocolate cake delivered to your door by a bellboy worthy of a Wes Anderson movie is an ideal way to kick off Valentine’s Day celebrations but it is also a unique initiative one traditional purveyor has undertaking in a bid to mitigate the effects of the Covid-19 lockdown in Vienna. “This year the Sachertorte would be the perfect present for Valentine’s Day,” Andreas Keese, manager of Vienna’s Hotel Sacher, tells Efe in a dining room that would normally be packed with guests. Before the pandemic, large groups of tourists would line up patiently for a chance to sample this most-famous of Viennese desserts, but the Covid-19 restrictions has forced the famous café to find a different approach by delivering the cake, which comprises a sponge bases smothered in apricot jam and coated in unctuous chocolate icing.FOOTAGE OF HOTEL SACHER IN VIENNA.SOUNDBITES OF ANDREAS KEESE, MANAGER OF HOTEL SACHER.
The coronavirus pandemic may have forced many of Vienna's luxury hotels to close indefinitely as global travel restrictions keep away the many millions of tourists who usually visit the Austrian capital every year. But the city's iconic Hotel Sacher is determined not to let fans of its world-famous chocolate cake, the Sachertorte, go hungry.
Brussels, Feb 13 (EFE), (Camera: Leopoldo Rodríguez).- In the intimate atmosphere of a hotel room and under a dim light, a decorated table with two plates awaits two diners who can enjoy a special menu and escape from the routine of teleworking. The Qbic hotel in Brussels has found a way to reinvent itself in times of pandemic taking advantage of the hotel's available rooms and turning them into an individualized dining room so that each guest —mainly couples— have a private space to enjoy their menu with all security measures.FOOTAGE OF THE QBIC HOTEL IN BRUSSELS.SOUNDBITES OF MELANIE, DINER.
