The honest take
Book the Kaiserhof unless the Sacher name and address are the point. At $364 against $974, the Kaiserhof actually scores slightly higher with guests (9.6 vs 9.5 over nearly twice the reviews) and sits a few minutes away in the same opera-house neighbourhood. The only listed gap is breakfast, which Sacher includes and Kaiserhof appears not to. For most visitors that's a poor trade against saving $610 a night.
The look and the feel
Hotel Sacher Wien
The Sacher is Vienna's grand hotel in the old sense: red damask, gilt mirrors, dark oil portraits and antiques crowding the corridors since 1876, opposite the State Opera. The Rote Bar and Grüne Bar are dim, velvet-lined rooms where the waiters have worked there for decades and the Sacher-Torte is served on porcelain with a small mountain of whipped cream. It's a hotel built for the imperial-era grand tour crowd and it still plays that role, right down to the minibar stocked with coffee and tea rather than anything modern.
Sacher suits guests who want the historic set-piece itself, the address, the velvet, and don't mind paying for the name.
Hotel Kaiserhof Wien
The Kaiserhof is a more straightforward four-star operation a short walk from Karlsplatz: air-conditioned rooms with flat-screens and docking stations, a small spa with sauna and gym, a Viennese breakfast buffet, and a bar for the evening. Nothing here is trying to evoke an era; it's a well-run, contemporary city hotel that happens to sit two streets from the opera.
Kaiserhof suits anyone who wants a comfortable, well-reviewed base near the opera without paying for antiques and mirrors.
Booking the cheaper Kaiserhof means giving up the included breakfast that comes with the Sacher rate, along with the antique furnishings, the historic bars and the Sacher-Torte café on site.
The Sacher is unmistakably the more beautiful and characterful room to sit in, all damask and gilt and a century and a half of habit; the Kaiserhof is comfortable but has no real design story to tell.
