What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
you get a clever if stripped-down modern hotel, outfitted in a cheerfully utopian style by Berlin’s Studio Aisslinger.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set beside Graz Central Station in the Lend district, the property puts local design shops and tram rides across the river within easy reach.
The rooms
Loggia rooms offer private balconies over the streetscape, while a standalone glass cube suite crowns the roof with 360-degree skyline views.
Sauna and yoga
A guest sauna offers quiet downtime, and scheduled yoga sessions take place up on the roof.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Grazie Roma
Thin-crust Roman pizzas and pasta are served in a bright dining room with terrazzo floors and a vintage red jukebox.
At the table
The breakfast lounge serves fresh bakery goods beside a stone fireplace, set with mid-century chairs and glass tables.
How it began

Hotelier Florian Weitzer revived this 1950s train-station hotel in 2005, stripping away excess to pioneer an accessible, design-led concept.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
