Kunsthaus Graz
Affectionately called the “Friendly Alien” by locals, the Kunsthaus Graz – opened in 2003 – has long been a city landmark with its avant‑garde design and a home to major works of contemporary art.
The perfect starting point for your sightseeing tour: right in the heart of the city and less than a five‑minute walk from the Kunsthaus, the Clock Tower, the Schlossberg, the old town – and everything else you really should see in Graz. Or, as we like to say: unmissable.
The Hotel Weitzer is located in the heart of Graz’s old town, right on the Mur River, where the city is at its liveliest. You are just a few steps away from the Schlossberg, the Kunsthaus and the main square. And yet it never feels hectic here. This is the best place to discover Graz: on foot through narrow streets, past Renaissance façades and small cafés, up to the clock tower with its view over red roofs and green hills.
If you like, start your day on the Mur promenade or at Kaffee Weitzer and immerse yourself in Graz’s unique lifestyle – charming, relaxed and with a touch of Mediterranean flair. Whether you’re interested in culture, cuisine or simply the good life – at the Hotel Weitzer, you’re right in the heart of it all.

There are many ways up Graz’s picturesque hill – by 260 steps, by lift or by funicular.
Baroque splendour streets and narrow lanes, Renaissance façades and a hint of Mediterranean ease – Graz’s Old Town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999.
