The Weitzer

Welcome to
the Weitzer.

It’s a hotel that has been one of the best addresses in the city for more than 100 years, and will always be state-of-the-art. Modern goes with traditional here, just as much as first-class with affordable. The “Urbane” is now seasoned with a delicate pinch of country life. Florian Weitzer is managing the hotel in the fourth generation, and with character and contemporary ideas. And the Weitzer has even more to offer.

 

We’re right bang in the centre.

First of all: We’re located where visitors to Graz most like to be – right in the Old Town, directly by the Mur, just a few steps from the eye‑catching Kunsthaus and very near to Schloßberg, Hauptplatz und Congress Graz.

 

We’ve got it all.

Or rather, our 204 fully modernised rooms have. In seven different lovingly furnished categories with a feel-good factor, from extremely comfortable to breathtaking. And we and our free WiFi are always there if you need anything. Absolutely anything. Whether it’s bicycles to explore Graz – just to name a moving example. The hotel’s own underground car park is available for your own two to four (motorized) wheels.

We’re foodies.

Just like you, we assume. And if you appreciate contemporary Styrian cuisine, you’ll love our restaurant, Der Steirer, along with its first-class Steirer Shop. Incidentally, the locals do as well. And Kaffee Weitzer too. We’re fans of the contemporary Austrian coffeehouse culture. That’s why our Apfelstrudel, Turkish coffee and Hüferschwanz-Semmerl come with free WiFi.

 

We’re urban and rural.

While we’re on eating and drinking: Just recently we also began to run a small but excellent farm. With its own tractor, henhouse and everything else you need to bring a piece of the country into the town. It’s still rather in the experimental stage. But if we have our way, some products in our hotel will soon be “Made by Weitzer”.

 

In short:

If you want to experience and discover Graz in the most relaxed manner, the hotel “Das Weitzer” is definitely the perfect starting point for all your explorations.

 

So, now you know what we are, where we are, and what we’re like. And when you stay at the hotel “Das Weitzer”, you’re welcome to meet us face-to-face! We look forward to meeting you soon.
