Hotel Weitzer Graz – Centre of Graz Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Hotel Weitzer Graz – Centre of Graz along the Grieskai, you immediately get why this place has such a stellar reputation. The building sits right on the riverfront in the heart of Graz, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if they’d planned the entire city around it. There’s something reassuring about a hotel that clearly knows its strengths — and here, it’s all about being exactly where you want to be. The entrance feels welcoming without trying too hard, which I appreciate in a four-star property.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s great about staying in Gries? You’re literally in the UNESCO World Heritage old town, but you’re not stuck in some touristy bubble. The Grieskai runs along the Mur River, so you’ve got these lovely riverside walks right outside your door. I mean, couples rate this location 9.6 out of 10 for good reason — you can stroll to Hauptplatz in about five minutes, hit the Kunsthaus or the Schlossberg funicular without breaking a sweat. The tram stops are right there too, though honestly, you probably won’t need them much since everything’s walkable.

The Room Experience

Here’s where Hotel Weitzer really delivers — the beds are genuinely fantastic. I’m usually pretty skeptical when hotels boast about their bedding, but this place actually lives up to the hype. The rooms feel thoughtfully designed rather than just decorated, with enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. The river views from many rooms are lovely, especially in the evening when the old town lights start reflecting on the water. You’ll sleep well here, which isn’t something I can say about every city center hotel.

Breakfast & Amenities

The breakfast buffet is solid — not groundbreaking, but definitely above average with good local options alongside the standard international fare. What I really appreciate is that they’ve got parking available, which is honestly a lifesaver in Graz’s old town where finding a spot can be a nightmare. The staff seems to know what they’re doing too, probably because this place has tons of repeat guests (more than most hotels, apparently). That usually tells you something about how well a place is run.

Why Guests Keep Coming Back

There’s a reason people return to Hotel Weitzer again and again — it just works. The location is unbeatable, the comfort level is spot-on, and there aren’t any unpleasant surprises. It’s the kind of place where you can focus on enjoying Graz instead of worrying about your accommodation. Whether you’re here for the architecture, the food scene, or just a romantic getaway, this hotel gives you a solid base without any drama. Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
