Radisson Hotel Graz opens, introducing the upscale Radisson brand to Austria

With the grand opening of Radisson Hotel Graz, Radisson Hotel Group introduces its upscale Radisson brand to Austria. The newly built hotel features 232 rooms and sits in a strategic location by the central train station and offers delightful spaces in Scandinavian-inspired design, while introducing the exciting Balaustine restaurant concept to the city. 

Radisson Hotel Graz enjoys a location that provides easy access to all of Graz. As the capital of Styria, Austria’s self-proclaimed “green heart” known for its natural beauty and folkloric traditions, Graz is a charming travel destination known for its blend of historical and modern attractions. Visitors are drawn to its UNESCO-listed Old Town where they can explore Renaissance courtyards, Baroque palaces, and the iconic Schlossberg hill with its clock tower. The city boasts a vibrant arts scene, highlighted by the futuristic Kunsthaus Graz, and offers exciting culinary experiences in its restaurants and cafés. Graz has a lively atmosphere year-round with its student-fueled nightlife and numerous parks, and the city especially comes to life during the numerous events held throughout the year, such as the Aufsteirern festival or the Austrian F1 Grand Prix weekend. 

With 232 rooms, Radisson Hotel Graz is the city’s largest hotel. The rooms are designed in the signature Radisson style to provide a haven of comfort and relaxation. The tasteful design with clean lines, attractive natural materials such as stone, wood and soft fabrics, and a color palette with natural, muted tones create a calming space. All rooms are equipped with multiple USB ports, TVs with streaming functionality, and complimentary Wi-Fi for seamless connectivity and a perfect “work from anywhere” setup. Accommodation options include rooms facing the quiet inner courtyard or more spacious Premium Rooms with in-room espresso machines and large corner windows looking out onto Europaplatz square. 

The gastronomic delights at Radisson Hotel Graz include the Balaustine restaurant located under a glass roof in the inner courtyard of the hotel, which offers a casual-fine dining experience inspired by the Barbary coast and the Levant. The restaurant's menu features a range of dishes that combine fresh, invigorating flavors and bold textures. The adjacent bar offers a co-working space as well as lounge seating, and an extensive selection of cocktails and wines from Styria and beyond. The bar with its Scandinavian-inspired design and tasteful décor is a cozy space that lets guests unwind while at the same time connecting to the city looking out onto the hustle and bustle of the square and streets outside. 

Radisson Hotel Graz is also a destination for business gatherings with three meeting spaces flooded with natural light and adaptable for various setups. With the three rooms spanning 150m² and directly connected to the restaurant and bar on the ground floor, the conference space provides the perfect setting for productive meetings, complemented by high-speed Wi-Fi and the latest audio-visual technology. 

“We’re excited to welcome guests in Graz to a comfortable, relaxing stay. Whether exploring this fantastic, multifaceted destination during a leisure trip, visiting us for work, or catching the bold flavors of the Middle Eastern cuisine served at Balaustine restaurant, we’ll make sure that every visit to Radisson Hotel Graz is a simply delightful experience,” says Matthias Guttengeber, General Manager of Radisson Hotel Graz. 

Radisson Hotel Group’s commitment to being a Responsible Business is exemplified in this new hotel in Graz: Electricity comes from 100% renewable sources, and water is heated by the city’s district heating system. For e-mobility, the hotel has four EV charging stations in its underground car park, and the separate bike room provides free charging of e-bike batteries. The use of energy within the hotel is highly efficient, including a connection of the property-management system to the heating and cooling systems, ensuring that only occupied rooms are heated or cooled. The hotel is aiming to receive a DGNB Gold certificate.
