The Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Styria, is a stunning mountain circuit set against the backdrop of the Austrian Alps, one of the shortest and fastest circuits in Formula 1 with steep elevation changes producing dramatic racing. The Austrian Grand Prix circuit has hosted F1 since 1970 and produces some of the sport's most dramatic overtaking battles. Hotels in Graz provide the most convenient base for the Red Bull Ring, combining circuit visits with Austria's second city and its UNESCO Old Town, Schlossberg, and outstanding Styrian cuisine.
Our Picks — Graz
Grieskai — Mur Riverbank
A Jugendstil masterpiece on the Mur River, the Wiesler has been the most elegant address in Graz since 1909. The original period interiors have been preserved with reverence — marble bathrooms, stucco ceilings, deep-soaking bathtubs — and the breakfast room overlooking the river is one of the most beautiful in Austria.
City Centre
A refined four-star in a historic building at the heart of the city, Hotel Weitzer combines Viennese-style service with a rooftop terrace and bar that commands the best views of the Schlossberg clocktower. The restaurant specialises in Styrian cuisine, and the wine list showcases the exceptional producers of the South Styrian wine country.
Augarten Park
A beautiful design hotel in the Augarten park area, Augartenhotel has been renovated into a sleek, art-filled property with a garden terrace and the kind of quietly excellent breakfast that exemplifies Austrian hospitality at its best. The location between the old city and the modern Kunsthaus district is ideally balanced.
Train Station District
The coolest budget-to-mid option in Graz, Hotel Daniel is a playful design hotel built around a caravan park concept near the train station — some "rooms" are actual caravans on the rooftop terrace. The ground-floor bar and café are buzzing day and night, and the price-to-design ratio is exceptional.
City Park
A grand 19th-century hotel on the edge of the Stadtpark, the Parkhotel has hosted Franz Josef I and has maintained its aristocratic bearing ever since. The high-ceilinged ballroom, the antique-furnished rooms, and the park-facing terrace make it a natural choice for special occasions.
Mur Park
A charming boutique hotel with the distinctive warmth of the Romantik Hotels collection, offering individually designed rooms, an excellent Styrian breakfast, and a garden terrace on the Mur River where breakfast is served on summer mornings. The personal service and attention to detail set it apart from the larger chains.
