Hotel Wiesler | How a Hotel in Graz, Austria, is Redefining “Luxury”


 

The Wiesler has been around since 1909 and renovated in its original style in 1986.  As a member of the WORLDHOTELS, Hotel Wiesler belongs to the “500 most unique hotels in the world“.

 

Florian Weitzer‘s new Wiesler has an urban atmosphere even though it is in Styria.  Set in the heart of Graz, right by the River Mur, next to the Kunsthaus and with views of the Schlossberg, it is surrounded by bars and shops of the young creative scene in the city.  Great care has been taken to preserve the natural patina as well as the wonderful memories and stories of bygone years.  The result is a blend of the old and the new with a touch of soul.

clusters of vintage picture frames,
an authentic guitar and mismatched retro furniture,
handwritten wall signs directing you up a marble nouveau staircase

 

glamorous chandeliers and plenty of light and space,
an old record player with marvelous discs,
a small library with works by the great unconventional thinkers of our times,
a typewriter, a treasure chest,
AND a Polaroid corner where you can share your Wiesler moments

 

The successful combination of beautiful vintage fixtures and modern design symbolizes the philosophy behind the new Wiesler.

 

refurbished rooms and breathtaking views of the city,
AND much more besides all beg to be tried out

urban, modern, vintage, retro, glamour and art nouveau
all catering to cosmopolitan tourists and business travelers in a relaxed environment
