Every apartment includes WiFi and is fully furnished and equipped, ensuring a stress-free move-in and a comfortable daily life for tenants who are unlocking their next move in Graz.
A new opening in the City of Design: Graz followed in the footsteps of Vienna to become the second location in Austria with an IntercityHotel when the IntercityHotel Graz opened its doors on 13 November 2020. As usual, the hotel occupies a central site right next to the main railway station. This new four-star IntercityHotel offers 229 rooms spread over five floors and is currently the largest hotel in the city.
He will be responsible for the development of all areas of the 229-room hotel in the lead-up to its official scheduled opening in the autumn of 2020 and subsequently for the management of the hotel. As General Manager, Mr. Willensdorfer will help to reinforce the success enjoyed by this Deutsche Hospitality brand in Austria.
An official topping-out ceremony held today, Thursday, has triggered the next construction phase for the new Graz IntercityHotel, which will offer 229 rooms and 187 student apartments in a separate "SMARTments student" accommodation block. Development of the two buildings is taking place on a site which has been unused for decades. The GBI Group is responsible for project development in both cases. "This new build project will do a great deal to enhance the attractiveness of our city and the southern railway access point," said Graz's mayor Mag. (M.A.) Siegfried Nagl. Mr. Nagl was speaking on the occasion of the topping-out ceremony, and he also went on to emphasise the importance of developing this particular location. "One of the key outcomes to emerge from a working meeting with Graz's hotel owners in May this year was a desire to strengthen the city's brand identity as a tourism and conference destination. This venture is a vital piece of the jigsaw. It will also create extensive accommodation facilities for visitors in an outstanding location. Students who come to Graz because of our reputation as a city of research and development will also be able to find a temporary home." The SMARTments student block will be completed in the spring of 2020, and the IntercityHotel itself is scheduled to open in the autumn of the same year. Both the buildings and a joint underground car park providing 75 spaces are being finished by the construction company Granit, which is also acting as general contractor.
