PB hotel design editorial

Perforated steel balustrades, raw concrete soffits, and floor-to-ceiling aluminium-framed glazing give the Augarten Art Hotel in Graz a structural candour unusual for Austrian hospitality — this is a building that makes no attempt to soften its modernist bones. Designed by Graz-based architect Markus Pernthaler and opened in 2012, the nine-storey property sits in the Jakomini district with the directness of a convinced idea: exposed concrete ceilings run through the corridors and terraces, perforated metal screens cast diagonal shadow patterns across the glazed gallery walkways, and the building's rooftop lettering — visible punching through upper-floor windows in blue steel — functions as both signage and sculpture. Inside, the interiors hold a consistent dialogue between Modernist furniture canon and original commissioned art. Le Corbusier LC2 armchairs in white leather anchor the common-area seating, paired against large-format abstract canvases in vivid colour — a deliberate counterpoint to the building's cool grey envelope. Guest rooms carry the same spare logic: oak-plank floors, floor-to-ceiling glazing framing rooftop views of Graz, and individual pieces like a copper-framed wire lounge chair that place the rooms closer to a design collector's apartment than a conventional hotel. The indoor pool, fitted beneath a steel-truss roof open to a glass wall, carries a large figurative mosaic in cobalt and gold on its end wall — the strongest gesture toward warmth in an otherwise rigorously restrained property.

"Everything was perfect, I have no complaints, very neat and clean - the rooms and all other areas, and I especially have to highlight the rich breakfast and the beautiful swimming pool and fitness center within the hotel."

"I loved this hotel! It was one of the best I have stayed in for a long time. I visited in August for a conference being held at the University. The staff were delightful - incredibly warm, friendly and helpful. The whole place had a very personal feel. My room was very comfortable and well designed, with a balcony protected by a grille which allowed one to sit outside and feel the sunshine but not get too hot (it was VERY hot!) or sunburned. It also made it possible to work outside on a laptop which is often difficult. There is a small gym, pool and spa (sauna/steam room) downstairs, and it's also possible to book rooftop yoga classes. I tried this one evening and what a lovely experience is was: yoga with views over the city and a glass of wine to finish :) It's an easy walk into town, just 10 mins. There is also a great restaurant just behind the hotel which is very convenient if you are working and don't have a lot of time to go out. And the breakfasts in the hotel are delicious, great quality and lots of choice. The only thing I can think of as an improvement would be possibly to have foam pillows as well as feather (this is personal preference as I am not a fan of a feather pillow!) and all the dratted summer mosquitoes - which are annoying but not the hotel's fault. All in all, a great place to stay!"

"The hotel is nothing as advertised. Bad pillows. The electric blinds did not work. No tea cups… very disappointing experience!"

"This hotel has i) the friendliest reception staff, ii) the smoothest check-in, iii) the by far nicest designed rooms (yes, form follows function here), iv) the best beds - I slept 13 hours like a baby, v) a superbly quiet location, vi) everything in pristine condition, vii) a perfectly relialbe WLAN and I could go on and on and on. Just top notch from every angle. Facilities are 24/7 - pool and bar - so you don't get squeezed into any schedule (needless to say that no one takes a swim at 3am but just knowing that you could is a luxury). The art all over the hotel and in the room is breathtaking. Just pure perfection. Besides the hardward, I also firmly believe that management is treating their staff with respect and gives them room to develop themselves. You feel that immediately. Everyone is friendly and helpful. Having your own peopl and treating them very well pays out, no doubt about that. Cannot wait to get back. Loved it."

"Good location, allowing for an exploration if Graz’s Old Town. Nice breakfast. Nice staff. The amount of artwork in the hotel justifies the name Art Hotel, however, there is so much artwork, that at times, it is a bit overwhelming. Recommend choice when visiting Graz!"
