Parkhotel Graz - Traditional Luxury
Graz, Austria · Independent · Near Luxury
Bakers Maria and August Florian bought the faded Hotel zur Goldenen Birn in 1933 and, on 17 March 1934, reopened it as the Parkhotel: 68 rooms at Leonhardstraße 8, facing the Stadtpark. An inn stood on this corner of Maiffredygasse by 1574, the Goldene Birn name by 1649, and the block guests use now went up in the late 1860s. Philipp and Liliya Florian are the fourth generation, and the Uhrturm suite looks toward the Schlossberg clock.

About Parkhotel Graz - Traditional Luxury
- Carl Follius raised the block in three phases between 1868 and 1873, in a romantic historicist manner, though the original facade has been heavily simplified.
- Kurt Mörth has cooked here since 1981, and Restaurant Florian still serves Tafelspitz and veal Wiener Schnitzel, with summer tables in the courtyard rose garden.
- Since 2016 the hotel has been part of Private City Hotels, a club of owner-run city houses, and the Uhrturm suite is about 80 square meters.
History
An inn at the corner of Maiffredygasse and Leonhardstraße is mentioned in 1574. From 1649 it was the Goldene Birn, a stop on the road in from Hungary. Carl Follius built the present block in three phases from 1868 to 1873. Baker August Florian and Maria Florian bought it in 1933 and reopened it on 17 March 1934 as the Parkhotel. Herbert and Liesl Florian were the second generation, Peter and Sissy the third, and Philipp and Liliya Florian the fourth, from 2013.
