History
Andreas Haring had Hotel Florian built on the Mur and finished it in 1872. Johann Weitzer first leased, then bought it, and renamed it Hotel Weitzer in 1910, passing it to his son Sepp. Hans Helmut Weitzer took over in 1963 and added a six-story wing in 1986 and 1987. Florian Weitzer has led the company since 2003. A neighboring house at the corner of Arche-Noah-Gasse, core from the 17th century and rebuilt in 1861, was demolished in 1975 for an extension. Its 1767 door stands inside the hotel.
The setting
Grieskai 12-14, 8020 Graz, on the Gries bank of the Mur, with the Schlossberg across the water. The Grand Hôtel Wiesler is a few doors north on the same quay. This is Gries, not the old town.
