Lendhotel Graz — the Lendplatz location, routes and what lies around it

quiet€ 80–130 / night20 min to Hauptplatz

Grüne Gasse 2, Lend, 8020 Graz

The Lendhotel stands west of the Mur, in the quarter around the Lendplatz. This is the other side of the river: between the house and the old town lie the water and a bridge. Lend was a working and artisan district for a long time and is today the area where galleries, coffee roasters and small bars have settled in among workshops and international grocers. Anyone expecting a closed historic backdrop is in the wrong place — Lend is mixed, in its buildings as much as socially.

In practice that means: what you need in the evening is in the radius. The Lendplatz with its market is just around the corner, along with several supermarkets right on the street, a good dozen cafés and as many restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity — regional cooking alongside Italian, Croatian and African. What is missing is the tram: the nearest stops are at the Keplerbrücke and at the Roseggerhaus, which is a noticeable detour. The way into the old town crosses the Mur, a clear walk but not a long one. The main station lies a good stretch to the west.

This suits travellers who want to set out on foot in the evening without taking transport first, and who find a quarter in transition more interesting than a picture-postcard backdrop. It expressly does not suit guests who depend on a stop outside the door, anyone with an early train and heavy luggage, or travellers who need quiet: the house stands on a road that carries traffic, and the density of bars around it brings an evening crowd with it. The guide price is 80 to 130 euros a night.
