The most effective help for you to make your selection and booking of an accomodation convenient is presumably a useful hotel booking website. Favorably, the Graz Tourist Office offers a rather good online reservation site. Following the link below you will find all relevant information for selecting and booking the hotel/room of your choice, usually together with nice how-to-get-there maps (the page can also be accessed via the Graz Tourism Website).

Please, book as soon as possible!

As you may not want to take the time to dig out your choice via the above website only, we have in addition prepared a small set of recommended hotels of different categories below, including detailed coordinates and a few hints on their character for your convenience.

Please have a look at the map of Graz

Most of the hotels are located in the city center area and all are with good and frequent public (tramway or bus) connection to it.

In some of these hotels we have secured a block pre-reservation for the period September 6 - 11, 2010, which is held valid until the end of July 2010. These are marked with "block pre-reservation" in the list below; please mention the keywords "Wegener Center and/or OPAC" when making a reservation in one of them. Prices are subject to be changed occasionally by the hotels.

Note that during the week of the OPAC 2010 Workshop there will be a lot of other meetings and touristic activity in Graz as well. Thus, in order to ensure that you really get what you want, we encourage you to book as soon as possible. We will do our best to enable a great and successful workshop, and a good time for you during the days; we wish that an uncomfortable accomodation should not "disturb" your stay. If you face problems and need help please contact us.
