Graz Hotels with Spa and Wellness for Families
9 family-friendly hotels with spa & wellness in Graz . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Graz is Austria's second city, a compact place on the Mur river where most sights are within walking distance of the old town. Its spa hotels are city hotels rather than resorts, so the question for a family is which ones have a pool children can use. Four do: Schlossberghotel has a rooftop pool with city views, Augarten Art Hotel and Hotel Süd Graz have indoor pools, and Parkhotel Graz has a swimming pool with two saunas. The other five, including Lendhotel and Hotel Gollner, offer saunas or wellness areas that mostly serve the parents. Almost all of them accept pets.
Graz sits on the Mur in the south-east of Austria, with the Schlossberg hill and its clock tower above the old town on the east bank and the Lend district across the river. The centre is walkable, and the Murinsel, a floating platform on the river, links the two banks. The hotels on this list are mostly in or near that centre, with Hotel Süd Graz to the south and Der Marienhof in a quieter residential district.

🧖Why Graz is Great for Hotels with Spa & Wellness
In Graz a spa hotel is useful with children mainly when it has a pool: after a morning on the Schlossberg or in the old town, an hour in the water is what gets younger children through the afternoon, while a sauna alone is time for the parents.
Schlossberghotel is the address I would start with. It is the only five-star on the list, set in central Graz at the foot of the Schlossberg, with a rooftop pool overlooking the city, a spa and a gym. It offers family suites, and its apartments have a kitchenette, which helps with young children. It scores 9.1 from 1,568 reviews and also rents bikes. For a family that wants to walk to the old town and still have a pool at the end of the day, this is the clearest match, and the Schlossberg itself, with its clock tower, is right behind the hotel.
Two four-star design hotels add indoor pools. Augarten Art Hotel, about one kilometre from the centre, has an indoor pool, a spa with a sauna and a steam bath, a fitness room, family suites and bike rental, rated 9.1 from 2,126 reviews. Hotel Süd Graz, in the south of the city about a 20-minute drive from the old town, has an indoor pool, a sauna, an infrared cabin and family suites, rated 9.0. I would choose Augarten for walking into town and Hotel Süd Graz for a family arriving by car that prefers a quieter location.
Parkhotel Graz, a four-star in the centre with a garden, a gourmet restaurant and a large car park, has a swimming pool, two saunas and a fitness centre, rated 8.9. Lendhotel, the most reviewed hotel here with 2,221 reviews and a 9.2 score, sits in the Lend district a short walk from the clock tower and the old town; it has a spa and wellness area and bike rental, but no pool is mentioned. Aiola Living, a boutique hotel in the old town, has spa facilities too. I would book these two for their location rather than for the wellness side.
The last three suit specific needs. Hotel Gollner, two minutes' walk from the opera, has family suites, a wellness area, a 24-hour lobby bar and a breakfast buffet on its sun terrace. Der Marienhof Hotel Garni, family-run in a quiet district, adds a playground and a game room to its wellness facilities, with family suites, bike rental and free parking, which makes it the most child-oriented of the smaller hotels. Aparthotel Lavilo City Center, a minute from the town hall, has family rooms with kitchenettes. For self-catering families, I would compare Lavilo with the Schlossberghotel apartments.
Parent's take
I would book Schlossberghotel for a family spa stay in Graz: its rooftop pool, family suites and kitchenette apartments sit right under the Schlossberg, within walking distance of everything. Augarten Art Hotel is my alternative, with an indoor pool and a steam bath one kilometre from the centre. With toddlers, I would look at Der Marienhof for its playground and game room. For the other city hotels, I would treat the spa as a bonus for the parents rather than a reason to book.
