Graz-based artist Carola Deutsch shows the colourful facets of her hometown

From old to new to colourful
Our Motel One Graz is located in a building with a long history: the Dorotheum on Jakominiplatz used to be a magnificent department store before pragmatic concrete chic moved in during the 1970s. Now there is new splendour in old (building) substance, as both outside and inside, historical elements have been taken up and translated into the present day.

Oldie but Goldie
The reminiscences of its former elegance are played out primarily through architectural features. Stucco decorations, wallpaper patterns or the traditional herringbone parquet flooring on the reception and bar counter front skilfully pick up style elements of the past without appearing dusty.

Up, up, up
Finally and indeed true to the artistic motto, the lift, whose glazed shaft was also designed by DECASA, transports you over the roofs of Graz. Through an explosion of colour in the colours of the Graz city map - blue for water, green for forest, red for public transport, yellow and black for the road network - you travel up!
