Meeting in Styria means meeting in nature

Coming together in Styria means getting to know each other in the green, in harmony with nature and the surrounding landscapes. From individual boutique seminar hotels to congress centres, the entire sector focuses on the natural environment and its increasing integration into the various conference concepts.


Styrian conference organisers continue to rely on familiar virtues like culinary delights, culture and relaxation but are on top continuously and devotedly committed to the environment and the sustainable use of nature. Whether in the alpine regions of northern Styria, close to the Dachstein Glacier, in the urban City of Design, Graz, or in the Mediterranean wine area of Southern Styria, the entire sector, from boutique seminar hotels to congress centres, focuses on the natural environment and its increased integration into the various conference concepts.

Austria’s first completely energy-self-sufficient business hotel

In Graz for instance, Steiermarkhof, known for its spacious seminar garden, will reopen in 2024 with new seminar hotel rooms as a congress house in a green setting. As a new member, the Green Business Hotel in Graz lives up to its name with its own lake and garden on the edge of the city centre. The Hi5-Hotel Seiersberg, Austria’s first completely energy-self-sufficient business hotel, with cosy long-stay units and ideal transport links, is breaking new, visionary ground. 

Combine this with the range of new hide-aways and individual seminar locations such as Landgut Riegerbauer, Landgut am Pößnitzberg, Das Zeitwert or the Wine & Spa Hotel LOISIUM (also represented at Conventa 2024), and together with widespread congress houses also on the countryside, you are reaching a great green conference destination with a clear message: sustainability and nature experience build the future of the MICE-business in the Green Heart of Austria.
