Attend a meeting, then stay the night

The Gartenhotel Ochensberger lies only 25 kilometres away from Graz in the idyllic municipality of St. Ruprecht. The event location not only features spacious parks and excellently equipped and bright seminar rooms, but also welcomes overnight stays. The hotel has 50 double and 11 single rooms in five different categories. Varying in size between 23 and 29 square metres, the rooms are decorated in elegant country house style. High-quality furniture crafted by regional partners, harmonious colours, coordinated lighting and balconies as well as terraces all ensure an abundance of wellbeing from the very first minute the guest walks in.

On the eve of your overnight stay, treat yourself to a three- or four-course dinner, made with only the very best seasonal and regional ingredients. Enjoy the culinary delights from the restaurant that has been awarded two Falstaff Forks. A large breakfast is served in the morning for the perfect start to the day. For longer stays, be sure to pay a visit to the 1,000-square-metre spa area or explore the beautiful countryside – the picturesque eastern region of Styria is not called the “Garden of Austria” without reason.

Temple 74 in the Bregenz Forest is not only the ideal place to hold meetings, but it’s also perfect for overnight stays. The complex consists of two apartment buildings connected to each other by a large lounge that functions as a meeting area. The characteristic construction culture of the Bregenz Forest is omnipresent in Temple 74. This is evident in the region's traditional, rural craftsmanship reflected in fine details like the traditional diamond-shaped windows.

Natural materials, the scent of wood, atmospheric lighting and soft fabrics guarantee wholesome cosiness in all ten apartments. Additionally, each flat has its own loggia with a magnificent view of the village and a natural scenery of unparalleled beauty. The sauna and the open fireplace in the meeting room provide for special feel-good moments, too. Since the hospitality and the lovingly furnished apartments are so inviting, staying the night is a good choice, especially since the lush countryside can hardly be explored in just one day.

Multi-day conferences can easily be organised in Austria's only hotel on an island. The location not only has conference space that holds up to 70 people, but also has 32 double rooms with lake views in five different categories. Many of the rooms even boast their own balcony. Borrow beach towels, deck chairs and umbrellas from the hotel and spend some relaxing hours at Lake Faaker See. Overnight reservations for event guests, however, are not possible during the peak season in July and August.

After a good night's sleep, the Inselhotel offers its guests a breakfast buffet with many regionally-sourced products. In the evenings, don't miss the elegant four-course menu with magical views of the crystal-clear lake. You can also take advantage of and enjoy the wonderful surroundings around Lake Faaker See, the sports facilities on the island and the in-house sauna in the historic bathhouse.

Wald 12 combines modern comfort with centuries-old tradition. Surrounded by mighty mountains, the heritage-listed farmhouse is located in the village of Wald am Arlberg. The hospitality and heartiness of the event location is also reflected in all ten single and double rooms, which allow for events lasting several days. All bedrooms and bathrooms were furnished by local craftspeople who show great attention to detail, therefore promising a high degree of authenticity and comfort.

Are you looking for fresh inspiration? Do you want to regenerate and feel more energetic again? Or do you want to just escape your stressful daily routine? Then find the peace and quiet you yearn for when you stay at Wald 12. Events in the idyllic Klostertal Valley in the middle of the stunning mountain ranges of Vorarlberg will help decelerate things and bring innovative ideas to light. And since Wald 12 offers full board with breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner, you can rest assured that your culinary wellbeing will naturally also be taken care of during longer stays.
