View of Graz from the terraced garden and swimming pool

Accommodation: A hotel in the Graz old town
The Schlossberg Hotel is ideally located near the river, just a block from the pedestrian heart of Graz. The tasteful decor of this splendid small hotel is refreshing. The mood is set by the exterior, which is composed of three simple shuttered buildings, one painted French blue, one gray, and one yellow. Inside there is a small courtyard, a tiny bar, a comfortable lounge, and two cosy breakfast rooms. The owner, Dr. Marko, is a retired race-car driver. His wife used to own an antique store, and it is her taste for simple, country-style antiques that creates the ambiance. The bedrooms offer all modern conveniences yet still maintain the country feel. From the terrace on the hillside behind the hotel, reached by taking the elevator to the top floor, the view over the tiled rooftops across the river to the cathedral is spectacular. On one terrace level there is a small swimming pool.

Tucked away in a side street: A downtown hotel in Salzburg

Accommodation: A 400-year-old inn
The hotel in the heart of Salzburg offers true charm and warmth. It is tucked away in a narrow side street off the Getreidegasse, Salzburg's famous shopping street. The hotel is named for an elephant brought over the Brenner Pass in 1552 as a gift to the Emperor Maximilian II. The elephant caused such excitement that several inns along the way were renamed Elefant. The house is over 700 years old and has been documented as an inn for the past 400 years. The lobby of the hotel is appealing, with a small reception counter, a cosy group of chairs, a splendid antique desk and a harlequin-patterned marble floor accented by an Oriental carpet. There is a beautiful lounge upstairs where guests can feel at home. Because the building is so old the bedrooms naturally differ in size and shape, but all are attractively decorated in the traditional style.
