I honestly have fallen a little in love with this place. Liebmann hotel was not our first choice…read morebecause we were looking for something inside the city, and having said that and given the fact that Liebmann hotel is about a 10-15 minute drive outside of Graz it wasn't exactly within the proximity we were looking for. Nevertheless, I am so glad we decided for Liebmann. First and foremost, the remarkable view alone and the serenity of the Styrian countryside is a reason for a stay. It's quite simply breathtaking with the hills and the mountains in the background. They have a dry sauna, steam room, solarium, infrared stuff and even a tanning machine. Moreover, we were spoiled and pampered with theme, candle-lit dinners and frankly just delicious food. I have traveled to 23 countries across four continents and am from San Francisco Bay Area, where the culinary arts are unsurpassed and unparalleled so believe me when I say this as I have standards and it's not every day that I praise a restaurant's food with 5 stars. I do give credit where credit is due and our accommodation at Liebmann hotel was probably what made the entirety of our trip so wholesome and memorable. Thank you. In would definitely come again.

I would have given this place 5 stars without hesitation till as weekend…read more I've been a regular since the Balance Resort opened it's doors some ten years ago. I used to call it my "second living room". (Not to be confused with my "expanded living room", the Cafe Dommayer in Vienna!!) I stayed at the Balance resort on average once a month, I guess. The hotel is a wonderful building within a wonderful landscape - the rolling hills of Styria ("Bucklige Welt"). There is some Japanese influence, a great mix of modern style and warmth, not only in the saunas. Well, that is definitely the other attraction: the spa area with a huge outdoor whirl pool, a beautiful herbal dry sauna at a very pleasant temperature, Tepidarium, white leather relaxation room, two hot saunas, steam room, separate ladies' sauna, and an infinity swimming pool, partially indoors, partially outdoors. Third reason to come here: the restaurant. Always great 5 course dinners to choose from - I've never been disappointed. And an opulent breakfast buffet with the only disadvantage that they force you to wait for you fresh made eggs and omelets. I'd prefer to have the choice to take the not-so-fresh-made scrambled eggs from the holding furnace instead of standing in line for 5 minutes. (I hate standing in line.) So why the remarkable decuction of 2 stars? This place has become a rip-off. They raised their steep prices by another third within the last months!!!! I was shocked when I got to know the room rate for this weekend (Fri-Sat) - the rates rose by almost a third to over EUR 200.- per person per night. Rates are now calculated on a daily basis I was informed - which makes it quite unreasonable to book short-term. (I often used to decide to come here just the day before.) Same for spa prices. To illustrate it, a quick pedicure used to be 38.- plus 8.- for nail polish - quite steep anyway. But it feels good to have clean and shiny toe nails when you're walking in flip flops through the spa all day long, so I made it a routine to have my pedi first thing after arrival. However, yesterday was my last pedi at the Balance Resort. They increased the price by one third to EUR 49.- + 12.- for polish (which does not even include a top coat)!!!! A simple pedicure is not worth EUR 61.- even if it's in a nice room. As a previous reviewer stated, they seem to have a marketing strategy that tries to attract families now, probably at much lower rates than I paid. That must be the marketing strategy behind it: throw-away prices for families at the cost of horrendous prices for individual travelers. I love kids, I work with kids, but the Balance Resort is NOT the place for kids. It is conceptualized as a peaceful, relaxing retreat. Parents, come here to get some couple time instead. So far the story of my second living room... With this weekend, you've lost one of your regular spontaneous guests with your new pricing, Balance Resort. And you've lost a pedicure customer, too.
