Christie & Co’s analysis highlights that Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck continue to benefit from strong price levels and demand fundamentals. Graz, by contrast, faces disproportionately high supply growth, while Linz maintains solid but more moderate performance levels. Against the backdrop of approximately 28% cumulative inflation since 2019, real yield assessment is gaining importance.
- Vienna remained the most dynamic market in 2025. Demand is driven by European markets and fast‑growing long‑haul segments. The city benefits from value‑oriented demand that supports higher rates.
- Salzburg showed moderate demand growth but very strong revenue performance. Only slight supply growth supports price stability.
- Innsbruck showed a balanced relationship between supply and demand. The market benefits from a stable guest structure and high price acceptance.
- Graz has seen rising demand since 2019, but supply has grown significantly faster. Strong capacity expansion is causing declining occupancy and intensified competition.
- Linz records stable demand growth, but more modest revenue increases compared to other markets. Occupancy remains below pre‑crisis levels, with demand dominated by the national market.
“Austria’s urban hotel markets present a robust overall picture for 2025. At the same time, it becomes clear that real profitability can only be evaluated in the context of cost developments. Some markets benefit from stable demand structures, while others face noticeably increasing competition,” says Manuel Strasser, Associate Director at Christie & Co.
