Thinking about tomorrow today
Sustainability
Everyone is talking about thinking, acting and talking sustainably. For us, sustainability means thinking carefully about the impact our actions have on the future. We take this topic very seriously, because with over 60 hotels in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Liechtenstein, it is important for us to do our part.
10% discount for arriving by public transport
Goodbye traffic jam,
hello holidays!
The most relaxed way to start your vacation is with public transport!
By presenting a travel ticket from the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) or similar mobility providers, your stay at JUFA Hotels will be 10% cheaper. We’ll give you a 10% discount on accommodation costs right at check-in. Traveling has never been more fun!
JUFA Hotels and the Red Noses Clowndoctors – they simply belong together. The collaboration began at the end of the 1990s and is characterized by great cooperation. Many great charity campaigns, diverse events and, last but not least, the annual school collection, where the class with the greatest collection success wins a JUFA vacation – we take every opportunity to support the great work of the Red Noses.
So don’t be surprised if you come across a clown in one of our hotels – after all, they need a vacation too.
Children are particularly close to our hearts, especially when their health requires special attention. The Herzkinder association is a contact point for all non-medical concerns and issues for children, young people and their families with heart disease. Those affected can find advice and encouragement here, as well as financial support, of course. Because there also needs to be room for fun and relaxing vacations outside of the illness, we have created the summer holiday weeks together with the Herzkinder.
The affected children and their families have the opportunity – with the best medical care – to experience carefree days away from the difficult everyday life of the disease.
The Styrian Association for People with Disabilities (STVMB) is particularly committed to helping people who are unfortunately often marginalized in our society due to a disability. The STVMB’s annual painting competition encourages school classes to explore the various facets of the topic of integration.
The pictures selected by a jury are rewarded with great prizes for the whole class, and the winning class can look forward to a vacation at JUFA Hotels!
The feeling of being needed and doing something meaningful – this is the idea behind our cooperation with Lebenshilfe in Styria and other regions. The clients of Lebenshilfe are an important support in our daily work.
In many of our hotels, they take care of the outdoor areas, maintenance work and painting. They also support the JUFA teams with housekeeping and office work.
We have enjoyed a partnership of equals with Styria’s largest integration company, Team Styria, for many years. Because anyone who sits down on a chair in our JUFA Hotels or snuggles up in one of the cozy beds will experience the carpentry skills of Team Styria up close.
Together with Rettet das Kind Salzburg, we at JUFA Hotel Salzburg City have set ourselves the goal of training young people with disabilities for the future world of work.
Inclusion is a central and indispensable concept for JUFA Hotels and is not only practiced in Salzburg, but also at other locations.
Indulgence "von hier"
On vacation, it should taste good “naturally”. For this reason, we have relied on sustainable cooperation with regional suppliers and producers and regional added value when purchasing our food for many years. With our own regionality concept, we support local farmers and agricultural businesses by purchasing organically valuable food.
All these measures keep production and added value in the regions and ensure an ecological footprint that fits and a regional experience for every guest.
Look out for one of over 200 “von hier” products at our buffets and you will discover that our suppliers are guaranteed to have the shortest journey to the JUFA Hotel.

Thanks to the energy-saving passive house construction and the use of solar energy for heating and electricity, the hotel’s operation does not pollute the environment with CO2.
The JUFA Hotel Bleiburg/Pliberk*** fulfills the strictest requirements for climate and environmental protection as a state-certified Green Hotel.
Environment and climate protection can be really cool: In the JUFA Energy Park, with many indoor and outdoor stations, energy is made tangible. Crank racetrack, solar power generation, water games and much more. Other environmentally friendly attractions in our 8000m² park include a disc golf course, an outdoor water park, a pedal go cart race track, and bike, e-bike and Segway hire.
Mobility for the future
Reducing CO2 emissions is one of the goals of our contribution to climate protection. Since the JUFA Hotels were founded, we have been offering “vacation experiences without a car”. Due to the central location of most of the hotels, it is possible to travel by public transport. It is also possible to rent a bicycle directly at the hotel or from a partner.
