Das Friedrich
4-star comfort in Knittelfeld with easy parking
About this hotel
Knittelfeld is one of the larger towns in the Murtal valley, and Das Friedrich brings a genuine 4-star standard to a region otherwise dominated by small family-run guesthouses, real amenities rather than the bare basics, dependable parking on race morning, and rooms built for a proper night's rest rather than a tent-adjacent bunk. With 383 reviews and an 8.9 rating, it has built a track record across multiple race weekends of handling families and groups who want the reliability of a bigger hotel without sacrificing reasonable distance to Red Bull Ring. Knittelfeld itself offers more restaurants and shops than the smaller circuit-adjacent villages, giving guests somewhere to actually spend an evening beyond the hotel bar.
- 4-star comfort
- Race-day parking
- Knittelfeld town centre
Our take
Das Friedrich suits families and groups who want proper 4-star comfort and don't mind trading a few extra minutes of drive time to Red Bull Ring for a larger town with more to do in the evening. It isn't for fans chasing a circuit-adjacent farmhouse experience. For anyone prioritising room quality and reliable parking over proximity, it delivers consistently.
- ✓Book race weekend dates months ahead, since Das Friedrich's 4-star standard and 8.9 rating make it one of the first properties in Knittelfeld to sell out.
- ✓Confirm parking is reserved for your stay specifically on race weekend, since demand spikes well beyond a normal Knittelfeld weekend.
- ✓Use Knittelfeld's town centre restaurants for dinner rather than relying only on the hotel, since the town offers more variety than smaller circuit villages.
Why we love it
