            The Südbahnhotel am Semmering in the background is the Rax mountain range
The Südbahnhotel is a former grand hotel that has existed since 1882 on the Semmering Pass in Austria. It is within sight of the Semmering Railway (Austrian Southern Railway) passing the pass. The Südbahnhotel was the first hotel on the Semmering and contributed significantly to its rise to an important climatic health resort.
emergence
In the 1870s, after the Southern Railway Company had completed its work on the construction of its railway network, it turned to the construction of buildings along the areas served by the railway. The village of Semmering at the top of the pass was easy to reach from Vienna in about two hours thanks to the pioneering work of the Semmering Railway, a section of the southern railway line, and was now to be developed into a holiday and climatic health resort. In this context, the first of a whole series of railway hotels on the southern railway was built here at exactly 1000 m above sea level. The style of the hotels of the Südbahngesellschaft initially followed a uniform scheme, they were planned by railway engineers. As a result, these buildings, whose main stylistic feature is the exposed brick facade, appear very sober on the outside and hardly show any decorative accessories. This sober appearance of the hotels only changed when independent, state-approved architects were commissioned. As a result, the buildings were characterized by the new style of late historicism, which also came into play with a large extension for the Südbahnhotel am Semmering (1901-1903).
