Best Luxury Hotels in Altstadt-Lehel

Rosewood Munich marks Rosewood Hotels & Resorts’ first venture in Germany. This luxury hotel, spread across the former Bavarian State Bank headquarters and the aristocratic Palais Neuhaus-Preysing, embodies a unique fusion of contemporary and historic elements, with a design inspired by the surrounding area. The hotel offers 73 guestrooms and 59 suites, featuring exceptional amenities and bespoke services, including Germany’s first Asaya Spa. Local architectural and interior design talents have meticulously preserved the buildings’ original baroque and rococo grandeur while incorporating modern sophistication. Additionally, the hotel serves as a cultural hub, showcasing local art and offering innovative Bavarian cuisine and a vibrant cocktail scene, all contributing to a holistic luxury experience that respects Munich’s rich heritage.

While the building dates back to 1841, the décor and facilities of the Bayerischer Hof are both modern and very comfortable. Guests can take their pick from some of the most exclusive and elegant suites in the whole city and it is a good idea to book far in advance in order to secure the simply stunning Presidential, Rooftop Panorama. This huge suite feels more like a miniature palace and comes complete with frescoed ceilings, a butler service and a stunning and very large living area complete with an adjoining balcony.

Part of the legendary and very luxurious Four Seasons portfolio, this sumptuous hotel does not disappoint. This historic hotel originally opened its doors in 1858 and was once one of the city’s most modern establishments as it boasted gas lighting and hot water. Although times and expectations from guests have moved on significantly, this hotel is still committed to being at the top of its class. The hotel is located at the Maximilianstrasse and there are 67 large and very luxurious suites for guests to choose from. Unwinding on the huge balcony and taking in the views of the cityscape is a great way to unwind, while the indoor swimming pool is an elegant place to splash around.

As you would expect from a Mandarin Oriental, guests who check into this are treated to nothing but the best. Without a doubt, guests will want to make sure that they secure one of the 25 spacious suites. Each suite combines classic elegance with modern convenience, although the thing that elevates these accommodation options above the rest is their wrap around balconies. The corner suites are by far the most spacious and luxurious and guests will be treated to views out over the historic city centre while they catch up on a little work or simply sit and sip a cocktail or two while the sun sets over the city. The China Moon Rooftop Terrace is the perfect place to swim or dine in style as guests are treated to a range of excellent dishes and drinks as well as an unforgettable 360-degree view of Munich’s cityscape.
