Situated in the heart of Munich’s historical “Stachus” Square, Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel was designed by internationally acclaimed architects Nieto Sobejano, who worked with Landau + Kindelbacher to ensure the history building’s heritage was honored while reinterpreting luxury in a modern way.

The hotel features 106 guestrooms and suites, all of which showcase a blend of spectacular interiors, curated artworks from local Bavarian artists, and state-of-the-art technology. Design details of the guestrooms include dark wood-paneled walls, neutral-toned fabrics, and views of the city through floor-to-ceiling windows. All accommodations feature a touch of local charm, such as welcome cards illustrated by Munich designer Alexandra von Frankenberg, a custom Koenigshof fragrance, and a bespoke “Munich Serenity” tea made exclusively for the hotel in collaboration with Samova Tea. Other in-room amenities include Byredo toiletries, Nespresso machines, Dyson Supersonic hairdryers, and Bose Bluetooth speakers.
