Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Munich opened this week, marking the Marriot brand’s debut in Germany.

“The opening of Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Munich signifies a significant milestone for the brand as it will be The Luxury Collection’s foray into Germany – a vibrant and enticing destination for luxury travel,” said Philipp Weghmann, vice-president and global brand leader of The Luxury Collection. “This property marks a fitting entrance, embodying the tapestry of the country’s cosmopolitan culture. By introducing the brand’s unique ethos and enriching experiences to the exceptional city of Munich, this property is poised to offer guests an unparalleled blend of luxury hospitality and local flair.”

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.

Koenigshof’s crowning jewel is the 2,690-square-foot split-level Presidential Suite on the eighth and ninth floor. As the largest hotel suite in the city, it boasts a private sauna and a pool with  city views. The pool features a counter-current system and seating surfaces with massage jets. A private spa offers high-quality spa products, a relaxation area and lounge with a Smart TV, and a curated room service menu for complete relaxation.

Other highlights of Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel are:

  • A spacious atrium that introduces the hotel’s design concept of “Stachus Serenity,” reflecting individuality and local connectivity;
  • an art collection with pieces from renowned artists such as Joseph Beuys, Christo und Jeanne-Claude, and David John Flynn, which is displayed throughout the hotel and reflects the history of the House of Wittelsback, the former Bavarian ruling family, who were enthusiastic art collectors in the 16th century;
  • and three distinctive dining destinations – GRETA OTO Munich, The Green, and the Gold lounge.

For private events, The View on the ninth floor accommodates up to 50 guests. It features a private bar, lounge, and terrace access with city and mountain views.
