Dating back to 1841, the historic Bayerischer Hof, located directly in Munich’s fashionable shopping district, is one of the city’s most grand hotels. With its marble finishes, opulent antiques, historic artworks and discreet, personal service, it is no surprise the ultra-luxurious hotel is a popular choice for visiting celebrities and honoured guests of State.

The hotel’s chic rooms and suites are the epitome of elegance and come in a number of styles, with each featuring individual design. There is an astounding choice of stunning suites, from lovely junior suites through to our favourite, the exclusively appointed two-bedroom Panorama Suite. This elegant Tower suite boasts a spa in its generous marble bathroom and a glass-fronted gallery bedroom with views over Munich’s skyline.

Bayerischer Hof’s five restaurants and six bars mean gourmands will be spoilt for choice. Two Michelin-starred Atelier offers the finest regional and international culinary creations. Roofgarden’s summer terrace is the spot for classic cuisine and Palais Keller is a historical vault offering Bavarian specialties, beers fresh from the keg and pretzels from its own bakery. There’s also a Trader Vic’s serving up Polynesian specialties from the wok and Blue Spa Lounge with its winter garden and terrace offering more healthy choices.

When it is time for a relaxing beverage, head to the modern, award-winning Falk‘s Bar, located in the historical mirror hall or to Blue Spa Bar for legendary cocktails, which you can enjoy while soaking up stunning views over the historic city centre. There’s also the Night Club and Piano Bar where you can indulge in cocktails and snacks to a live music soundtrack.

After a busy day in the city, enjoy the ultimate in pampering and relaxation in a lush roof garden at The Blue Spa. Situated high above the Munich skyline, this unique four-storey wellness retreat offers a menu of rejuvenating beauty and massage treatments, a variety of saunas and steam baths.

There is also a gym with scenic city views, a sun terrace and an incredible indoor pool that transforms into an open-air pool thanks to its sliding glass roof.
