Marriott International’s Luxury Collection brand has made a grand debut in Germany with the opening of Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel, in Munich. This elegant new addition is located in the heart of the city at the historic Stachus Square, seamlessly blending modern luxury with local Bavarian charm.

Designed by the renowned Nieto Sobejano Architects and Landau + Kindelbacher, Koenigshof captures Munich's rich heritage while offering a fresh, contemporary aesthetic. The hotel's striking design features include louvered structures, large gold walls, and an impressive atrium that connects the interior to the bustling Stachus Square, embodying a concept of "Stachus Serenity."

Koenigshof boasts 106 beautifully appointed guest rooms and suites. Each room showcases curated artworks by local Bavarian artists, dark wood-paneled walls, neutral-toned fabrics, and floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning city views. The rooms also offer unique local touches such as welcome cards by Munich designer Alexandra von Frankenberg, a custom Koenigshof fragrance, and the exclusive “Munich Serenity” tea crafted in collaboration with Samova Tea. Modern amenities include Byredo toiletries, Nespresso machines, Dyson Supersonic hairdryers, and Bose Bluetooth speakers.

The highlight is the 250-square-meter split-level Presidential Suite, the largest in Munich. This suite features a private sauna, a pool with massage jets, and a private spa, providing guests with an ultimate luxury experience.

Dining at Koenigshof is an experience in itself, with three distinct culinary destinations. The ninth-floor Greta Oto Munich, a Latin American restaurant led by Peruvian chef Michael Cánepa, offers panoramic city views and a vibrant atmosphere that transitions into a club-like scene on weekends. Guests can enjoy Amazonian cocktails at the adjacent bar or on the rooftop terrace.

The Green is a serene lounge serving local delicacies, including the specially crafted Koenigshof tea and the signature “Koenigshof-Torte,” a unique take on the Bavarian Prinzregententorte. The Gold lounge on the third floor offers a tranquil space to unwind with a curated selection of books and artwork, complemented by stunning views of the city and the Bavarian Alps.

Koenigshof provides exceptional spaces for private events. The View on the ninth floor accommodates up to 50 guests and features a private bar, lounge, and terrace with breathtaking city and mountain views. For more intimate gatherings, The Studio on the third floor offers a cozy setting for up to 12 guests.

Guests can also immerse themselves in local culture through guided tours of Munich, led by the hotel's concierge. These tours include visits to Viktualienmarkt, where guests can sample traditional Bavarian products and exclusive local foods.

The opening of Koenigshof marks a significant milestone for The Luxury Collection, bringing its unique ethos and enriching experiences to Germany. “This property embodies the tapestry of Munich's cosmopolitan culture,” says Philipp Weghmann, Vice President and Global Brand Leader of The Luxury Collection. “We are thrilled to offer guests an unparalleled blend of luxury hospitality and local flair.”

Helen Leighton, Vice President, Luxury Brands, Europe, Middle East, and Africa, Marriott International, adds, “Munich is a dynamic and artistic city, making it a natural fit for The Luxury Collection. We look forward to welcoming global explorers to this enchanting destination.”
