Accommodation: A landmark hotel in downtown Munich
The century-old villa is located in the historical centre of Munich, just a minute's walk from the Maximilianstrasse, one of the most famous shopping streets in Germany, and five minutes from the Opera House. The art nouveau residence was built in 1898 for guests of the royal Bavarian court. After it was acquired by its current owner in 1976, the landmark building was carefully renovated and converted into a sophisticated boutique hotel. No two rooms are alike, and each was decorated with meticulous attention to style, atmosphere and comfort.
