“The idea was not only to open another luxury hotel in Munich, but also to convey the Munich lifestyle alongside an international free spirit,” explains Michael Wagner, COO of MHP Hotel AG. "For us, this means the hotel doesn’t just welcome overnight guests but, equally, acts as a popular spot for Munich residents. To achieve this, we not only created a fantastic rooftop bar with a view over the city, but also developed a unique gastronomy concept for Munich.”

The Koenigshof, designed by Nieto Sobejano Architects and Landau + Kindelbacher, welcomes its guests in a spacious atrium. Slatted volumes and large, gold-colored walls open up to historic Stachus, otherwise known as Karlsplatz, providing connection between the interior and exterior of the hotel, give it the feel of a luxurious urban sanctuary. Throughout the interiors, art plays a key role. The collection on display represents internationally-renowned artists such as Joseph Beuys, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and David John Flynn, among many others, and complements the hotel's architecture and interior design.

A minimalist design comprising simple, rectilinear forms and timeless stone surfaces creates a sense of tranquility and balance in each of the Koenighof’s bathrooms. To continue the luxurious yet relaxed atmosphere of the hotels in the bathrooms, a selection of Axor products oft he collections One and Starck complements the interior design: The one-lever basin faucets at the washbasins and the thermostate modules and jet hand showers for the bath, all in Brushed Black Chrome, are designed to exude a superior elegance. The stone surfaces at the bathtubs and the washbasins plays visually with the wall-mounted Axor products and the colour of the wall design itself.

The rooms themselves and the food-and-beverage concept are intended to convey a feeling of Munich exclusivity. This is ensured by personalised welcome cards with illustrations by Munich designer Alexandra von Frankenberg, a fragrance created especially for the Koenigshof and specially created delicacies such as the Koenigshof tea, the Koenigshof Bellini or the teatime highlight, the Koenigshof cake - a Bavarian Prince Regent cake. Whether breakfast with a local dishes or Latin American cuisine, the Koenigshof offers culinary delights on different levels: from the day bar to the rooftop restaurant with roof terrace including a unique panoramic view over Munich.
