Where to stay
Louis Hotel
An exceptional boutique hotel for culture vultures with 72 rooms , conveniently located a stone ’ s throw away from Marienplatz , Maximilianstrasse and the Bavarian Opera , and overlooking Viktualienmarkt . The design of the hotel is dedicated to the history of Ludwig II — the most eccentric Bavarian king who loved to travel and seek out some exciting and new experiences , and who built the famous Neuschweinstein castle .
Handmade walnut and oak furniture , natural stone and expensive bathroom ceramic tiles create a cozy environment with an understated bourgeois chic . The Louis Grillroom restaurant is the pride of the hotel , which specializes in dishes from rare premium meats supplied from the very best farmers from all around the world ( they are selected by a dedicated team ), combined with a variety of vegetable side dishes and a selection of sparkling wines from California and the Moselle Valley that have no equal . Lovers of healthy food will be excited by a vegetarian breakfast buffet with freshly squeezed juices and organic coffee . Weather permitting , a veranda on the top floor is open overlooking the towers of Frauenkirche , Munich ’ s number one church .
Corintiina Hotel
This hotel is the darling of the German press . Vogue Germany , for example , named it Hotel of the Month , and Manager Magazin added it to the Top-10 Best Boutique Hotels in Germany . Its clients are cosmopolitan , contemporary , fallen in love with interior design , and adore the carpets handcrafted in Munich , the armchairs by Eric Schmitt and the Vola taps and accessories . The owners of the hotel emphasize that they used only natural materials in the interiors : bog oak , Jurassic marble , bronze , and natural flax . The walls are covered with mineral paints ( and some panels are even painted with horsehair ), and the wooden floors are treated exclusively with natural oils .
All 75 rooms are decorated with photographs by Olaf Unverzart , the lobby - with lithographs by Ellsworth Kelly , and the Grapes bar features an original painting by the German neo-expressionist Georg Baselitz , whose works of art command higher prices than almost any other artist alive today . The practical benefits of the hotel : all chambermaids work full-time , and pets are allowed . Wine lovers are also in for a treat here : the Grapes bar boasts a fascinating wine list with a focus to biodynamics and its very own gastronomic menu . Eighteen months ago they even launched their own signature wine - a blend of Pinot Gris , Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay .
