The Luxury Collection, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s portfolio of over 30 hotel brands, has announced the highly anticipated opening of Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Munich. Situated in the heart of Munich’s historical “Stachus” Square, this property marks The Luxury Collection brand’s debut in Germany. Designed by internationally acclaimed architect Nieto Sobejano, the hotel has captured the timeless sophistication and attitude of Munich with a new, contemporary design, which beautifully embodies the city’s rich stories and culture, offering unique, transformative experiences in the Bavarian capital.
“The opening of Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Munich signifies a significant milestone for the brand as it will be The Luxury Collection’s foray into Germany - a vibrant and enticing destination for luxury travel,” said Philipp Weghmann, Vice President and Global Brand Leader of The Luxury Collection.
“This property marks a fitting entrance, embodying the tapestry of the country’s cosmopolitan culture. By introducing the brand’s unique ethos and enriching experiences to the exceptional city of Munich, this property is poised to offer guests an unparalleled blend of luxury hospitality and local flair.”
At the helm of the transformation, Nieto Sobejano Architects and Landau + Kindelbacher ensured that this next chapter of the historic building’s heritage is honoured while reinterpreting the sense of luxury in a modern way. Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into a breathtaking, spacious atrium introducing the hotel’s design concept of “Stachus Serenity”, reflecting individuality and local connectivity. By implementing louvred structures and large, gold-coloured walls, the architectural approach was to open the facade towards the “Stachus” square and establish a connection between the interior and exterior of the hotel, creating a luxury urban retreat.
"Munich is one of Europe’s most dynamic and artistic cities, steeped in history, making it a natural fit for The Luxury Collection - a brand renowned for celebrating authenticity and delivering indigenous hotel experiences,” said Helen Leighton, Vice President, Luxury Brands, Europe, Middle East and Africa, Marriott International.
“Located in the heart of the city, Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Munich opens with contemporary design, impeccable service, and an array of epicurean experiences. We are thrilled to bring the next level of luxury hospitality to Germany and look forward to welcoming global explorers as they unlock this enchanting destination.”
