The combination of state-of-the-art technology and old traditions that makes Munich so unique forms a sense of tension that can be found throughout the hotel design. The ceiling structure illustrates this contrast via a literally interwoven network of rough wood and high-gloss anodised metal. The connecting axis between the different areas which brings all functions together in a single hybrid space ('we share') is a lively place to meet and mingle. The many facets of Bavarian culture run like a leitmotif through the design. This is reflected from the largest scale to the smallest details; for example, the diamond shape (the Bavarian flag) is placed over the whole layout like a matrix, while details like deer horn buttons on the cushions remind of Bavarian fashion. Many icons associated with the city of Munich have been reinterpreted or abstracted as small highlights drizzled throughout the hotel, while traditional materials have been given a modern interpretation via a contemporary design language.




the lounge immediately has an impressive effect on the guests with the oversized diamond pattern of the natural stone floor mirrored on the ceiling by back-lit diamond shapes. The diamond-shaped columns in the entrance area are two storeys high and feature several nearly seven-metre high video screens that stream the Munich skies while guests informally check in. Like a lively street, the central 'we share' common area runs through the lounge, blending the different areas together. Its modern interpretation of a Stammtisch and giant green islands with tree-like inspired lampshade sculptures bring the area to life. The diamond-shaped bar, situated in the heart of the lounge, is its focal point: it is crowned by a light sculpture with more than 3000 faceted crystal balls that disseminate radiant light.






‘M’Uniqo’ When stepping off the lift at the highest point of the building, guests will be rewarded with a panoramic view over Munich. Embedded in an exclusive range of materials in brass and petrol tones, M’Uniqo is all about opulence and richness. Centred around an iconic bottle rack, the five-metre high bar has a core covered in back-lit shelves, with hundreds of bottles reflected in the mirror ceiling. Sampling Italian cicchettis and nipping vermouth from crystal glasses, visitors are welcome to sink into the deep blue velvet sofas or enjoy the cosmopolitan atmosphere at the long bar tables. The half-covered rooftop bar with spacious lounge seating area on top of the hotel creates a sense of being on a short vacation, surrounded by a palette of blues featured in the cushions and bright blue glasses of the bottle rack. Whether from a rocking chair, the porch swing or a bar table, with a little luck guests can see the Alps glowing in the distance.
