Old Town district of Munich, tucked away from the tourist bustle, the

of world renowned restaurants and bars on the premises. At a world class
luxury hotel you don’t want to just feel comfortable, you want
to feel at home and the stylish ambience and sumptuous furnishings at
the Bayerischerhof won’t disappoint, with state-of-the-art multimedia
technology and 24 hour room service. With over fifty suites at the Bayerischerhof
of Munich, you could open a pure suites hotel for these alone. The individual
rooms feature a range of styles from the classic elegance of the Palais
Monteglas wing to the exotic Paradise Island suite.
King Ludwig I, who
brought Bavaria into the modern world of states, desired a comfortable
accommodation
for his personal guests and visiting
dignitaries. In 1839 the Ritter (knight) Joseph Anton von Maffei purchased
the guesthouse located on the Promenade Platz and commissioned architect
Friedrich von Gärtner to build a hotel, opening two years later.
The hotel was the showplace of the Bavarian capital in the royal district
of the old town just blocks from the Residence Palace. The hotel was
purchased in 1897 by Herrmann Volkhardt and has been in the Volkhardt
family ever since. The old Bayerischer Hof was nearly leveled in allied
bombing of Munich in April of 1944. Rebuilt after the war, more exclusive
than before, the Bayerischer Hof was incorporated with the former Palais
Montgelas next door and reopened for the Munich Olympics of 1972, becoming
a member of "The Leading Hotels of the World" and the first
German hotel among the "Preferred Hotels and Resorts Worldwide" in
1974.
Pamper your cares
in the Blue Spa, “Sanus per aquam” in
Latin, the crowning glory of architect Andrée Putman. Where better
to relax and revitalize the body and the soul this rooftop oasis of lush
gardens with its sun terrace of Munich views around the aguamaine pool.
In good weather, swim under the open sky of the sliding glass roof. If
the weather is inclement the glass closes and the cosy fireplace of poolside
Blue Spa Bar, beckons for a libation. For dining and drinking, the Bayerisher
Hof offers Michelin stars and the rare one-of-a-kind experience with
5 restaurants and 6 bars. The
Atelier Restaurant, impressive, yet still inviting. The atmosphere
of Atelier at the Bayerischerhof,
created by Belgian art dealer and designer
Axel Vervoordt makes for an encounter with fine art while dining on
fine haut cuisine. An intimate restaurant with a Michelin star and
17 Gault
Millau points, the seasonal creative menu of regional and international
influences by the team of head chef Steffen Mezger and manager Enrico
Spannenkrebs will delight with first-class service and a selection
of first class wines. Tuck into the snug Privé for a romantic
tryst or shelter under the maple trees on the terrace of the Silent
Garden. You
can’t get more Bavarian than the vaulted cavern cellars of
the Palais Keller. Dating from 1425 long before the hotel, this underground
hideaway was originally used as
a storeroom of for salt salt store, and now the Palais Keller welcomes
guests from around the world looking to
enjoy the traditional Bavarian specialties of Munich, featuring beers
from the “fass” and warm pretzels straight from the oven.
Few
bars can claim to a legend before opening, but the new Falk's Bar at
the Bayerischerhof
just might.
Located in the Mirror Hall (Spiegelsaal)which
dates back 1839, and the only room in the BayerischerHof to have survived
the ravages of World War II undamaged. The blend of the modern and the
traditional makes it a recent favorite meeting spot of Munich's nightlife.
And who could miss a stop downstairs at of the world famous Trader Vic’s.
A journey into another world far away from Munich, with its specialty
flaming drinks and Polynesian-Asian cuisine in the atmosphere the South
Pacific Islands, located down the stairs from the lobby. This icon of
the 1960s “Tiki Bar” that invented the Mai Tai and the flaming
Tiki Puka Puka in California but exported around the world, the Trader
Vic’s at the Bayerischerhof is the last remaining of the original
unique Polynesian chic designs. © Bargain
