Mandarin Oriental Munich is a boutique hotel inside a neo-renaissance building from 1875–1880, originally constructed under King Ludwig II — and now home to 73 rooms and 24 suites in the heart of Munich's old town. The scale is intimate by design; the building's history adds substance the modern brands can't easily replicate.
The wellness floor pairs a traditional Finnish sauna with a Turkish steam bath and a fully equipped fitness studio. The headline is the rooftop terrace: a heated outdoor pool with stunning views across the Munich rooftops — a particularly memorable place to swim after a sauna session. Treatments include classical massage and specialised facial and body programmes.
Mandarin Oriental Munich earns its place for travelers who want a sauna inside an intimate old-town hotel with a serious rooftop pool. Two restaurants cover fusion and local Bavarian cooking on site, and the position puts the Hofbräuhaus, Marienplatz, and the luxury shopping along Maximilianstraße all within five minutes' walk.
