This is a business stay built to counter boardroom fatigue, swapping bland corporate neutrals for vibrant color and Spanish wine.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The lobby’s floor, with its dark and light squares, is so polished, you can check your reflection while checking in; the floor also echoes the hotel’s façade.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Hackerbrücke station sits right outside, and the sprawling chestnut beer garden at Augustiner-Keller is a short walk away.
The rooms
Semi-opaque glass separates the sleeping area from an orange-accented bath. Black leather and silver velvet break up the crisp white linens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated indoor saltwater pool sits on the top floor, joined by a circular whirlpool and reclining loungers.
The spa & gym
Hotel Bar
Purple tub armchairs and beaded metal curtains surround the counter, where guests order Spanish wines until midnight.
At the table
The morning buffet is set beneath spherical chrome lamps, with bread baskets and fresh spreads lining the long counters.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.

They did this well. You’ll notice.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
