What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Though its history can be traced to the year 1495, this Augsburg institution was completely rebuilt in 1954, and in its current form is as up-to-date as a contemporary luxury hotel can be.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along historic Maximilianstrasse, the grand boulevard puts Augsburg's Renaissance fountains, Schaezlerpalais, and medieval cathedral a short walk away.
The rooms
Contemporary guest rooms pair rich timber accents with muted tones, while top-floor suites look out across Augsburg's historic rooflines.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated 14-meter outdoor rooftop pool stays open year-round, looking out across red-tiled gables and church spires.
The spa and gym
Red mosaic archways lead into Finnish and bio saunas, and the wood-floored gym is lined with botanical murals.
Dogs stay too.
Bar 3M
Globe pendant lights illuminate the leather-stooled bar, where bartenders mix signature gin with local honey.
At the table
Michelin-starred Sartory serves French tasting menus beneath a sculptural ceiling, and maximilian°s cooks regional classics from an open kitchen.
How it began

Hospitality on this site traces back to 1495, hosting Mozart and Napoleon centuries before its mid-century postwar rebuilding.
