NH HotelsMidcentury station skyscraper
Munich's first postwar high-rise operates as an efficient transit hotel right across from the central railway station.
What it’s good at
Listed
A 1950s high-rise tower that stood as Munich's earliest postwar downtown skyscraper.
Listed
The third-floor restaurant terrace serves traditional Bavarian dishes overlooking central Munich streets.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Munich Hauptbahnhof sits directly across the street. A short walk east leads to Karlsplatz and the pedestrian Old Town.
The rooms
Rooms look out across Munich from the high-rise tower, and southern windows catch views toward the Alps.
The gym
The third-floor gym looks out over Munich, with treadmills and exercise bikes set before an alpine mural.
Restaurant
Arnulf's
Breakfast brings an open omelette station, and dinner turns to modern regional plates under warm pendant lights.
Lobby Bar
A curved bronze counter pours Bavarian draft beers and classic cocktails under suspended modern lighting.
How it began
Architect Hans Knapp-Schachleitner designed the 17-story tower in the late 1950s as Munich's first skyscraper.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
