The old post office building ... retains its classic facade, but the interiors have been completely re-imagined, and the result is an utterly contemporary and breathtakingly stylish luxury hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly beside Munich Hauptbahnhof, Karlsplatz and the pedestrian streets of the historic Altstadt are just a short walk away.
The rooms
Accommodations feature leather and chrome accents, stone-clad bathrooms with deep tubs, and eighth-floor maisonettes tucked beneath canted attic ceilings.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated spiral pool flows past a wall waterfall, alongside mosaic-tiled relaxation lounges and a Technogym fitness studio.
Sauna and steam
The thermal area includes a timber Finnish sauna, a tiled steam room with blue cove lighting, and Kneipp footbaths.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
ISArBAR
Under gilded wall panels, bartenders pour house gin and classic cocktails beside deep leather seating and arched windows.
At the table
DÉLICE La Brasserie serves French dishes under coffered mirrored ceilings, beside an illuminated wine wall and show kitchen.
How it began
Constructed in 1900 as the Royal Bavarian Main Post Office, the landmark building underwent adaptive reuse before reopening as a hotel in 2004.
