Münchner Kindl

Style

Whimsical wunderkind

Setting

Old town perch

Münchner Kindl is for adults only, but it’s your inner child who will fall for its warm embrace. This curated crashpad is Bavarian to a tee — named after the city’s emblem, serving lecker German breakfasts, and crowned by a street-surveying rooftop sauna you can plot your beer crawl from. But it’s also big on heart, with flamboyant interiors and a convivial bar primed to welcome weary flâneurs home. We know we shouldn't have favourites, but this might be our golden child…

Our Favourite Rooms

The maximalist interiors in Münchner Kindl’s bedrooms feature ceiling murals that nod to Munich’s street-art scene, eat-the-rainbow colour palettes and bold Bavarian flourishes. Retreat to the private courtyard-style patio in the Dandy Suite with Terrace. In the loft-set Emerald Canopy Suite, you’ll feel like the king of the castle among its gilded details, chinoiserie fabrics and a book-lined snug.

Hotel Restaurant

There’s no restaurant, but there are plenty of places to eat in Munich's old town.

Hotel Bar

At the fire-warmed honesty bar, staff double as bartenders, shaking up signature cocktails that put a teatime twist on aperitivo hour: sip a matcha-infused Kyoto Sour, a fragrant Earl Grey martini or a coffee-laced Negroni.

Last Orders

The honesty bar pours from 4pm to 10pm.

Planes

Munich International Airport is a 40-minute drive from the hotel; staff can arrange one-way transfers for €150.

Trains

Rail routes from Berlin, Nuremberg and Salzburg call at Munich Hauptbahnhof, which is a 15-minute taxi ride from the hotel. U-Bahn trains from Sendlinger Tor station, a five-minute walk away, can whizz you across the city or to the airport.

You won’t need a set of wheels: the city is easily explored by foot or by public transport. If you choose to drive, there’s public parking at Pschorr Garage, where you’ll get a 50 per cent discount through the hotel.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Set in Munich’s old town, Münchner Kindl is your launchpad to the city’s historic sights. The two-tower cathedral, Frauenkirche, draws a crowd with its Gothic architecture and alleged devil’s footprint; the suburb-set Nymphenburg Palace is just as impressive with its baroque gardens. Marvel at oeuvres by Kandinsky and Klee at modern art gallery Lenbachhaus, or street art at Muca (staff can also arrange graffiti walking tours). If you’ve already exceeded your daily step count, navigate the streets on a guided segway ride or bring new meaning to city breaks with surfing on the Eisbach River. You could learn to craft a bespoke dirndl or brew Bavarian beer in a locally led workshop, before putting your new skills to good use during Oktoberfest’s merry celebrations.
