Holiday Inn – the niu, Brass Munich Olympiapark by IHG Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Holiday Inn – the niu, Brass Munich Olympiapark by IHG, you immediately notice this isn’t your typical chain hotel experience. The lobby has this modern, almost industrial vibe that feels fresh — honestly, it’s what I’d expect from a boutique property rather than a three-star Holiday Inn. The brass accents throughout give it character, and there’s something about the whole setup that just works. You can tell they’ve put thought into making this place feel different from the standard corporate hotel formula.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s what I love about the Milbertshofen area — you’re close enough to everything that matters without being stuck in the tourist chaos of Munich‘s city center. The Olympiapark is literally right there, which means easy access to BMW Welt and the Olympic Stadium if that’s your thing. What really sold me though is how couples seem to get it — they consistently rate this location highly, and I can see why. There’s parking right at the hotel, which honestly saves you a massive headache if you’re driving in Munich. The public transport connections are solid too, so getting downtown takes maybe 15 minutes.

The Room Experience

The room design follows that same modern aesthetic from the lobby, but what impressed me most was how functional everything felt. I mean, you’re not getting premium finishes here, but the space is well thought out — good lighting, decent storage, and a bed that actually lets you sleep properly. The bathroom is compact but efficient, and there’s something refreshing about a hotel that doesn’t try to be more than it is. You know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast buffet here is actually worth getting up for, which I can’t say about every hotel in this price range. They’ve got a good mix of German staples and international options — nothing fancy, but everything’s fresh and there’s enough variety to keep you happy for several days. I particularly appreciated that they seem to restock regularly, so even if you’re not an early riser, you’re not stuck with picked-over selections. There isn’t a full restaurant on-site, but honestly, with Munich’s food scene right outside your door, that’s hardly a problem.

Why Guests Love It

What keeps people coming back here is the combination of location, value, and that slightly unexpected design edge. You’re getting reliable Holiday Inn service standards, but in a package that feels more contemporary and thoughtful than most chain properties. The Olympiapark location means you can actually enjoy Munich without feeling like you’re constantly battling crowds or paying premium prices for everything. Plus, that 8.3 rating isn’t just numbers — you can feel it in the details, from the staff who actually seem to care to the little touches that make the space feel intentional rather than generic.
