Hotel Bayerischer Hof

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hotel Bayerischer Hof? The lobby actually feels like someone’s incredibly wealthy grandfather’s house – if your grandfather happened to have impeccable taste and a thing for Bavarian elegance. I mean, this is proper old-school luxury, the kind where staff members seem to anticipate what you need before you even think of it. The place has that solid 5-star foundation you’d expect, but it’s the little touches that got me – like how they remember your coffee preference from day two onwards, or the way the concierge doesn’t just give you directions but sketches little landmarks on hotel stationary so you won’t get lost.

The rooms are honestly gorgeous, though I’ll warn you the traditional Bavarian décor isn’t for everyone. Think rich fabrics, dark woods, and enough character to make most boutique hotels look bland by comparison. What really impressed me was the attention to sound – you’d never guess you’re in the heart of Munich when you close those heavy doors. The bathrooms are properly spacious too, which seems obvious for a place like this but you’d be surprised how many fancy hotels skimp there. I stayed during Oktoberfest season (probably paid twice what I should have, but that’s on me) and while the city was absolutely mental outside, the hotel maintained this sort of calm sophistication that felt like a refuge.

Here’s the thing though – the 8.3 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve been there. It’s not trying to be trendy or Instagram-perfect, it’s just really, really good at being a luxury hotel. The breakfast spread is ridiculous in the best way, the bar knows how to make a proper drink, and somehow they’ve managed to keep that personal touch despite being fairly large. The location puts you walking distance from all the main sights, but more importantly, you’re close enough to slip into those little side streets where locals actually eat and drink. Honestly, if you’re looking for that classic European grand hotel experience – the kind your parents might have splurged on for anniversaries – this is exactly what you’re picturing in your head, just executed really well.

Reviews

• Andy from United Kingdom – 15 April 2025 (8/10)

  What could be improved: the breakfast was very excpesive at 45 euro even if you have coffee and cerial only

• Kylie from Australia – 13 April 2025 (9/10)

  We were given an accessible room which we didn’t request to require. (Not a problem so I thought) The bed was a lift bed and was very firm and uncomfortable. Only 1 side was a lift bed and the other side was not. Meaning there was a difference in heights of the beds which was really awkward to sleep on.
  
  Other than the bed situation, the place was fantastic. The indoor pool was clean and warm. There is also an outside are where you can lay in the sun which I did.
  
  Food was delicious. From the buffet breakfast. roof top garden to the Altrium downstairs.
  
  I would definitely stay here again.

• Andrew from Switzerland – 24 February 2025 (9/10)

  The bedroom was large and comfortable. Very good bathroom facilities. Excellent location.
  
  What could be improved: I think better use could have been made of the downstairs domed lounge. It would be useful if one could have a quick breakfast there such as a coffee and croissant.

• Miroslav from Czech Republic – 7 January 2025 (9/10)

  A beautiful hotel from which you will not want to leave, because it pleasantly pampers its guests not only with its atmosphere, but also with comfort and service. Excellent location in the city center. Very quick delivery of our car upon our departure. If we ever return to Munich again, then only to this hotel.
