Celebrating 125 years of the Volkhardt Family at the helm of the Hotel Bayerischer Hof is a testament to an extraordinary success story, where a profound sense of tradition harmoniously intertwines with the courage to embrace change. Across all four generations, the Volkhardt family has played a pivotal role in transforming the Hotel Bayerischer Hof into a globally acclaimed luxury establishment, all while maintaining its welcoming embrace for the people of Munich. It was during the era of the king Ludwig I, that Joseph Anton von Maffei undertook the mission to acquire an aging inn on Promenadeplatz, entrusting its transformation into the epitome of opulence to the skilled hands of Friedrich von Gärtner. The result was the grand opening of the hotel in 1841, marking the genesis of a legacy that continues to captivate guests with its timeless charm.
The Hotel Bayerischer Hof offers a total of 337 rooms, including 74 luxurious suites, each a unique haven designed with a touch of individuality and adorned with opulent appointments. These accommodations span a spectrum of styles, ensuring a personalized and indulgent experience for every guest. For those seeking the pinnacle of luxury, the Panorama Floor boasts spacious suite ensembles, providing a harmonious blend of comfort and leisure. Furthermore, the Pilati and Cosmopolitan rooms speak exactly the new modern and contemporary approach and the Royal Bavarian Suites are a perfect fit for those looking for a taste of the Bavarian culture.
A crowning jewel among their offerings are the Axel Vervoordt rooms and suites, representing the epitome of minimalism and pure design in natural and earthy tones. Guests can elevate their experience in the Penthouse Garden Suite, where breathtaking views of Munich unfold beyond the windows. The Presidential and Royal Suites, nestled within the historic Palais Montgelas, an architectural gem from 1811, offer an exclusive retreat marked by privacy and state-of-the-art comfort, showcasing their commitment to providing an exceptional stay for every discerning guest.

The pièce de résistance is the sliding glass roof, allowing guests to bask in relaxation near the pool regardless of the season, offering a unique experience against the backdrop of Munich’s iconic “Frauenkirche” from the rooftop terrace. This health and beauty retreat spans an expansive 1,300 m² across four floors, providing an unparalleled panoramic view of Munich’s roofs.
