Upon arrival, guests are welcomed into a breathtaking, spacious atrium introducing the hotel’s design concept of “Stachus Serenity,” reflecting individuality and local connectivity. Through the implementation of louvered structures and large, gold-colored walls, the architectural approach was to open the facade towards the “Stachus” square and establish a connection between the interior and exterior of the hotel, creating a luxury urban retreat.
Both guest rooms and suites, showcasing modern luxury with a sophisticated blend of spectacular interiors, curated artworks from local Bavarian artists, and state-of-the-art technology. Creating a sanctuary amidst the city's hustle and bustle, the guest rooms feature dark wood-paneled walls, neutral-toned fabrics, and views of stunning cityscapes through floor-to-ceiling windows.

On the eighth and top floor of the hotel, Etereo skybar and restaurant is tinged with cherry red, brown sugar, and desert sand colours and offers a splendid perspective of the city's rooftops. With a magnificent 360-degree view over Milan – spanning from the Duomo to the Galleria, and from the Castle to Porta Nuova – it also features a spectacular rooftop outdoor pool and terrace area with sunbeds, sofas, and umbrellas. The terrace seamlessly connects with the inside bar counter, made of red arabesque Orobic marble, serving as the central meeting point on the rooftop.
Guaranteeing an epicurean delight, Koenigshof is home of three distinctive destinations including signature restaurant GRETA OTO Munich, located on the ninth floor offering panoramic views of the city. This vibrant Latin American restaurant, under the helm of renowned Peruvian chef Michael Cánepa, is set to be the city’s newest social hotspot, with an innovative menu that will engage the senses. On the weekend, the restaurant and bar transition into a club-like atmosphere where guests can enjoy exceptional Amazonian cocktails in the adjacent bar or on the rooftop terrace.
