At the edge of the Viktualienmarkt and two minutes' walk from Marienplatz, LOUIS Hotel makes a confident design argument: walnut wood, natural stone, Paris Métro-tiled bathrooms, and Italian fabrics in place of grand hotel formality. The result is warm, slightly bohemian, and closer in spirit to Italy than Bavaria. A rooftop terrace completes the picture with views across the city. For exploring Munich on foot, the location is essentially unbeatable.
