What makes us special Hotel Excelsior

What makes Hotel Excelsior special

Hotel Excelsior is not an anonymous city hotel — it is a Munich institution with a character of its own. What sets it apart from other first-class hotels in the city is the combination of an unbeatable location, personal service, and a culinary offering that goes well beyond the ordinary.

Situated at Karlsplatz/Stachus, just a five-minute walk from the central station, the Excelsior is the ideal base for both business and leisure travellers. Marienplatz, the Frauenkirche and the major museums are all within walking distance — yet the hotel is tucked away on a quiet side street.

114 rooms and suites in Bavarian country house style create a warm, distinctive atmosphere that stands in clear contrast to the cool modernity of many city hotels. Quality materials, thoughtful details and attentive personal service ensure that guests feel genuinely welcome.

Perhaps the strongest differentiator is the in-house Vinothek — one of Munich's most acclaimed wine restaurants, with over 700 wines and a fine outstanding kitchen. This level of culinary excellence is exceptional for a city hotel of this size.

Hotel Excelsior in Munich Typically Bavarian

The Excelsior interprets the concept of a typically Bavarian hotel not in a rustic or rural way, but in an elegant, urban, and tradition-conscious manner. It combines country house style, genuine hospitality, regional cuisine, and personalized service – all at a level perfectly suited to an international city like Munich.

1. Bavarian country house style in an urban setting
A key feature is the traditional country house style, characterized by warm colors, high-quality wood elements, and partly antique furnishings. This design deliberately conveys “a piece of Bavaria,” even in the heart of the city.
It reflects one of the most important Bavarian design traditions: coziness, natural materials, and artisanal craftsmanship.

2. Blend of tradition and modernity
The hotel combines classic Bavarian charm with contemporary comfort. Modern amenities meet traditional design elements – a hallmark of high-quality Bavarian hotels that preserve their roots while meeting international expectations.

3. Bavarian hospitality & personalized service
A defining element is the genuine hospitality: personal, attentive, and individual.
The concierge service (including membership in Les Clefs d’Or) exemplifies the high standard of care and local expertise.
This reflects the true Bavarian understanding of hosting culture.

4. Culinary enjoyment with regional roots
With its adjoining vinotheque and a high-quality breakfast featuring regional products (e.g., from Munich bakeries), the hotel emphasizes its culinary offering – another key aspect of Bavarian culture, where food and drink play a central role.

5. Central location with strong regional identity
Even though it is not an Alpine hotel, the regional connection remains clear:
Located in the heart of Munich, near Karlsplatz and the Old Town, the hotel combines an urban experience with Bavarian culture and history.
