Munich might be best known for Oktoberfest, but the city has a lot more to offer. Yes, it is also the home of BMW and FC Bayern, but even with these world-class German exports included, there’s still way more to it. 

With its opulent Baroque churches, the city is architecturally stunning in itself. It’s also home to an overwhelming number of museums (80 in total), making it a haven to those in search of a culture fix. 

If you’re looking to visit Munich soon or happen to be in town for business, this is everything to see and do in the German city.

The hotel has just 19 rooms, so make sure you book your stay well ahead of time. A stay here is unmissible: not only is it intricately designed, it is also located in the heart of the city.
