Hvorfor folk elsker det
- Unbeatable location directly on Viktualienmarkt (literally steps from the stalls)
- The rooftop terrace offers one of the best secret views of Old Peter's Church
- Breakfast is legendary—an expensive but massive spread with standout vegan options
Hurtig oversikt: It's a masterclass in 'soft luxury' that feels serene despite being in the tourist epicenter, provided you don't mind paying a premium for the address.
Gjennomgått av @theflyawaygirl: I stayed at the Louis Hotel for a winter getaway and it was magical. Having a private balcony overlooking the Viktualienmarkt meant I could enjoy the festive atmosphere with total privacy. The room was so cozy and warm after a day in the cold—truly the perfect holiday spot.

FAQ & Skjulte tips
Alt du faktisk vil vite før du bestiller.
Is the breakfast worth the €39 price tag?
Yes, if you have time to enjoy it. It includes high-quality vegan spreads, tofu scramble, fresh market juices, and prosecco. It's a meal in itself.
Can I park my car at the hotel?
Not directly. There is a loading zone at Rindermarkt 2, but the car must be moved to a public garage (valet or self-park).
Is it noisy at night?
Generally no. The market closes in the evening, so it's quieter than streets with bars. Windows are very well soundproofed.
Does the hotel have air conditioning?
Yes, all rooms have AC, which is crucial for Munich summers.
Are pets allowed?
Yes, dogs are welcome for €30/night and get a bed, bowl, and treats.
Is there a gym?
Yes, a small but functional gym on the 6th floor with LifeFitness equipment and a sauna.
Innsidetips
- ✨
Check the 'Tower' in your room—it's a fabric-covered cabinet that hides the TV and minibar to keep the design clean.
- ✨
Use the sturdy market bag hanging in your room to shop for picnic supplies at Viktualienmarkt.
- ✨
The rooftop terrace is often open even in cooler months—ask reception for a blanket and enjoy the view of the Alps on a clear day.
5 ting du bør vite før du drar
💡The 'Courtyard' rooms look directly into other apartments/offices, so keep the sheer curtains drawn.
💡The elevator is small and can be slow during peak breakfast hours.
💡The bathroom tiles are inspired by the Paris Metro (white subway tiles), which feels oddly specific for a Bavarian hotel.
💡You can order a 'Munich Mule' at the bar which uses local gin and is excellent.
💡The hotel has a 'pillow menu' but you have to ask for it—it's not always displayed.
