Louis Hotel, Munich

Viktualienmarkt 6, 80331 München, Germany (show on map)

The Louis Hotel in Munich is a stylish sanctuary located directly at the historic Viktualienmarkt. Housed in a building that is over 100 years old, the property underwent a major redevelopment in 2006. The architecture, reimagined by the local firm Hild und K, cleverly blends the structure’s original historic character with modern elements, featuring high windows and French balconies that hint at both Baroque traditions and contemporary design.

Inside, the hotel feels surprisingly intimate and warm. The 72 rooms are crafted with natural materials like oiled walnut, oak, and stone, often accented with Parisian-style tiles. A quirky design detail you might spot is the custom-made wardrobes, which are creatively inspired by the look of vintage suitcases. It’s the kind of place that focuses on simple, refined comfort rather than unnecessary flash.

The location is essentially unbeatable for sightseeing. You are just steps away from the bustling stalls of the Viktualienmarkt, where you can sample fresh local delicacies. A short walk brings you to the famous Marienplatz, the heart of Munich, where you can watch the daily performance of the Rathaus-Glockenspiel.

If you need a moment to escape the city’s energy, the hotel’s rooftop terrace is a hidden gem. It offers peaceful, elevated views of iconic landmarks like the Frauenkirche and Saint Peter’s Cathedral, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring the city’s nearby museums and galleries.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“The 72-room Louis Hotel offers a Japanese-themed restaurant and a bird’s-eye view of the Viktualienmarkt.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Munich.

Fodors review:

“No other hotel in Munich manages to combine the subdued elegance of a design hotel, first-rate service, and perhaps the best Old Town location, overlooking Viktualienmarkt, as this hotel.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Munich.

Frommers review:

“This chic Altstadt hideaway is the only hotel in Munich that has rooms overlooking the lively Viktualienmarkt. But despite this marquee location it truly is a hideaway, because the hotel entrance is so unobtrusive that you pass right by and never know it’s there.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Munich.

Telegraph review:

“The Louis Hotel has made a big impression since opening in 2009 – it’s location at Munich’s Viktualienmarkt alone saw to that. Very much a design hotel, its high-class rooms, bars, rooftop terrace and excellent Japanese restaurant ensure its continuing popularity for a high-end stay.”

Over all, the Louis Hotel is a pleasant establishment.

Location, large room, quiet; nice, helpful staff. Good restaurant for dinner. Next to food market and close to shops, restaurants, museums and public transportation.

Second-floor courtyard room lacked sufficient natural light. Impractical bath-shower design, needs to be renovated.

Excellent. We would definately return

Beautiful property in the heart of the city and a short taxi ride to the train station. Extremely safe with very spacious rooms and very tasteful modern accommodations.

Like most places, the air conditioner did not get as cold as we would like, but it was fine

This Property has Outstanding Staff

We are big fans of Four Seasons hotels because of the excellent service. Louis Hotel has service on par with Four Seasons. The kitchen and bar wait staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. The same can be said for the front desk staff. The food was also excellent. This hotel is special. We would go back again and again.

Fantastic location, couldn’t get better. Very comfortable and clean rooms. Breakfast items were great quality. Complimentary sodas and snacks were a nice touch.

Slightly confusing access to hotel, restricted lift at 9pm, lift key card security was clear. Breakfast service wasn’t as smooth as it could have been and quite pricey (was good though).

Excellent hotel in central location with an international flair

The size of our suite; but it came at a price

The breakfast at 39 Euro is too expensive; the traditional Bavarian white sausage breakfast (Weißwurst-Frühstück) is not worth it. The sausages are medium quality and half the size of a normal one. I know it because I am Bavarian and lived in Munich for a long time.
