Nineteen rooms sit above Marienplatz at BEYOND by Geisel, giving this small Munich hotel the scale of a private city residence. Oak floors, leather, stone and restrained contemporary furniture frame views of the Neues Rathaus, St Peter's Church or the surrounding rooftops. Instead of a conventional lobby, guests share an open kitchen, library and living room where meals are prepared throughout the day, alongside a wine room stocked for informal use. Full-height windows and the central communal table keep the hotel closely connected to the square immediately below.
