Facing Munich's Viktualienmarkt, LOUIS Hotel occupies a century-old building whose French balconies, stucco and formal proportions overlook the market stalls. Rooms combine walnut joinery, local timber, natural stone, oak floors and Italian fabrics, with compact 'Gentleman's Bars' integrated into the furniture. The Grillroom brings a polished but relaxed dining room to the lower floors, joined by a sparkling-wine bar and quieter lounge spaces. Above, the roof terrace and private rooftop dining room look across the old city roofs. The hotel's muted interiors keep attention on the craftsmanship of its rooms and the daily movement of the market outside.
