Yes, a family-run luxury hotel still operates in Munich. The Volkhardt family has owned the Bayerischer Hof since 1897, and hotel manager Innegrit Volkhardt is part of the fourth generation to run the hotel. Responsible for cultivating the Bayerischer Hof as a little world of its own in the middle of Munich, she both continues the hotel's venerable legacy while making sure that the property keeps up with the times. To that end, Volkhardt keeps in constant contact with guests and regularly makes her way through the hotel to personally check that everyone is satisfied. What makes this hotel so special and interesting for families is its wide range of experiences it offers.
An entertainment highlight at the Bayerischer Hof is the hotel's mini cinema that can accommodate a few dozen guests on its comfortable lounge sofas. Throughout the year, various live comedy shows perform in the theater. The wellness and fitness area at the Bayerischer Hof extends over four floors. The 50-foot-long indoor pool is particularly popular and, in good weather, turns into an outdoor pool. Created by interior designer Axel Vervoordt, the Garden restaurant is one of the best in the city, while the Atelier, with its two Michelin stars, is one of the best in all of Germany. Those looking for an after-dinner drink have a choice of five bars, with the rooftop Polar Bar joining the line-up each winter.
