Mandarin Oriental, Munich: greetings from the front desk
The Mandarin Oriental belongs to the most intimate luxury houses in Munich: a neoclassical building from the late 19th century, hidden in a quiet side street of the old town and yet only a few steps from the Maximilianstraße, the Marienplatz and the opera. With merely 73 rooms and suites it is more a generous city palace than a large hotel — and its best-known feature lies right at the top.
The rooftop pool. On the roof of the house lies a heated pool with a 360-degree panorama over Munich's old town — from the Alter Peter via the Frauenkirche to the towers of the Theatinerkirche. In summer the roof terrace becomes the “China Moon” bar, one of the most beautiful rooftop spots in the city. A city-wellness experience that is otherwise hard to find in Munich.
The Spa and Matsuhisa. The spa area relies on calm and substance: a hammam, a sauna and a treatment menu that brings the brand's Far Eastern care philosophy to Munich. Culinarily the house carries, with the Matsuhisa Munich, the signature of star chef Nobu Matsuhisa — Japanese-Peruvian cuisine at top level.
Rooftop pool & China Moon terrace
The flagship of the house lies on the roof: a heated pool with sun loungers and a 360-degree view over the old town. In the summer months the “China Moon” roof terrace opens here as a bar with an Asian-inspired menu — one of the most exclusive rooftop spots in Munich. For house guests the pool is accessible all year.
The Spa — hammam and sauna
The spa of the Mandarin Oriental is small but consistent: a hammam (Oriental steam bath), a sauna and treatment rooms for massages, facial and body treatments. The care rituals follow the group's Far Eastern wellness philosophy — calm and service stand above size.
73 rooms and suites
With only 48 rooms and 25 suites the house counts among the smallest five-star addresses in Munich — the service correspondingly personal. The rooms are kept in warm, timelessly elegant tones; the upper floors and the suites look out over the rooftops of the old town.
Matsuhisa Munich
The restaurant of the house is the Matsuhisa Munich — the Munich branch of Nobu Matsuhisa, whose Japanese-Peruvian cuisine has set standards worldwide. Add a bar and, in summer, the China Moon roof terrace.
Location in the old town
The Mandarin Oriental stands on the Neuturmstraße, in a quiet side street of Munich's old town. Maximilianstraße, Marienplatz, Hofbräuhaus, the Residenz and the Bavarian State Opera are within walking distance — one of the most central and at the same time quietest luxury positions in the city.

Frequently asked questions about the hotel
Does the Mandarin Oriental really have a rooftop pool?
Yes — on the roof of the house lies a heated pool with a sun terrace and a 360-degree view over Munich's old town. In summer the terrace becomes the “China Moon” bar; for house guests the pool is usable all year. A city-wellness experience without equal in Munich.
What does the spa offer?
A hammam (Oriental steam bath), a sauna and treatment rooms for massages as well as facial and body treatments following the brand's Far Eastern care philosophy. The area is deliberately kept small and quiet — service and atmosphere stand above square metres.
How big is the house?
Very manageable: 48 rooms and 25 suites, 73 units together. The Mandarin Oriental is thus one of the smallest five-star houses in Munich — more a city palace than a large hotel, with correspondingly personal service.
Where do you eat in the house?
At the Matsuhisa Munich, the Munich branch of Nobu Matsuhisa with Japanese-Peruvian cuisine at top level, plus a bar and, in summer, the China Moon roof terrace.
How central is the hotel?
Very central and yet quiet: in a side street of the old town on the Neuturmstraße, within walking distance of Maximilianstraße, Marienplatz, the Residenz, the Hofbräuhaus and the State Opera.
