Münchner Kindl resides in Munich’s heritage-steeped old town, near the city’s Gothic cathedral.
Planes
Munich International Airport is a 40-minute drive from the hotel; staff can arrange one-way transfers for €150.
Trains
Rail routes from Berlin, Nuremberg and Salzburg call at Munich Hauptbahnhof, which is a 15-minute taxi ride from the hotel. U-Bahn trains from Sendlinger Tor station, a five-minute walk away, can whizz you across the city or to the airport.
Automobiles
You won’t need a set of wheels: the city is easily explored by foot or by public transport. If you choose to drive, there’s public parking at Pschorr Garage, where you’ll get a 50 per cent discount through the hotel.
Worth getting out of bed for
Set in Munich’s old town, Münchner Kindl is your launchpad to the city’s historic sights. The two-tower cathedral, Frauenkirche, draws a crowd with its Gothic architecture and alleged devil’s footprint; the suburb-set Nymphenburg Palace is just as impressive with its baroque gardens. Marvel at oeuvres by Kandinsky and Klee at modern art gallery Lenbachhaus, or street art at Muca (staff can also arrange graffiti walking tours). If you’ve already exceeded your daily step count, navigate the streets on a guided segway ride or bring new meaning to city breaks with surfing on the Eisbach River. You could learn to craft a bespoke dirndl or brew Bavarian beer in a locally led workshop, before putting your new skills to good use during Oktoberfest’s merry celebrations.
Local restaurants
Named after two friends, Landersdorfer & Innerhofer brings some fun to fine dining: there’s no menu, instead multi-course dinners reflect what’s found at the market that morning. It may be a steakhouse by nature, but Little London Bar & Grill caters to all palates with its British-inspired plates, oyster platters and, of course, fine cuts of beef. South Asian flavours influence the dishes at authentic Aimy, where designed-to-share seafood towers and dumplings are stand-outs.
Local cafés
The name is a bit of a giveaway, but Schmalznudel - Cafe Frischhut is renowned for its namesake doughnuts, a regional delicacy that’s fried and sugar-dusted (and very indulgent). At Sweet Spot Kaffee, you’ll hit just that with speciality brews and pillowy pastries.
Local bars
At frozen-in-time beer hall Augustiner Stammhaus, art deco interiors and an archway-framed courtyard are your backdrop for thirst-quenching pints. Drop by low-lit Loretta Bar for amaro-centric cocktails and glasses of German wine.
