New Hotels in Munich: What Opened in 2025–26, and 47 More

Munich's hotel scene changes every year, and most lists never tell you which hotels are actually new. This guide does. It starts with the hotels that opened in 2025 and 2026, with the opening date from Munich's own tourist office, and then adds 47 well-rated hotels that have proved themselves over thousands of guest reviews. That gives 50 hotels: 23 budget, 13 mid-range and 14 five-star luxury, from £52 a night for two, each with its own booking link and its walking time to Marienplatz.

Prices checked 2026-10-25 for November 2026 and January 2027 stays, 2 adults in 1 room, 1 night. For each hotel we checked Wednesday 18 November 2026 and Saturday 9 January 2027 and quote the lowest, rounded to the pound. Live prices change, so click any hotel for today's rate. Munich's city tax for overnight stays is not included where the hotel charges it at check-in.

Walking times to Marienplatz come from each hotel's map position (straight line × 1.3, at 80 metres a minute). Over 25 minutes, we give the distance instead.

New Hotels in Munich: Opened 2025–26

We only call a hotel "new" here when a reliable source gives the year. All three opening dates below come from the Munich tourist office's list of new hotel openings. Two of the three took over buildings that were already hotels, which is why they already have thousands of reviews: some of those reviews are from the earlier hotel, so read the most recent ones.

Cocoon München Theresienwiese · opened April 2025 · Theresienhöhe 40, by the Theresienwiese · 4★ · 9.1/10 (1,025 reviews) · from £69 a night for two (Wed 18 Nov £87, Sat 9 Jan £69) · 2.6 km from Marienplatz. The fourth Cocoon hotel in Munich, after Stachus, Hauptbahnhof and Sendlinger Tor, and the joint second-best-scored budget hotel in this guide after Boutique Hotel Krone München. The tourist office says it has classic rooms and flats with kitchenettes for longer stays, and a rooftop terrace looking at the Bavaria statue above the Oktoberfest grounds; our hotel data adds free bikes, a bar, private parking and some rooms with their own terrace. The cheapest room on both our dates was called a "Tiny House". Best for: Oktoberfest regulars and anyone who wants a brand-new room for a budget price.

Bob W Munich City Centre · opened 1 May 2026 · Schwanthalerstraße 61, near the main station · 4★ · 7.9/10 (3,370 reviews) · from £85 a night for two (Wed 18 Nov £85; Sat 9 Jan £115 on a re-check) · about 23 min walk to Marienplatz. An aparthotel with 119 studios and apartments, according to the tourist office. Our hotel data still describes the building as its earlier aparthotel, about 300 metres from the main station, with a fully equipped kitchen in every apartment, a laundry room, a fitness centre and soundproofed windows. Its 7.9/10 score is the lowest in this guide, and much of it was earned before the change, so check recent reviews. Best for: longer stays and families who want a kitchen and the station on the doorstep.

The Dean Munich, Autograph Collection · opened 1 July 2026 · Landsberger Straße 68, Westend · 5★ · 8.4/10 (2,672 reviews) · from £154 a night for two (Wed 18 Nov £154, Sat 9 Jan £170) · 2.6 km from Marienplatz. The tourist office lists it as opening on 1 July 2026 in the Westend with 281 rooms, a new design, a restaurant, a bar and a wellness area. The building was another hotel under a different name before, and our hotel data still uses that older description: spa suites with massages and beauty treatments, a fitness centre, an Asian restaurant, and some rooms with balconies and hot tubs. It is the second-cheapest five-star in this guide. Best for: a new five-star for the price of a city-centre four-star, a short walk from the Theresienwiese.

Opened just before: Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Munich on Karlsplatz (Stachus). The old hotel on this site was pulled down and rebuilt, and the new one opened in June 2024, according to its owner's annual results reported by the trade site HOGAPAGE. It is in our luxury list below, from £414.

What else is new? The tourist office lists several more 2025–26 openings, mostly serviced apartments and one airport hotel. We checked each one on our booking system: none had rooms we could sell on our dates, so we have left them out rather than list hotels you cannot book here. Hotels due to open from November 2026 onwards are not open yet, so they are not in this guide either.

Nuremberg, with its famous Christmas market, is about an hour by fast train: see our Nuremberg hotels guide.

Munich Tips for Your Stay

• The Glockenspiel. The New Town Hall's clock plays at 11am and noon every day, and also at 5pm from March to October. Watch from the square.
• Beer gardens. The Augustiner-Keller on Arnulfstraße, near the main station, is a short walk from the station hotels. In a traditional beer garden you may bring your own food to the tables without cloths.
• The Viktualienmarkt. Munich's food market is a few minutes from Marienplatz; come in the morning for Weisswurst and pretzels.
• Museums. The Deutsches Museum is near the Isar, and the three Pinakothek galleries are in Maxvorstadt, north of the main station.
• Day trips. Neuschwanstein Castle is about 2 hours by train and bus via Füssen; book the timed interior tour online well ahead. The Alps and the lakes south of the city are an hour or less by regional train.

UK Practicalities

• Flights: British Airways and Lufthansa fly from Heathrow, and easyJet and Ryanair from other UK airports, in about 2 hours. Search flights to Munich (MUC).
• Airport to city: S-Bahn S1 or S8 to the main station and Marienplatz in about 40 to 45 minutes. The Airport-City-Day-Ticket usually beats a single; check the current fare on the MVV website.
• Entry: no visa for UK passport holders for up to 90 days in 180; the EU's Entry/Exit System registers your fingerprints and photo on your first trip. See the UK government's Germany travel advice.
• Money: euros. Cards are widely taken, but carry some cash for beer gardens and market stalls.
• Cheapest months: November (outside trade fairs) and January to March. The dearest weeks are Oktoberfest, big trade fairs and December weekends. For more ideas, see the official Germany tourism site.
