The largest room on the property, the 250 square meter Presidential Suite, spans the eighth and night floor and is the largest hotel suite in Munich. The suite features a private sauna, pool, and spa area with fantastic views of the surrounding area.
The property also houses three distinct areas for guests to relax and unwind. This includes the hotel’s signature restaurant, GRETA ORO, a Latin American restaurant from Peruvian chef Michael Cánepa.
