A story curated with passion and love by and
When talking about Munich (Bavaria-Germany), the first thing most people have in mind is the famous Oktoberfest. But this city has way more to offer than that! Let’s take to wild ride and the latest from this digital, service-oriented, culinary, green, active, fantastic city…
WHERE TO STAY
Rosewood Munich
The new Rosewood Munich will be a five-star property in the middle of the old town on Kardinal-Faulhaber-Strasse next to Palais Neuhaus-Preysing. This is not a new building, however, but a hotel opening behind the listed rococo façade of the former Bayerische Staatsbank. 132 rooms and suites, a spa that will also be open to the public, a restaurant, a bar and rooms for events with up to 400 guests round off the exclusive ambiance.

It will have 402 rooms and is designed as a conference and meeting hotel with 21 function rooms and a 1,000-square-meter ballroom with natural light. In addition to the spacious lobby, which can be used for networking and working, there will also be a rooftop bar with views over the city.

No Munich without Oktoberfest!
One of the biggest and most famous events in Munich is and will always be Oktoberfest. A meeting or incentive during this time can be something very special. Next year, the Wies’n (as it is locally called) will even last two whole days longer than usual. The reason for this is the Day of German Unity on the third of October. According to the official festival rules, Oktoberfest normally lasts exactly 16 days and ends on the first Sunday in October. In 2023, however, October 3, German Unity Day, falls on a Tuesday. Therefore the city council has decided to extend the Oktoberfest up to and including October 3. So 18 days of celebration instead of 16. Start planning your event right away, table reservations start in February and are quickly sold out!
WHERE TO GO
Looking for more than “just” Munich? Why not include the German Alps in your event !

Bergson Kunstkraftwerk
A completely new location for events is currently being built in a former heating plant in Munich’s west. Covering an area of 20,000 square meters, the Bergson will be a place for all the senses: a triad of modern event formats, versatile gastronomy, and a selected, effective range of art and culture. Spacious rooms, high-end equipment, five gastronomy areas, full-service consulting, and extraordinary industrial architecture make the Bergson a very special address for congresses, seminars, corporate events but also festive dinners.
