The Hotel

The building that now houses Mandarin Oriental, Munich was constructed in 1880 to serve as the city’s opera house. It was not until 1990 that the Neo-Renaissance building was converted to a hotel, the Hotel Rafael Munich, by hotelier Georg Rafael.[4] It was then purchased by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group 10 years later.[5] During one of the restoration projects, the building’s foundations were found to encompass part of the Medieval city wall, a section of which can still be seen in the hotel’s cellar.[6] Mandarin Oriental, Munich, a 2011 selection for Conde Nast Traveler’s (USA) Gold List,[7] underwent a substantial renovation of its 48 guest rooms and 25 suites[8] in 2007, followed by an extensive refurbishment of the hotel's public area in 2015.
