The Lovelace

Lovelace is the loud and proud newcomer to the Munich hotel scene, making quite the splash with its claim to be not just a hotel but a “happening.” The pop-up venture in a 19^th century building just beyond the Altstadt combines sweeping period features with a cutting-edge program of workshops, readings, film screenings and exercise classes, as well as an on-site barber shop and concession stores. With their high ceilings and vast old French windows, the 24 rooms and five suites are superbly airy and bright and kitted out to discerning contemporary taste with Vitra lounge chairs, Sonos sound systems and organic linens, towels and toiletries.
