PB hotel design editorial

Directly on Marienplatz, where the Neo-Gothic tower of the Neues Rathaus rises close enough to touch from the upper floors, Beyond by Geisel confronts one of the more demanding briefs in contemporary Munich hospitality: how to build something unmistakably new within a few metres of the city's most photographed facade. The Geisel family — Munich's most tenacious dynasty of hoteliers — answered by commissioning a building whose textured limestone cladding and clean horizontal fenestration hold their own against the Gothic stonework next door without competing with it. The result is a compact, considered property of around 72 rooms across seven floors, with interiors that press warmth and materiality into every surface. Inside, herringbone oak floors in a deep smoked tone anchor rooms furnished with sculptural upholstered seating in teal and cognac leather, chevron-patterned timber headboards backlit with amber warmth, and freestanding stone resin bathtubs positioned behind full-height glass partitions that frame the Rathaus directly. The colour palette — saffron yellow bedding, burnished brass side tables, dark wool lounge chairs — carries a Bavarian richness translated into a contemporary register rather than a folkloric one. The bar and kitchen space is lined floor to ceiling in dark-stained oak, a brass-topped island at its centre lit by globe pendants that cast the room in the amber glow of a serious private kitchen. Every seat in the upper lounge faces the square, the illuminated Gothic tracery visible at night as a kind of living theatre.

"This boutique hotel is distinguished first by the friendly, helpful staff who pampered me from the start. It’s a lovely space with about twenty very private rooms, despite each opening onto the common areas. One of these has a bank of windows looking out at the clock tower, another an interesting video art installation. Breakfast is served until noon, a light lunch or dinner is also available. My room had a balcony and looked out on Alter Peter, Munich’s oldest church. I was there at Christmas and enjoyed the Christmas Market in the square."

"Good reviews everywhere however upon arrival the entrance did not exactly look imposing! Located on the 5th Floor (lift & stairs) the actual hotel entrance was better however not exactly 5* compared to big chains. As usual passports were required however I found it disconcerting that they also wanted to keep my credit card during the check in process (I declined). Described as “luxury boutique” with 19 rooms. Ours was a very nice room, great central location overlooking the old town hall, good for shopping / sightseeing etc. In room mini bar was nothing much, comfortable bed / linen, nice shower / bath (junior suite), decent soundproofing. Good sized TV (BBC / Sky). Decent working desk, library, nibbles available too. Our room was up a stairway (disabled access??). There was no magnifying vanity mirror in the bathroom (the hotel website states there is a makeup mirror provided. My wife asked for one however it never arrived). Overall the location is great, room size was good but you have to question whether it really is 5*; not at all bad but for the money it’s questionable."

"What an amazing place to stay! Centrally located right near Marienplatz, friendly and helpful staff, and great rooms and amenities. Jana was so helpful when we arrived straight off our international flight at 7:00 am and everyone made us feel so welcome. My teenagers loved it, we loved watching the Glockenspiel through the open windows and we were sad to leave everyone behind after a week there. My family and I highly recommend!"

"This was our fifth stay at Beyond by Geisel and hopefully it won’t be my last. This great hotel has the best location in Munich, facing and 1 minute walk to the Marienplatz area where you will find historic landmarks, restaurants and shop all around you. What makes this hotel different is the team led by the wonderful lady (Maren). They will go out of their way to serve you with pleasant and welcoming smiles. Special thanks go to Jana and Tobias. The pleasant atmosphere that the team creates in this hotel is even contagious to hotel guests. Now, a description of the hotel. It is a small hotel with only 19 rooms on 2 floors (5th and 6th floor of a building). All rooms are modern and comfortable. If this is your first stay at the hotel then you need to coordinate with them in advance to help you reach the restricted hotel entrance. If you already know the door to the hotel, then you can press the button near the door to allow you in, then you can take the elevator to the 5th floor where you will be met by the reception. Once checked I, you can use you room key for the restricted entrance door. The breakfast is not a buffet style. But I would advise to have it included in your booking because it includes most of what you need, and it is really of a high quality. For the other meals, I would suggest the many restaurants around the hotel, and the staff will be pleased to suggest some and make bookings if needed. The hotel a can also arrange for transportation to Munich Airport (euros 115) each way. Because it is a small 5 star hotel, you will feel at home. We are already looking forward to our next stay at the Beyond."
