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!"
