Rosewood Munich - Historic grandeur meets contemporary luxury
As guests enter the Rosewood Hotel Munich, they are immediately immersed in a vibrant celebration of Munich’s past and present. Housed between two historic buildings - the former State Bank of Bavaria headquarters and aristocratic residence Palais Neuhaus - Preysing—in the center of Munich’s iconic Old Town, the hotel represents a new chapter of modern luxury for the Bavarian capital and beyond.
Forward-thinking interior design
Helming the careful restoration and forward-thinking interior design of the space were none other than the internationally- acclaimed designers and architects Tara Bernerd & Partners, who brought to life the Rosewood’s 74 rooms and public spaces.
A melting pot of design influences
Inspired by the city's melting pot of cultures, Bernerd’s studio designed “a contemporary take on baroque architecture, combining sympathetic design that melds with the historic elements of the building, to bring a distinctly modern, Bavarian feel,” as they explain. Offsetting original features evocative of the sites’ historic grandeur - such as vaulted ceilings and ornate frescoes - with bespoke furnishings citing modernist influences spanning from Bauhaus to Space Age, the Rosewood Munich welcomes guests with a diverse blend of design both elegant and familiar that Bernerd simply calls “a refined residential style”.
Eclecticism in the bathroom
This cohesive eclecticism curated by Bernerd also extends to the bathrooms throughout the Rosewood Munich - namely, through a medley of AXOR products from various collections. In the Rosewood’s wellness facilities - comprising a swimming pool and spa - an exquisite blend of AXOR Starck, AXOR ShowerSolutions and AXOR Citterio E in Brushed Gold Optic neatly complements the space’s modernist design, minimalist architecture and vibrant, green-tiled shower areas. For the bathrooms serving the Rosewood’s in-house Bar Montez, Bernerd opted for the radical simplicity of AXOR Uno in radiant Brushed Bronze to match the sophisticated design of wooden trims and blue ceramics.
The elegant world of AXOR Citterio
However, it’s in the accommodations’ marble and-oakwood bathrooms where the Rosewood Munich’s spirit of contrasts culminates in the form of bespoke AXOR Citterio faucet arrangements. Developed in collaboration with AXOR Signature, the customization service of AXOR, the washbasin faucets feature a stylish component mix comprising a curved spout from the AXOR Citterio M range and custom dual cross handles from the AXOR Citterio E collection with escutcheons from AXOR Citterio.
A harmonious fusion
As a special minimalist accent, bespoke pin-drop temperature markings have been implemented in the center of the handles rather than on the escutcheons. Together, the components form a harmonious fusion that accentuates the bathroom’s refined palette of marble, oakwood and polished metal, and demonstrates the range of flexibility - and personalization - available through AXOR design.
Completed with AXOR FinishPlus
In addition to standard Chrome, select AXOR fixtures at the Rosewood Munich are finished in Brushed Gold Optic and Brushed Bronze, two of many exclusive AXOR FinishPlus surfaces. Each luxurious, radiant and distinct in their own way, these finishes perfectly represent the unique personalities found within each of the hotel’s spaces, finely completing the inviting atmosphere of contemporary luxury that will make the Rosewood Hotel Munich a destination to remember.
