Schmidt Hammer Lassen - SHL
The hotel complex is situated in the newly developed Schwabinger Tor area along the northern part of the Leopoldstrasse. The challenge in the competition was to bring the architectural characteristics of Munich into this new and modern part of the city. schmidt hammer lassen architects’ design concept has its origin in three themes: the analysis of the historical city with its arches, vaults and arcades; a close relation to the masterplan with its boulevards, plazas and narrow streets; and a focus on human beings as well as the overall experience offered to the hotel guests.
The hotel rooms have been designed to become one of a kind. By integrating large and luxurious bathrooms – as a kind of private spa rooms – with daylight and visual connection to the outside greenery, the atmosphere in the hotel rooms become relaxing and impressive. According to Kim Holst Jensen, the use of daylight is a general theme throughout the building complex. It offers the hotel guests a unique experience and sets a whole new standard for high-end hotels in general.
