Hilton Munich Airport

The Hilton Munich Airport (formerly Kempinski Hotel Airport Munich ) is an airport hotel at Munich Airport . The hotel owned by Flughafen München GmbH , which opened two years after the airport moved in 1994, was operated by the German hotel group Kempinski until the end of 2014 , and the Hilton group has been the operator since 2015 . At first, the hotel was - besides Hall F - the only building east of "Terminalstrasse Mitte" and looked isolated. As a result of the extension buildings ( MAC , 1999, Terminal 2, 2003) it now takes - as planned from the beginning - a central position between the terminals, with short distances to all modules and functional areas of the airport. The hotel is known throughout Germany due to the regular live broadcast of the Sport1 football regulars, Doppelpass, on most Sundays of the year.

In 2009 it received the World Travel Award in the category Europe's Leading Airport Hotel (Europe's leading airport hotel ).

Furnishing

The five-star hotel has 551 rooms in three price categories; there are also 46 suites . There are 30 function rooms available for conferences, as well as a restaurant, a bar, a 1200 m² wellness area and various massage and beauty treatments.

An extension, which was started in 2015 and opened in March 2017, expanded the hotel by 162 rooms and the conference area by converting office space by around 1,300 m². The costs for the expansion totaled 43 million euros.

architecture

The steel and glass construction was designed by the German-American Helmut Jahn . The interior designer was Jan Wichers. The outdoor facilities, which are modeled on the gardens of Versailles , were planned by the American garden architect Peter Walker . The hotel is made up of two wings, each with a floor area of ​​21 by 114 meters. These two wings are connected by a 1400 square meter and 24 meter high atrium hall with a glass roof, which includes a palm garden. The roof design is based on that of the moving walkway roofs on the connecting paths between Terminal 1 and Hall F as well as the MAC - it stylizes the Bavarian diamond .
