 | Art Fabrik Hotel |
Score 7.45 from 189 reviews | | Bockmühle 16-24 | |
| This historic building was once a factory owned by the family of Friedrich Engels, and Engels himself was involved in the workshop here. In the past Karl Marx received his money from here while he was writing his manifesto.
This building now houses the Art Fabrik Hotel (Fabrik meaning “factory”). The concept behind the hotel is to merge art and charity and the hotel’s special commitment is to children’s hospices. Several years ago, Roswitha and Erich Bethe, the founders of the Bethe Foundation, developed the unusual concept of the Art Fabrik Hotel.
The hotel’s unique restaurant is a work of art in and of itself. Here you can experience how art, music and food harmonise perfectly together. Every aspect of the restaurant was designed and created by artists and each individual chair and table is evidence of their commitment and attention to detail. Every evening a pianist provides diners with live accompaniment.
The Persian hammam offers a different concept if relaxation, inspired by 1001 Arabian Nights. Indulge yourself with an oriental massage or a sauna.
After a day of relaxation and pampering, enjoy a coffee or tea in the tearoom.
The hotel has 12 conference rooms with a combined capacity of 650.
Each room has a complimentary minibar and wireless LAN internet access. Pay-per-view TV is also available in the rooms free of charge and European telephone calls are also free. ... more | | |

Departing Munich at 10:15am, you start your day with a visit to Ettal Monastery. Here you can get a glimpse of the lives of the Benedictine monks living at the monastery. Building of the monastery began in 1330 and due to the dedication and hard work of the resident monks, and at times knights, the structure is in pristine condition. After your visit of the monastery, you will head to the highest peak in Germany, the Zugspitze which soars to 9,788 feet (2,962 meters). From Eibsee, you take the cable car to the summit of the mountain where, on a clear day, you can see the peaks of hundreds of Bavarian Alps mountains in Austria, Switzerland and Italy. After you have enjoyed the panoramic views from the observation platform, you will descend the mountain onboard the Zugspitzbahn, a cogwheel train.
