Jessica Minh Anh selected the Mandarin Oriental, Munich for her weekend escape in vibrant Bavaria. After stays at other properties within this esteemed luxury group across Paris, Barcelona, Geneva, Madrid, and Prague, Jessica found the experience here uniquely captivating—a perfect blend of historical charm and modern-day luxury.
A Thoughtful Welcome Crafted by Mandarin Oriental’s Finest
From the moment Jessica arrived, General Manager Marc Epper and his team demonstrated the brand’s legendary attention to detail. Known for their exceptional service since the first Mandarin Oriental opened in Hong Kong in 1963, the Munich staff went the extra mile to make Jessica’s stay personal. Her suite greeted her with a beautifully curated welcome, featuring a plate printed with an image of her catwalking in Hong Kong, delicately crafted macaroons, a bottle of Moët champagne, and a chocolate castle. It was a delightful start to Jessica’s Bavarian journey.
The Tower Suite: A Castle Above the City
The Tower Suite immerses guests in Bavarian heritage, updated with sleek, contemporary touches. Spanning 85 square meters, the suite is an icon within Munich.

This light-filled space evokes a castle-in-the-sky feel, setting the scene for a magical stay.
Highlights of the Tower Suite include:
Curated Minibar: Stocked with local Bavarian beers and Munich brews, the minibar offers a nod to the region’s rich beer culture, allowing guests to savor authentic Bavarian flavors within their own suite.
Luxurious Bedroom and Wardrobe Space: The suite’s spacious bedroom, complete with ample mirrors and closet space, was perfect for Jessica, whose wardrobe travels with her from one fashion capital to the next.
Seamless Tech Amenities: The suite offers a full suite of tech conveniences, including iPad controls for room service, wireless charging, and automatic lighting. Streaming options for unwinding before bed were easily accessible, but the highlight was the rain shower with intuitive push-button controls—an effortless touch of luxury.
