IAA Mobility (formerly the Frankfurt Motor Show) is Europe's most important automotive event, welcoming 750,000+ visitors to Munich's Messe München and the city centre every odd-numbered September. The show moved from Frankfurt to Munich in 2021, bringing together the world's leading car manufacturers to showcase electric vehicles, autonomous driving technology, and the future of sustainable mobility. Munich hotels are in extremely high demand during IAA Mobility.
Our Picks — Munich
Altstadt
Munich's grande dame since 1841 — a sprawling palace-hotel facing the Theatinerkirche with a rooftop pool, seven restaurants including the blue spa bar, and rooms that have accommodated every head of state and rock musician who ever visited Bavaria. An institution and a destination in its own right.
Maxvorstadt
Munich's most polished Rocco Forte property, positioned between the Botanical Garden and the Pinakothek museums with exquisitely designed rooms, a spa with generous pool, and a restaurant helmed by a Michelin-starred team. The definitive contemporary luxury address in the city.
Altstadt
A graceful 19th-century building steps from the Hofbräuhaus with a rooftop pool enjoying extraordinary Frauenkirche twin-tower views, Michelin-starred dining at Mario Lohninger, and rooms of Mandarin's characteristic understated elegance. One of Munich's most acclaimed hotels.
Altstadt
Munich's oldest grand hotel in continuous operation since 1858 on Maximilianstrasse — the city's most elegant shopping boulevard — with a palatial lobby, a renowned spa, and rooms of old-world Bavarian grandeur. The long-stay option of choice for the Oktoberfest upper crust.
Altstadt
A comfortable four-star ideally positioned directly on the Viktualienmarkt food market, with compact but well-designed rooms and an unbeatable location for experiencing the daily life of Munich's most beloved market. Outstanding value for the address.
A bold design hotel with an elegant spa, a vibrant bar programme, and sophisticated contemporary rooms in the Westend neighbourhood — Munich's emerging creative quarter. One of the city's most stylish mid-luxury options with an excellent food and drinks offering.
