Picolo recommends · Hotel in Munich, Bavaria
Louis Hotel
Open the balcony door and the Viktualienmarkt is right below: stallholders setting out cheese and fruit under the chestnut trees.
Morning here starts with the sound of crates and the smell of bread from the market below. The Viktualienmarkt is Munich’s big open-air food market, a place of butchers, cheesemongers and a beer garden under the trees.
Inside, the hotel is calm and considered. Oak floors, stone surfaces and soft, muted tones make the rooms feel warm rather than cold and minimal, and several look straight out over the stalls.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Louis Hotel
This is our design choice in Munich. It suits anyone who travels for food, and the location means you can buy lunch at the market and be at Marienplatz a few minutes later.
The cheapest rooms are compact, and the market streets are lively all day. Pay a little more for a room with a balcony: that view is the reason to stay here.
What you get
- Morning coffee and bread from the stalls
- Rooms with oak, stone and soft colours
- Balconies over the market
- Restaurant in the hotel
- Central old town location

Which room should I book at Louis Hotel?
Choose a room with a balcony facing the Viktualienmarkt. Some of the standard rooms are small, and the market view is what makes this hotel special.
Is Louis Hotel noisy?
The market is busy during the day, so expect some activity outside. It gets much quieter in the evening once the stalls close.
Is Louis Hotel good for food lovers?
Very. You sleep above Munich’s main food market, with cheese, bread, sausages and a beer garden right on the doorstep.
