The Dean Munich follows the building’s layered story where guests can expect an elevated amenity offering, enhanced by bespoke DS & Durga fragrances inspired by Ireland’s natural landscape. Guestrooms are intentionally paired back, featuring a soothing palette of gentle greens. Subtle Jugendstil curves and refined detailing bring warmth and tactility, while discreet touches of 1980s influence echo the livelier spirit found in the public spaces.
Internationally recognised designer Tatjana von Stein has shaped the heart of the property in her design of the hotel’s social and gathering spaces, combining inspiration from Bavaria’s Art Nouveau heritage (Jugendstil) and the hedonistic creative energy of the 1980s, into an interior language that bridges eras.
Drawing from two pivotal moments in Munich’s cultural history, the design concept creates Jugendstil influences expressed through natural motifs, curved lines, tactile warmth and crafted detailing and 1980s Munich nightlife references in glossy surfaces, lacquered finishes and subtly theatrical lighting.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
