Atelier changed hands twice in four years and still holds two Michelin stars. That continuity, a great hotel room surviving a change of chef, is exactly what separates real hotel dining from a lobby afterthought. Munich's grand houses on Maximilianstrasse and Promenadeplatz run some of Germany's best kitchens, and below are six, ranked on the cooking first, with the current chef and star count checked against the latest guide.
1.Atelier
Munich's only two-star hotel dining room, freshly led by Kevin Romes at the Bayerischer Hof. Reserve it for the city's benchmark tasting menu.
Atelier is the fine-dining room of the Hotel Bayerischer Hof at Promenadeplatz 2 in the Altstadt, the grand dame of Munich hotels. The kitchen has held two Michelin stars through two changes of chef, and Kevin Romes took over as chef de cuisine on 1 April 2026, succeeding Anton Gschwendtner; the stars were reconfirmed in the 2026 guide. The seven-course tasting runs around 250 to 290 euros, with a wine pairing from about 99, on recent plates such as ikejime salmon trout with a kimchi emulsion. This is the city's reference hotel dinner.
Reserve two to three weeks ahead through the hotel, take the full tasting, and let the sommelier run the pairing.
Book on the Bayerischer Hof site; take the tasting and wine flight.
2.Schwarzreiter
A one-star Bavarian room inside the Kempinski on Maximilianstrasse, named for its char. Book it for refined regional cooking under a grand hotel roof.
Schwarzreiter is the gourmet room of the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski at Maximilianstrasse 17, on Munich's luxury shopping street. Head chef Franz-Josef Unterlechner has led the kitchen since January 2023 and holds one Michelin star with what the room calls Young Bavarian cooking. The signature is the namesake Schwarzreiter char from the Königssee, served across set menus at around 155 euros for four courses and 180 for seven. This is the booking for modern regional cooking in one of the city's most established luxury hotels.
Reserve a week or two ahead, take the longer menu, and ask the floor to lean into the Bavarian dishes.
Book on the Kempinski site; order the char and the seven-course menu.
3.Greta Oto
A ninth-floor Latin American room with Frauenkirche views inside the rebuilt Königshof. Reserve it for ceviche and a distinctive kitchen above Karlsplatz.
Greta Oto sits on the upper floor of the Königshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel at Karlsplatz 25, the Geisel family's house that reopened as a new build in 2024 with views to the Frauenkirche. Hannes Reckziegel leads the kitchen, brought in at the end of 2024 from the Bogenhauser Hof and Schwarzreiter, and the room is listed in the 2025 MICHELIN Guide for its Latin American cooking, with Peruvian ceviche and grilled octopus among the set-menu dishes. This is the most distinctive hotel kitchen in the city, the one doing something other than classic fine dining.
Reserve ahead, ask for a table toward the church, and take the full menu to see the range.
Book on the Königshof site; ask for a Frauenkirche-facing table.
4.Mountain Hub Gourmet
Germany's only Michelin-starred airport restaurant, inside the Hilton at the airport. Worth the S-Bahn ride for a one-star menu before, or instead of, a flight.
Mountain Hub Gourmet is the fine-dining room of the Hilton Munich Airport at Terminalstrasse Mitte 20, and the only Michelin-starred restaurant at any German airport. Head chef Marcel Tauschek has run the kitchen since January 2023, was named FAB Airport Hotel Chef of the Year in 2023, and holds the room's one star, first awarded in 2022. The four-to-six-course menus turn out plates such as pigeon with chanterelles and quince. It is an unlikely address, but it is a genuine starred hotel dinner a short ride from the centre.
Reserve ahead, take the S-Bahn or stay over for an early flight, and order the longer menu.
Book on the Hilton site; take the multi-course menu before a flight.
5.Matsuhisa Munich
Nobu Matsuhisa's Japanese-Peruvian room inside the Mandarin Oriental, off Maximilianstrasse. Book it for black cod miso in the city's most discreet luxury hotel.
Matsuhisa Munich is the restaurant of the Mandarin Oriental at Neuturmstrasse 1 in the Altstadt, Nobu Matsuhisa's only German outpost, which took the space in 2015 from the former one-star Mark's. The kitchen runs his New Style Japanese-Peruvian cooking, with the legendary black cod miso at around 36 euros, yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño and Peruvian rib-eye anticucho. It is listed in the Michelin Guide. This is the booking for a glamorous, lively dinner inside the most discreet luxury hotel in the city.
Reserve ahead, order the black cod and a spread of small plates to share, and ask for the rooftop terrace upstairs in summer.
Book on the Mandarin Oriental site; order the black cod miso.
6.Mahjong Roof Garden
The Mandarin Oriental's warm-season rooftop with Old Town views and Amazonian cooking. Reserve in summer for a drink and dinner above the Altstadt.
Mahjong Roof Garden is the warm-season rooftop of the Mandarin Oriental at Neuturmstrasse 1, above Matsuhisa on the hotel's roof terrace, with a small pool deck and views over the Old Town. Chef Michael Cánepa Farfán cooks an Amazonian and Peruvian menu, leaning on ingredients such as cassava and charapita chilli. It runs only in the warmer months and is not Michelin-starred, so it sits at the foot of this list, but in summer it is the most charming rooftop dinner in the centre of Munich.
Reserve ahead in summer, go for sunset, and treat it as a rooftop drink and dinner in one.
Book on the Mandarin Oriental site; reserve the rooftop for sunset.
Don't chase ghosts
Names that no longer apply
Restaurant Mark's. The Mandarin Oriental's old one-star room closed in 2015 when Matsuhisa took the space, so any listing pointing you to Mark's is years out of date. Book Matsuhisa or the Mahjong rooftop at the same hotel instead.
Spago Munich. There is no Wolfgang Puck Spago in Munich, despite the name appearing on some aggregators; his Spago rooms are elsewhere. Do not plan a Munich hotel dinner around it. For casual in-hotel eating, the Bayerischer Hof's Garden brasserie and Palais Keller beer cellar are pleasant but not the special-occasion dining the six above deliver.
How to book Munich hotel dining
For the starred rooms, Atelier, Schwarzreiter and Mountain Hub Gourmet, reserve two to three weeks ahead through the hotel and take the longer menu, which is where each kitchen shows its range. Atelier is the hardest table in the city, so book as far out as you can and ask the sommelier to run the pairing.
Matsuhisa and the Mahjong Roof Garden, both at the Mandarin Oriental, are the relaxed end: order to share at Matsuhisa, and save the rooftop for a summer evening, since it only runs in the warm months. Across all six, tell the hotel if you are marking an occasion, since these rooms are built to make a night of it.
Frequently asked
Which Munich hotel has the best restaurant?
The Hotel Bayerischer Hof, whose restaurant Atelier holds two Michelin stars, the highest rating of any hotel dining room in Munich. Under chef Kevin Romes, who took over in April 2026, it is the city's reference tasting menu. Behind it sit the Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski, with one-star Schwarzreiter, and the Königshof, with MICHELIN-listed Greta Oto.
Who is the chef at Atelier in the Bayerischer Hof now?
Kevin Romes, who became chef de cuisine at Atelier on 1 April 2026, succeeding Anton Gschwendtner, who had followed Jan Hartwig. The room kept its two Michelin stars through the change, reconfirmed in the 2026 guide. Romes cooks a seven-course tasting at around 250 to 290 euros, on plates such as ikejime salmon trout with a kimchi emulsion.
Which Munich hotel restaurants have a Michelin star?
Three on this list: Atelier at the Bayerischer Hof holds two stars, while Schwarzreiter at the Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski and Mountain Hub Gourmet at the Hilton Munich Airport each hold one. Greta Oto at the Königshof and Matsuhisa at the Mandarin Oriental are both in the guide without a star, and the hotel's Mahjong rooftop is a seasonal, unstarred room.
Is there a Michelin-starred restaurant at Munich Airport?
Yes. Mountain Hub Gourmet, inside the Hilton Munich Airport at Terminalstrasse Mitte 20, is the only Michelin-starred restaurant at any German airport. Head chef Marcel Tauschek has held the star since 2022 and cooks four-to-six-course menus, with dishes such as pigeon with chanterelles. It is reachable by S-Bahn and works well before an early flight or as a stopover dinner.
Can you eat at these Munich hotel restaurants without staying there?
Yes. All six welcome outside guests, and most diners at Atelier, Schwarzreiter, Greta Oto and Matsuhisa are Munich locals booking dinner rather than hotel residents. Reserve through the hotel's own site, two to three weeks ahead for the starred rooms, and book the Mahjong rooftop only in the warm months, when it operates.
