Project Development

Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße 1

A five-star building for Germany's first Rosewood hotel

Bayerische Hausbau Development developed Germany's first 5-star, ultra luxury Rosewood hotel behind the historical facades of Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße 1 and the Palais Neuhaus-Preysing in the Kreuzviertel district close to the city center.

 

The architectural design created by the Munich architectural firm Hilmer Sattler Architekten Ahlers Albrecht incorporates not only 85 rooms and 47 suites but also a conference area, a restaurant, a bar and a two-storey spa on approximately 20,000 m² of space. An open concept with multiple entrances invites both visitors from all over the world and Munich residents to visit.

Behind historical facades

Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße 1 and the adjoining Palais Neuhaus-Preysing are home to Germany's first 5-star, ultra luxury Rosewood hotel.

Welcome

The historical vestibule of the former Bayerische Staatsbank picks up the design vocabulary of the neo-Baroque facade in the building's interior.

Interior design

The interior design reflects the historical materials and forms, combining them with modern elements. The interior was designed by Tara Bernerd and the interior design firm Dippold Innenarchitektur.

Ballroom

In the neighboring Rococo Palais Neuhaus-Preysing, the ballroom on the first floor has been renovated in keeping with its listed status and is part of Rosewood Munich hotel.

Protection of a historic building at Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße 1

Bayerische Hausbau was in close contact with the regional monument protection authority and the state office for monument conservation from the very beginning.

 

During the construction phase, 75 tons of steel scaffolding, anchored in hundreds of tons of concrete, and approximately 500 bored piles provided support for the – at times freestanding – neo-Baroque and Rococo facades, which were preserved in their entirety.

Good to know
