Slap bang in the middle of Munich’s ‘golden triangle’ between the Viktualienmarkt, Marianenplatz and Maximillanstrasse, the Cortiina is a modern gem in the heart of the old town. Combining the refined design and cuisine of its renowned founders, gastronome Rudi Kull and architect Albert Weinzierl, the hotel is, unsurprisingly, hot property. Offering more than just unique design and outstanding cuisine — which are impressive enough — the co-owners’ cultural status and local connections trickle down to guests, granting access to the city’s thriving creative scene.
