Travellers to the Bavarian city of Munich in Germany can now live like a king and queen by booking a stay in a royal palace.

The Royal Residence covers 836 square metres, with four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three living rooms, a dining room, kitchen, fitness room, home cinema and wine cellar. There is a private garden with a terrace for up to 100 guests.

Barbara Muckermann, Group CEO at Kempinski Hotels said the partnership represents an exciting opportunity for Europe's oldest hotel brand to elevate the guest experience in one of the continent's most prestigious addresses.

Muckermann said: “Our commitment is to preserve the legacy of Nymphenburg while introducing new dimensions of luxury, personalised service and innovative hospitality for discerning guests around the world.”

Bookings for the baroque-designed Royal Residence at Nymphenburg Palace include full access to the villa, daily breakfast, airport transfers, 24/7 butler service and a chauffeured limousine. The Royal Residence can also be booked for exclusive events.

Overnight accommodation starts from US$26,250 per night

Tableware and art aficionados will be familiar with Nymphenburg Porcelain, which is showcased throughout the Royal Residence with significant pieces by international artists including Damien Hirst and Nick Knight on display. The porcelain factory is situated in one of the palace’s Cavalier Houses, with each item still made by hand.

Munich is a popular destination in southern Germany, with many direct flights from the Middle East. Bahrain’s Gulf Air added Munich as a new route in 2024.

Kempinski’s management of the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence continues a long association with the Royal Family of Bavaria. Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski Munich was built by HRH Prince Luitpold von Bayern’s great-great grandfather, King Maximilian II, in 1858, and has hosted a long line of celebrated guests, including Queen Elizabeth II.

Created in 1897, the Kempinski Group today operates 80 five-star hotels and residences in 35 countries and currently has more than 34 projects under development around the globe, including Kempinski Residences Bayil Bay, set to be the most coveted address in the Azerbaijani capital when it opens in 2025.

In the Middle East region, Kempinski has 15 properties including four in the UAE, three in Egypt, two in Qatar, two in Jordan, one in Oman, one in Lebanon and now two in Saudi Arabia following the February 2025 opening of the Kempinski Hotel & Resort Sariya Yanbu Red Sea.
