Hotel Advokat
Baaderstrasse 1
"Minimalist decor meets maximum service.

REVIEW
The plain facade of a former 1960s workers' home conceals what was Munich's first boutique hotel (opened in 1998). Its ambience, lightness and simplicity makes it a great fit for modern travellers with a penchant for uncluttered design and unpretentious, caring service. The Advokat is the brainchild of Kevin Voigt, whose years in the hotel business have taught him what guests truly want in a hotel: comfortable beds, a minibar stocked with complimentary drinks and a fantastic breakfast. Expect an orgasmic bounty of fresh fruit, deli salads, smoked salmon, organic cheeses and other palate-pleasers, all beautifully arranged on a giant table. The 54 rooms are minimalist, dressed in warm creams and whites, with tactile fabrics and subtle lighting. Playful perks abound. A polished apple balances on the pillow. A single fresh flower brightens the nightstand. Framed photographs grace the walls. Rooms are snug, but many have a private balcony. Views are best from the rooftop terrace, a cosy spot where you can wind down from the day. The lobby-lounge has piles of newspapers and complimentary sherry and nibbles.
