As guests enter the Rosewood Hotel Munich, they are immediately immersed in a vibrant celebration of Munich’s past and present. Housed between two historic buildings—the former State Bank of Bavaria headquarters and aristocratic residence Palais Neuhaus-Preysing—in the center of Munich’s iconic Old Town, the hotel represents a new chapter of modern luxury for the Bavarian capital and beyond. Helming the careful restoration and interior design were the internationally-acclaimed designers and architects Tara Bernerd & Partners, who brought to life the Rosewood’s 74 rooms and public spaces.
The interplay between historical substance and contemporary luxury forms the entire design concept of Rosewood Munich – extending all the way into the bathrooms.
In the Rosewood’s wellness facilities—comprising a swimming pool and spa—an exquisite blend of AXOR Starck, AXOR ShowerSolutions and AXOR Citterio E in Brushed Gold Optic neatly complements the space’s modernist design, minimalist architecture and vibrant, green-tiled shower areas. However, it’s in the accommodations’ marble and-oakwood bathrooms where the Rosewood Munich’s spirit of contrasts culminates in the form of bespoke AXOR Citterio faucet arrangements.
Developed in collaboration with AXOR Signature, the individualization service of AXOR, the washbasin faucets feature a stylish component mix comprising a curved spout from the AXOR Citterio M range and custom dual cross handles from the AXOR Citterio E collection with escutcheons from AXOR Citterio. As a special minimalist accent, bespoke pin-drop temperature markings have been implemented in the center of the handles rather than on the escutcheons. Together, the components form a harmonious fusion that accentuates the bathroom’s refined palette of marble, oakwood and polished metal, and demonstrates the range of flexibility - and personalization - available through AXOR design. For the bathrooms serving Rosewood’s in-house Bar Montez, Bernerd opted for the radical simplicity of AXOR Uno in radiant Brushed Bronze to match the sophisticated design of wooden trims and blue ceramics.
