Jogging

There are three suitable jogging routes through Munich varying in length from 4.5 km to 10 km. For each of the routes you should start at the hotel; there are no hills and all the routes are easy to follow – you can even obtain a map from our Concierge.

The 4.5 km and 6.5 km paths will take joggers through the famous English Garden while the 10 km route takes you via the River Isar which runs through the city.

Outdoor Activities

The Olympic Park

The Olympic Park caters for almost any sport you wish to participate in. There are seasonal variations to the schedule: in winter, guests can enjoy ice skating and sledding while in the summer there are a number of activities from tennis to Nordic walking and more.

River Isar

During the summer months the River Isar that flows through Munich is the focus for a number of water sports. While many prefer to simply swim in the river, there is a special surfing area next to the famous P1 Disco. Please ask our Concierge for further details.

Swimming

The hotel has its own heated pool on the rooftop terrace of the hotel. This is the perfect place for a relaxing swim, with stunning views across Munich and the distant Alps. Open during the summer months, there is a friendly bar that serves refreshing drinks and the freshest summer fruits.

Guests may also use the municipal pool in Munich called Ungerer Bad, which is open between May and September. Fees start from EUR 3 per person and this activity can be arranged from the hotel by our Concierge.

Ice Skating

During the winter season, the shopping area near the Karlsplatz is transformed into an ice skating rink. You can book your place on the ice through our Concierge.

Beach

The River Isar, which flows through the centre of the city, provides the site for the beach in Munich. We recommend the stretch of river between the two bridges, the Luitpoldbruecke and the Corneliusbruecke, as these offer views over Praten Island and Museum Island.

Water Sports

The focus for water sports in Munich is the River Isar, which is the venue for surfing enthusiasts in the region. While this is a seasonal activity, taking place during the hottest months of the year (May to August), it’s a popular pastime for locals and tourists alike. You can arrange this activity through our Concierge.
