Kempinski Hotels have signed a landmark agreement to manage the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence. In partnership with HRH Prince Luitpold von Bayern and the Royal Family of Bavaria, Kempinski will manage the private residence exclusively from 1 March 2025.
The property has been managed by Langham Hospitality since 2019.
The Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence boasts the most exclusive accommodation in Munich. Spread over three floors with a total of 836 square meters, the Royal Residence features four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, three living rooms, dining room, kitchen, fitness room, meeting space, home cinema and a wine cellar. Outdoors, the Royal Residence features a private garden with a majolica terrace with capacity for up to 100 guests.
In addition to offering the ultimate suite experience, the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence also acts as a showcase for Nymphenburg Porcelain. The Royal Residence includes art objects, animal figures and tableware from the manufacturer’s workshops in addition to numerous interior details that were specially made for the guest house in the bathrooms. Founded in 1747 by Maximilian III, elector of Bavaria, the Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufactory has occupied one of the Cavalier Houses since 1761.
“We are truly honoured to take over management of the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence, a property with such rich history and a strong reputation for exceptional service,” said Barbara Muckermann, Group Chief Executive Officer for Kempinski Hotels.
“This partnership represents an exciting opportunity for Kempinski to elevate the guest experience in one of Europe’s most prestigious addresses.
“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,” Muckermann added.
Kempinski’s management of the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence further cements the long-established history and partnership between Europe’s oldest luxury hotel group and 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.
HRH Prince Luitpold von Bayern, said: “We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our long-standing collaboration with Kempinski, particularly with Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski in Munich. As the hotel that hosts guests of the royal family next to the Residence, it has long served as a benchmark for luxury hospitality. The Nymphenburg Room in the Schwarzreiter restaurant exemplifies the finest porcelain craftsmanship combined with exceptional cuisine.
“We are now embarking on a new chapter of collaboration. Kempinski will take over the management of the Nymphenburg Palace Royal Residence, a uniquely beautiful house located within the grounds of the porcelain manufactory at the northern roundabout of Nymphenburg Palace. This venue is tailored for guests who expect the highest cultural standards. This partnership will also usher in a new era of outstanding hospitality within the ultra-luxury segment for Kempinski.”
Reservations for the Royal Residence at Nymphenburg Palace are available to book from 1 March 2025. Accommodation includes full access to the exclusive 836 sqm villa, daily breakfast, round-trip airport transfers, 24/7 butler service and a chauffeured limousine throughout the stay.
Overnight accommodation in the Royal Residence starts from EUR25,000 / US$26,250 per night.
