History & Story
• In 1892, the Royal Branch Bank, the Munich branch of the Royal Bavarian Bank, acquired three plots of land at the corner of Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße/Prannerstraße and had the existing palaces demolished.
• In 1893/94, a unified building was constructed across the three plots of land according to the plans of architect Albert Schmidt, who was also the owner of the construction company executing the project.
• Completed in 1893/94, the first « Royal Bavarian Bank » in Munich moved into the buildings with the facades that still exist today. The ensemble was expanded to the north in 1907 to create symmetry with the main view from Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße
• Bought from Bayrische Hausbau in 2011
• Three independent, listed buildings will be merged into a hotel
• Housed in two landmark, historical buildings comprised of the former headquarters of the State Bank of Bavaria and the adjacent Palais Neuhaus-Preysing.

• 5000 years is the age of the technique used to restore the gold leaf in the Preysingsaal. Known as “poliment gilding”, it involves first cleaning the gold using the dried crust of black bread that is several days old
• 250 construction workers labored during the peak phase of the work on the interior – working simultaneously on completely different parts of the building
• 350 km of installation and data cables were laid – this corresponds the distance between Munich and Milan as the crow flies
• The magnificent historic facades of the buildings will be preserved. The same applies to individual listed building components: These include, for example, the staircase at Kardinal-Faulhaber-Straße 1 (entrance are of the hotel together with the vestibule) and the Preysing Hall.
