Hotel Opéra hosts board meetings for up to 10, private dinners and family celebrations for up to 100, and standing receptions in its Renaissance-style courtyard for up to 200 guests. The hotel has 25 rooms and suites in a house built in 1898 on St.-Anna-Straße, in the Lehel district of central Munich, and the whole building can be booked exclusively.
Seminars and company events
The Salon Opéra is the hotel's meeting room: one large oval table for up to 10, suited to a board meeting, a client presentation or a private breakfast. It is booked by the half day or the full day. For a larger company dinner or a summer reception, the courtyard and the salons of the house take over, with food from the kitchen of Restaurant Gandl, a sister restaurant in the Opéra group. Booking all 25 rooms gives a management team the house to itself for a retreat in the city center.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, anniversaries and other celebrations take place in the Orangerie, the Wintergarten and the arcaded courtyard, for up to 100 guests. Couples can choose a standing reception or a seated dinner at the table, followed by the wedding cake. The Renaissance courtyard, with its arcades, flowers and lemon trees, takes either a reception or a full dinner. Restaurant Gandl can also be hired exclusively for a wedding dinner.
Rooms and capacities
Salon Opéra: up to 10 for meetings or dinners. Renaissance courtyard: up to 30 for meetings, 100 seated and 200 for a cocktail reception, according to the hotel's capacity table. Orangerie, Wintergarten and arcaded courtyard together: celebrations for up to 100. Restaurant Gandl, booked separately: up to 65 at tables and 120 standing.
Accommodation
The 25 rooms and suites are individually decorated and fall into five categories: Standard, Superior, Deluxe, Junior Suite and Suite. Breakfast is served to order, outdoors under the arcades in summer. Exclusive use of the whole hotel is available on request, which suits a wedding party or a small incentive group.
Catering
Event menus are built to the client's brief. The kitchen of Restaurant Gandl, which serves mostly Italian-inspired lunches and French and international dinners, supplies events in the courtyard and salons. The Opéra group also runs the Restaurant-Bar LEHEL and an event club under the Moët & Chandon name.
History and setting
The building was put up in 1898 by Brutscher, a purveyor to the Bavarian royal court, as a shop for game and fine foods. The Eisbach stream running beneath it kept fish and lobsters fresh. In the 1960s it housed a beauty salon. Ernestine Lutz began turning it into a small hotel in 1968 and named it after the nearby opera house, and larger renovations followed from 1976.
Getting there
The hotel stands on a quiet street close to Maximilianstraße, with the English Garden and the Isar river a few minutes away on foot. Lehel U-Bahn station is nearby, and Munich Hauptbahnhof and Munich Airport are both reached by public transport.
