Why we picked this hotel
Plenty of design hotels look good for a weekend. Schwan Locke feels designed for actually living in. The kitchens, proper seating, useful shared spaces and surprisingly relaxed atmosphere make four nights here feel easier than two nights in many conventional hotels.
Hotel description
A few minutes from Theresienwiese, Schwan Locke gives Munich city breaks the ease of having your own apartment. Colourful mid-century interiors, custom furniture and industrial details draw on the Deutscher Werkbund movement, while a sunny courtyard and sociable shared spaces keep the atmosphere relaxed rather than residential. Start with coffee downstairs, wander into the old town, then come back to cook, work out or settle into the courtyard with nowhere else to be. Every apartment has its own kitchen and living space, making Schwan Locke particularly good for travellers who want more independence, more room and less of the usual hotel routine.
Hotel location
This is great
Apartment living, hotel ease
Every apartment has its own kitchen and living space, giving you more freedom than a conventional hotel room.
Made for longer stays
Coworking, laundry access and weekly housekeeping make settling in for a week or more particularly easy.
A courtyard made for slowing down
The sunny courtyard adds a relaxed, residential feel and gives you somewhere pleasant to linger between exploring.
Coffee, cocktails and somewhere to work
A coffee shop, cocktail bar and coworking lounge mean you can comfortably spend part of the day without leaving the property.
Oktoberfest could hardly be closer
Theresienwiese is around five minutes away on foot, making this an exceptionally convenient base during Oktoberfest.
Central without feeling hectic
Munich Central Station and the U-Bahn are nearby, while the historic centre remains easy to reach on foot or by public transport.
Our take on the stay
The design isn’t just vaguely Bauhaus-inspired. It references Munich’s own Deutscher Werkbund movement, which predates Bauhaus, so the interiors actually have a connection to the city they’re in.

About the destination
Munich
Munich combines grand architecture and traditional beer halls with leafy parks, lively neighbourhoods, and an easygoing rhythm. Around Theresienwiese and the neighbouring Glockenbachviertel, cafés, restaurants, and independent shops bring a more local feel while the historic centre remains close by. Schwan Locke sits just south of the old town, making it easy to explore central Munich while staying in a more relaxed neighbourhood setting.
