Venues for corporate events in Munich

Private dining and executive roundtables (10–50 guests)

For a roundtable or a client dinner you need a separate room where people can talk without noise from other tables.

Mandarin Oriental, Munich (Altstadt). Three interconnecting rooms on the first floor with daylight, for up to 150 guests together, plus a roof terrace for receptions.

Hotel München Palace (Bogenhausen). A family-run five-star boutique hotel. The restaurant seats up to 33 for a private dinner and there is a winter garden with a terrace.

Koenigshof, a Luxury Collection Hotel (Karlsplatz). Opened in 2024. Two event rooms for up to 50 guests, one of them on the 9th floor with its own bar and terrace.

LOUIS Hotel (Viktualienmarkt). Private dining for 10–14 guests with access to the roof terrace. The Grillroom takes up to 90.

Käfer-Schänke (Bogenhausen). Around nineteen themed private rooms for 2 to 50 guests above the Käfer delicatessen.

Photographer’s note: the light in the rooms is quite yellow, so photos come out warm. Flash changes that, but it gives a more editorial look, which does not suit every event.

Pageou (Fünf Höfe). Restaurant of chef Ali Güngörmüş with Mediterranean and East Anatolian cooking. A gallery for up to 20 guests for private dinners; the whole restaurant takes up to 100 at a seated dinner.

Photographer’s note: the gallery upstairs is quite tight. About 15 guests are comfortable there, not more. For a bigger group, book the main room downstairs instead: it has very large windows and a lot of beautiful light. Upstairs it is fairly dark, which I can handle as a professional photographer.

Tantris Maison Culinaire (Schwabing). Open since 1971. Private rooms for 6 to 24 guests.

Photographer’s note: big windows and a lot of daylight, so the photos come out bright and beautiful.

Luxury hotels (up to 600 guests)

A hotel is the simplest option for a conference with a dinner afterwards, because catering, technology and rooms for speakers are in one building. For photos, a ballroom with windows helps a lot.
