IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group), one of the world's leading hotel companies, is proud to announce the opening of Holiday Inn Munich - Leuchtenbergring, the brand's 30th hotel in Germany.
The 279-room hotel, owned by long-standing partners UBM Development AG (UBM), is conveniently located in the city's attractive east quarter, Haidhausen, making it easily accessible via car or public transport.
With free Wi-Fi, 600 square meters of meeting space and a specially designed courtyard on the third floor, the hotel also features Holiday Inn's signature open lobby. The open lobby combines the front desk, lobby, restaurant, bar, lounge and business center into one versatile area. This gives guests flexibility, whether they're looking to eat, relax, work, or have fun in one integrated space.
