Mauritzhof Hotel MünsterMünster, Germany
The
Mauritzhof Hotel,
sometimes referred to as the Designhotel
Mauritzhof, is a stylish four-star hotel near
Münster's railroad station, the inner ring road, and the Altstadt.
Although its building was constructed in 1957, the Mauritzhof
underwent a complete overhaul in the mid-1990s under the direction of the Ranier
Maria Kresing architectural firm. The rebuilt hotel is a glass-fronted structure
that you might expect to see in Berlin or Hamburg, with large windows, light
woods, and bright ultramodern furnishings . The public rooms and the
north-facing bedrooms overlook the Promenade (the pedestrian- and
bicycle-friendly green belt that surrounds Münster's old town). Amenities
include free Wi-Fi for guests, a library, and a terrace café
next to the Promenade during the warm months. Every one of the Mauritzhof's 39 rooms is unique in size and
decor. Rooms are grouped in four basic categories: Komfort, Studio, Junior
Suite, and Suite. Ask for a room facing the
Promenade--you'll pay more than you would for a view of the busy
Eisenbahnstrasse, but you won't regret the modest surcharge. (Most rooms on the
Promenade side have small terraces or balconies, making them even more
desirable.) Amusing side note: The
Mauritzhof's press kit asks, "Life is a film. The Mauritzhof could play a role
in...?" It goes on to answer: "To Catch a Thief, Part 2, with Nicole
Kidman and Brad Pitt instead of Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. Lots of class, a
little allure, and much eye-winking." We're not sure about the eye-winking, but
we can easily imagine Nicole Kidman or Brad Pitt enjoying a stay at the trendy but
friendly Mauritzhof. For
