The Best Hotels in Münster

Rooms facing Münster's skyline look out over a horizon of Gothic spires, which sets the mood before you've even noticed the velvet upholstery or the parquet floors. This design-focused boutique hotel runs slate gray and moody throughout, with dark wood, leather, and midcentury furniture kept quietly comfortable by soundproofing and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. A martini by the fireplace downstairs, a terrace for lunch, bikes to borrow: it earns its Michelin Key without making a fuss about it.

The old Germania brewery building anchors this hotel north of Münster's city center, red brick that looks lifted straight from the Industrial Revolution. Inside, it trades history for concrete walls, wood floors, and modernist furniture. Beyond the rooms, a pool, gym, spa, and roof terrace fill the complex, three restaurants cover Europe's major cuisines, and two clubs handle live acts and DJ nights. Nine meeting rooms make a surprisingly convincing case for expensing the whole trip.
