The Cocoon Sendlinger Tor in Munich
The Cocoon München Sendlinger Tor is a hotel located in Munich at 35 Lindwurmstraße, in the heart of the Glockenbach district, between Sendlinger Tor and Goetheplatz. The most convenient way to get to Cocoon Sendlinger Tor is to use the U1 or U2 underground lines to the Sendlinger Tor stop, from which the hotel is about a 5-minute walk away. For those arriving in the city by plane, from Munich Airport (MUC) you can reach the main station by S-Bahn in about 45 minutes and then continue to Sendlinger Tor.
The excellent location makes it an interesting base for those visiting Munich for a city break or a holiday and want to stay in a central, lively area well integrated into urban life.
The concept of the hotel stems from the idea of offering a quiet retreat in the city center: an environment in which to relax after a day spent among museums, monuments, shops and districts of Munich, without leaving the main areas of interest.
A hotel between Sendlinger Tor and Glockenbachviertel
The Cocoon Sendlinger Tor is located between Sendlinger Tor and Goetheplatz, in the Glockenbach district, one of the most dynamic areas of Munich. From here it is possible to reach the historic center and experience the city starting from a central position, also close to the Isar.
The hotel caters to Travellers looking for urban accommodation, but at the same time want to find more intimate and relaxing spaces at the end of the day. The identity of the structure is closely linked to Monaco. Architecture, interiors and decorations reinterpret elements of the city through a contemporary, warm and informal language.
The interior garden in the centre of Munich
At the back of the building is a landscaped garden which, especially during the summer, offers a pleasant contrast to the rhythm of the city. Flower beds, seating areas and a natural sand surface create an uncommon open space in such a central location.
The sandy area was also designed as a play space for children, making the garden interesting for those staying in Monaco with the family. Greenery is not just a decorative element, but an integral part of the hotel's concept, based on the encounter between nature and the urban environment.
Warm, minimalist design rooms
The Cocoon Sendlinger Tor has 108 rooms, divided into six categories and characterized by a minimalist, functional and welcoming style.
The rooms use natural materials and details designed to offer comfort without excess. The rooms include cork and natural stone floors, a double bed with hypoallergenic Mühldorfer linen, Oeko-Tex® 100 certified Premium mattresses, television, safe and air conditioning.
The designer bathroom is integrated into the room space and can be equipped, depending on the category, with a Raindance shower or bathtub. Soaps and shampoos are by Rituals. Sizes range from 17 square meters in the Urban Cocoon and Oasis Cocoon categories to 27 square meters in the Hideaway Cocoon. An accessible 20-square-meter Oasis Cocoon room is also available. Depending on the accommodation chosen, there may be a balcony, living area, coffee station, mini-fridge, Bubble Chair or Cocoon Cabin.
The butterfly that inspires design
Each Cocoon Hotel adopts a "butterfly patron", whose colours, shapes and characteristics influence the interior design. For the Cocoon Sendlinger Tor , the source of inspiration is Hauhechel-Bläuling, discreetly recalled in the shades, shapes and atmosphere of the rooms.
This element helps to differentiate the structure from the other hotels in the group and to build a visual identity linked to the theme of transformation, nature and the cocoon as a place of protection.
The mural dedicated to Monaco
One of the most recognizable elements of the lobby is the large mural by Hamburg-based artist duo SUTOSUTO. The work depicts some personalities associated with Munich's history and culture, including King Ludwig, Rudolf Moshammer and Empress Sissi.
The mural represents a visual tribute to the city and strengthens the link between the hotel and the destination, introducing guests to Monaco's cultural identity right from the common areas.
The FreiSchwimmer rooftop bar
Above the rooftops of the hotel is the FreiSchwimmer, a panoramic rooftop bar characterized by a colorful, playful and deliberately unconventional design.
On clear days, the view extends from the city to the Alps. Swings, original furnishings and an informal atmosphere recall the lightness of summer days spent in the outdoor pools.
The rooftop is one of the most characteristic elements of the Cocoon Sendlinger Tor and can become a place to end the day after visiting Munich, stopping for a drink with a view of the city.
Sustainability and attention to resources
Sustainability is an integral part of Cocoon Hotels' philosophy, which uses renewable energy, efficient technologies and solutions to reduce resource consumption. At the Cocoon Sendlinger Tor, a photovoltaic system will be active from 2025; Guests are also offered reusable bottles and more sustainable housekeeping practices. In 2024, the group obtained the GreenSign Hotel Level 4 certification.
