The beautiful architecture, high-end shopping experiences, award-winning restaurants and first-class hotels are just as emblematic of the artistic, cultural and scientific metropolis that is Munich as are the city's scenic districts and beer gardens, great soccer scene, the Isar beach or enjoying a coffee with good friends. The definition of true luxury, Munich-style: relaxed, superior enjoyment.
And of course, when visiting a bold, vibrant metropolis such as Munich, guests also expect the highest standards in accommodation. 2018 will see the launch of numerous luxurious state-of-the-art lifestyle and design hotels in Munich, to delight its guests. These new arrivals will be characterised by innovative design which defines luxury in "lean" terms.
Whether it be an exclusive boutique hotel with a limited number of beds, or a hotel project with generous conference and events areas, the newest establishments are focusing less on opulence and more on creating a distinctive, unique style of their own. They will not primarily be aiming to serve the generality of affluent visitors to Munich, instead seeking to appeal to various different "style groups". These hotels will also score points by offering contemporary services, as the new approach to luxury sees benefits moving away from traditional features and instead focusing on guests' individual needs.
So for example, many travellers would happily forgo a minibar beer, preferring to seek out the lively pub scene in the city. That's why most new hotels in Munich are offering guests opportunities to come into contact with Munich locals, while providing accommodation which serves as a stylish, temporary "home from home": a base from which guests can dive right into Munich life.

Full Sail Brewing – Session Cream Ale
Session Cream Summer Ale Joins Full Sail Brewing's Award-Winning Session Beer Series
Hood River, Oregon – Next in Full Sail Brewing's Session Series lineup is the newly released Session Cream Summer Ale. It's a classic American beer in a classic American bottle just in time to celebrate American Craft Beer Week (May 11-17). This golden ale has a creamy head and a smooth, sweet disposition – just the ticket on a hot summer's day. Session Cream Ale pours with a rich golden hue with aromas of citrus and herbal hops backed with a smooth malty/sweet mid-palate, finishing cleanly with hints of citrus and caramel. I scream, you scream, we all scream for Session Cream! Session Cream is available in 12-packs and on nitro-draft all summer long. ABV 5.4%, IBU 26.
"Ten years ago Full Sail introduced Session Lager reflecting our view that beers should be inclusive and celebrate camaraderie without extremes or gimmicks," said Irene Firmat, Full Sail Brewing Company's CEO & Founder. "Grateful that many beer lovers agree with us, and with 'sessionable' beers suddenly all the rage, there's never been a better time to expand Session's universal appeal. Our new Session Series gives Session fans three additional ways to enjoy 'Session-ability' as their tastes (and the weather) change."
Since their 2005 launch, Full Sail's Session beers have earned a slew of shiny awards and trophies including 35 gold medals. Recently, Full Sail's Session lagers swept the 2014 World Beer Championships with each beer earning top honors including a gold medal for both Session Premium Lager and the newly released Session Export. Session Fest, Session Black and Session IPA were honored with silver medals. After all, why have a beer when you could have a Session?
