Thinking of hosting a festive dinner party?

There’s no better time than to gather around a table and toast to the year gone by. Pick up some bubbly, sweet treats and festive goodies and set the table. To show us how it's done, look at Gina of Lush Corners festive dinner party at WunderLocke in one of our Penthouse Suites.

Hello Munich.

If you're planning a winter getaway to Munich this festive season and aren't sure where to stay, let us help. We’ve got two Locke’s across the city both unique and a world of their own.

Schwan Locke, Theresienwiese.

Close to the city centre, and just minutes from Theresienwiese, the site of Tollwood Winter Festival, this is a Locke location not to be missed. Full of one-of-a-kind furniture and mid-century industrialist design inspired by Munich’s Werkbund movement.
