Dining
When in Bavaria, sample the region's beloved beer, authentic weisswurst; quintessential pretzels and sweet mustard; and zwetschgendatschi, a complicated and delicious plum tart native to the area. Hotel Maximilian's three dining options provide ample opportunity to try one or all of the above, whether casually at Bar 3M and maximilian°s restaurant or enjoy haute cuisine at the award-winning Gourmet Restaurant Sartory, named after Johann Georg Sartory, Augsburg's famed 18th-century chef.
Gourmet Restaurant Sartory – The hotel's intimate, elevated culinary experience. Winner of one Michelin star, this ultra-exclusive restaurant seats just 24 and offers such refined dishes as glazed belly of Iberico pork, braised duck leg ravioli, and gently cooked Alpine salmon.
maximilian°s – This restaurant serves upscale local meals including classic wiener schnitzel, San Daniele ham, and table-carved Chateaubriand, along with dishes that are a bit out-of-the-ordinary for Augsburg such as a lobster sandwich, Thai curry, Italian pasta, or French bouillabaisse. Whichever you choose, traditional or cosmopolitan, you'll leave with an empty plate.
Bar 3M – A combination bar and café with tapas, bar food, and décor backed by red banquette booths and framed vintage European posters and advertisements. Along with cocktails, 3M also offers coffee, tea, and small breakfast options.

Elegant and central stay

An excellent choice for a central stay in Augsburg. The room was spacious, clean, and elegantly designed, with a comfortable bed and a modern bathroom. Parking was convenient, with a dedicated entrance from the rear parking garage directly into the hotel.

Loved the executive room, beautiful hotel

We had a beautiful room with an adjoining room for our 15 year old son. His first time with his own room which he loved. The adjoining door was too heavy for me to open, however. The rooms were both excellently fitted out with modern amenities. Appreciated having a coffee machine that could also do hot water for tea. Good location on a main street. Bathroom was great, the only thing is I had to rinse the bath before use as there were hairs in it. Appreciated the generous check out time of midday, & the macaroons/berries on arrival, & the bottles of water on checkout. Wished we had longer.

We had a great two night stay at the Hotel Maximilian's. It is a true gem with a rich history spanning over 500 years. It combines classic elegance with modern comfort, offering a unique blend of old-world charm and contemporary amenities. The rooms are spacious, well-designed with luxurious touches that cater to every guest’s need. The service is top-notch, reflecting the hotel’s long-standing reputation for excellence. Its location is unbeatable, right in the heart of the city, making it the perfect base for exploring Augsburg’s historic sites or conducting business. The hotel bar is a lively venue during the day and in the evening, and the service team is incredibly accommodating, even into the later hours. Whether you're visiting for business or leisure, Hotel Maximilian's provides a luxurious and welcoming stay that’s hard to beat.
