LIEBLINGSORTE | Leonardo Royal Hotel Munich

Dear Guests, Partners and Friends, Dear Readers and Explorers of Munich,

for the past six years we have organised an annual project to raise money for charity - always along with our partners, customers and friends. For the first four years, these projects consisted of small (and sometimes larger) works of art. Then in 2016, we published our first book, the BBQ Cook Book. We are very pleased that you now hold our second book in your hands, »Lieblingsorte« (favourite spots). Our aim in publishing this book was to create a guide containing the very favourite places of Munich's residents, by making use of the insider knowledge of our guests, partners and friends. All the suggestions are genuine tips from people who truly know Munich and Bavaria – 100 % authentic, from beginning to end. Chances are, you just might bump into one of our knowledgable »guides« next time you visit one of the many venues listed in these pages. Our project team has made personal contact with each and every venue, collected pictures and offers, and hast formatted all the entries into the book you now hold in your hands. By purcha- sing this guide you can support a charitable cause without any deductions whatsoever. Charity is important to us. Throughout the year, we support various organisations whose activities support a good cause. This year, with your help, we would like to support the Schneekristalle Foundation, founded by Michaela Gerg, whose vision is to enable disadvan- taged children to look forward to a self-determined and a self- assured future, through sporting activities. 100 % of the proceeds from the purchase of »Lieblingsorte« will be donated to the Schnee- kristalle Foundation. Why not grab a copy for yourself and gift some to friends and family? The more money earned from sales of this guide, the more lives the Schneekristalle Foundation can change for the better. Of course, you can also make a direct donation – you can find more information on the Foundation on the following page. I sincerely hope »Lieblingsorte« will give you as much pleasure reading as it does to us, and that it will help you uncover some of Munich's and Bavaria's wonderful hidden gems.

Yours, Stephan Löwel General Manager | Leonardo Royal Hotel Munich
