context_section_description: The building that now houses Mandarin Oriental, Munich was constructed in 1880 to serve as the city’s opera house.  It was not until 1990 that the Neo-Renaissance building was converted to a hotel, the Hotel Rafael Munich, by hotelier Georg Rafael. It was then purchased by Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group 10 years later.  During one of the restoration projects, the building’s foundations were found to encompass part of the Medieval city wall, a section of which can still be seen in the hotel’s cellar. Mandarin Oriental, Munich, a 2011 selection for Conde Nast Traveler’s (USA) Gold List, underwent a substantial renovation of its 48 guest rooms and 25 suites in 2007, followed by an extensive refurbishment of the hotel's public area in 2015.
