Our Art Hotel in Munich: When the Hotel Becomes a Stage
At JAMS, music legends aren’t just hanging on the walls. You’ll encounter them in the lift and on your way down the staircase, and they lend their own unique character to entire floors.
Our art hotel in Munich combines music, wall art, and extraordinary interior design to create a world that goes far beyond traditional hotel design.
Welcome to a short art tour of the JAMS Music Hotel.
From Freddie Mercury to David Bowie: Six Floors, Six Music Legends
Each floor at JAMS is dedicated to a different musical icon: Freddie Mercury, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Whitney Houston, Jim Morrison and The Notorious B.I.G. The themes were chosen based on fame, artistic distinctiveness and success. The books in the rooms also reflect the respective artists.
Even the lift journey offers an encounter with the great names of music history. Artist portraits appear behind the doors, while record covers themselves become design elements in the stairwell.
As you make your way through JAMS, you move almost effortlessly through several decades of pop and rock music culture.
JAM IT!

Wall Art from Munich: The Art of Daniela Viveros
Daniela Viveros is the artist behind the large-scale wall art at JAMS. The Mexican-born artist lives and works in Munich, where she painted the designs for the hotel by hand.
Instead of standard wall decorations, you’ll find interpretations of significant moments in music history, created especially for JAMS.
This art is particularly prominent in the Rockstar Rooms and many of the Cosy Rooms. Not all 64 rooms follow the same design concept – and that is precisely what makes them so appealing.
Anyone looking for a unique hotel room in Munich will find that JAMS offers spaces with a one-of-a-kind atmosphere created through art, music and carefully selected details.
Rock ‘n’ Roll above the rooftops —
Art in the Rockstar Rooms
The fusion of art, music and the hotel experience is particularly evident in our six Rockstar Rooms, where legendary LP covers from music history have been transformed into large-scale wall art.
These characterful hotel rooms stand apart from more traditional designs.
Added to this is the view over the rooftops of Munich. Fold-out balconies, king-size beds, rain showers and striking art motifs combine to offer both comfort and a distinctive visual style.
It’s a retreat with a backstage feel and a personality that will linger in your memory long after you’ve checked out.

From Artwork to Soundtrack
At JAMS, music is everywhere. There’s a record player in every room and more than 250 LPs are available to borrow from the lobby. Choose your favourite record, head back to your room, and drop the needle to give the art on the wall its very own soundtrack.
Why the 1970s? An era that left its mark
The 1970s are the defining era for JAMS because it was a time of great artistic expression. Munich made music history back then: electronic music gained international prominence and rock ’n’ roll was constantly evolving. JAMS captures this energy without turning it into a museum.
The ’70s vibe is reflected in the colours, materials, lighting and shapes. The interior of the Munich hotel thus becomes a stage for wall art, vinyl and music legends. The result is a glamorous, unique retro design that beats to its own drum and is a far cry from run-of-the-mill hotel aesthetics.
Art across the house —
A Hotel as a Work of Art
Anyone who thinks an art hotel is just paintings in the corridors and rooms is missing the point at JAMS. Here, art is integral to a concept that brings together the hotel industry, music, gastronomy and design.
Wall art, artist portraits, vinyl records, colours, materials and light all come together to create the interior design of our hotel in Munich. Sometimes a detail will catch your eye immediately, while at other times you will only discover it on your second tour of the building.
This is precisely what gives JAMS its special character: art is not just on display, it’s an integral part of your experience.
