The Geisel Family began working in the hotel and restaurant industry at the beginning of the 20th century by managing the Löwenbräu beer tent at the Munich Oktoberfest as of 1900. Afterwards, Karl and Anna Geisel opened the restaurant "Pasinger Weinbauer" in 1923, which was quickly followed by three further restaurants. In 1935, the family opened their first hotel, Hotel Rheinhof at Munich main station. The following year, they purchased the Hotel Excelsior, which was followed by the addition of the Hotel Königshof.

In 1943, both Hotel Rheinhof and Hotel Königshof were largely destroyed by bombing raids. In 1945, Hotel Excelsior had been confiscated and used as command headquarters by the Allied Forces. It was returned to the Geisel's in 1956 and refurbished until its reopening in 1959. By 1950, Hotel Königshof had been rebuilt and subsequently underwent another major redesign between 1970-1972. [2]
