For the last 21 years, it's been run by Innegrit Volkhardt, who hosts world-class events such as the Munich Security Conference and the German Film Ball. On Talking Germany, she talks about the family business and how to deal with the international jet set and famous guests.

In her school holidays, Innegrit Volkhardt used to earn extra pocket money at the Bayerischer Hof. In 1994, her father Falk Volkhardt passed on the running of the hotel to her - just two days after she had received her degree in business studies. She now owns and manages the Bayerischer Hof in Munich, the Hotel zur Tenne in Kitzbühel and wine merchants Gebrüder Volkhardt. In 2001, she was named German businesswoman of the year by Veuve Clicquot and hotelier of the year by a German trade magazine in (2002). She has also received a string of awards for her services to Bavaria and a prestigious gastronomy award. In short: She is the leading lady of the Bavarian hotel trade -- even Germany's hotel trade!
