The Arabella High-Rise Building is a high-rise residential building with 23 floors, built from 1966 to 1969, by Josef Schörghuber in Munich, Germany. The building is 75 meters (230 ft) high and was designed by architect Toby Schmidbauer.
The high-rise is located at Arabellapark, part of the Bogenhausen neighborhood in the East of Munich. In order to meet demand for hotel rooms during the 1972 Olympic Games the building was partly converted into Arabella Bogenhausen Hotel offering 467 rooms, which was one of the largest hotels in the Munich area at those times. In addition to the hotel the building is at present home to two clinics, 500 rental apartments and 100 offices and surgeries. The rooftop features a large spa area.
In 1998 a joint venture was formed between Arabella Hotel Holding and Starwood Hotels and the hotel was renamed ArabellaSheraton Bogenhausen. The company now operates the hotel jointly with Arabella Sheraton Grand Hotel Munich which is located across the street.
The Arabella High-Rise Building is also located in close vicinity to the headquarters of HypoVereinsbank (Hypo-Haus).
