Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Altstadt
A graceful 19th-century building steps from the Hofbräuhaus with a rooftop pool enjoying extraordinary Frauenkirche twin-tower views, Michelin-starred dining at Mario Lohninger, and rooms of Mandarin's characteristic understated elegance. One of Munich's most acclaimed hotels.
Hauptbahnhof
A well-run hostel and budget hotel directly at the main train station, offering both dormitory and private rooms in modern, clean surroundings. The most practical budget option in the city — walk to everything and catch trains easily.
Maxvorstadt
Munich's most polished Rocco Forte property, positioned between the Botanical Garden and the Pinakothek museums with exquisitely designed rooms, a spa with generous pool, and a restaurant helmed by a Michelin-starred team. The definitive contemporary luxury address in the city.
Hauptbahnhof
A striking conversion of Munich's historic Art Nouveau Bayerpost building near the main station, with a spectacular atrium lobby, a 1,400 square metre spa, and well-appointed rooms that blend contemporary French luxury with Bavarian heritage. Outstanding spa value.
Altstadt
A genuine Munich gem — a small, family-run hotel in a quiet courtyard location in the Altstadt with characterful rooms of varying sizes, outstanding personal service, and a breakfast room that feels like a Bavarian grandmother's kitchen.
Altstadt
Munich's grande dame since 1841 — a sprawling palace-hotel facing the Theatinerkirche with a rooftop pool, seven restaurants including the blue spa bar, and rooms that have accommodated every head of state and rock musician who ever visited Bavaria. An institution and a destination in its own right.
