44 Best Hotels in Munich, Germany

Background Illustration for Hotels

Though Munich has a vast number of hotels in all price ranges, booking one can be a challenge, as this is a trade-show city as well as a prime tourist destination. If you're visiting during any of the major trade fairs such as the ISPO (sports, fashion) in January or the IHM (crafts) in February/March, or during Oktoberfest at the end of September, try to make reservations at least a few months in advance. It is acceptable practice in Europe to request to see a room before committing to it, so feel free to ask at check-in once you arrive.

Some of the large, upscale hotels that cater to expense-account business travelers have attractive weekend discount rates—sometimes as much as 50% below normal prices. Conversely, most hotels raise their regular rates by at least 30% during big trade fairs and Oktoberfest. Online booking sites like Hotel Reservation Service (www.hrs.com) often have prices well below the hotel's published prices (i.e., price ranges in this guide) in slow periods and on short notice. Look for the names we suggest here and search online for potential deals.

Munich's tourist information office has two outlets that can help you with hotel bookings if you haven't reserved in advance. One is outside Hauptbahnhof, the central station, and the other is at Marienplatz, in the Rathaus information office. Your best bet is to visit in person.

Cortiina Hotel

www.facebook.com/CortiinaHotel

This sleekly designed, subtly luxurious hotel follows the minimalist gospel but also feels warm and inviting, with rooms decorated in neutral tones and subtle patterns and featuring wood floors throughout. The emphasis is on the details—fresh flowers, mattresses made from natural rubber, sheets made of unbleached cotton. Some rooms can be on the cozier side, so if you want more space, opt for a suite or one of 18 apartments, complete with cooking facilities, in the nearby annex. Doubling as the breakfast area, the chic, loungelike Grapes Weinbar is a lively spot for evening drinks. There's also a small gym.

H'Otello F'22

$$ | Fallmerayerstr. 22, Munich, 80796, Germany
www.facebook.com/pg/hotello22

This is a high-caliber example of the design- and style-driven nature of the new Munich hotel scene—the style is minimalist, but with a roomy feel. The king-size beds are a big plus, as is the breakfast buffet, which includes homemade yogurt and lots of fresh fruit. This location is a few minutes from Luitpold Park and equidistant from the Olympiapark and the Englischer Garten. There are three H'Otellos in Munich, two of which are within five minutes of one another in the still trendy Schwabing district, both equally attractive (the third is near Viktualienmarkt).
