The American armed forces commandeered this turn-of-the-20th-century neo-Gothic mansion in May 1945 and established Munich's first postwar nightclub, the Femina, on the ground floor. Breakfast is served downstairs in the Café am Beethovenplatz, which also has free Wi-Fi Internet access. Most rooms are mansion-size, with high ceilings and large windows overlooking a leafy avenue. The Oktoberfest grounds and the main railway station are both a 10-minute walk away. Prices during Oktoberfest increase substantially. Pros: hotel and café are a charmingly worn and a bit bohemian. Cons: hotel and café are charmingly worn and a bit bohemian, no elevator.
