Cathy, <BR>Start with a good guide book, available from your book store or library. Look to Fodor's, Frommer's, Michelin's Guides to Germany; Fodor also has a guide specifically for Munich. As an alternative, check the website: <BR>www.munich-tourist.de All of the major auto rental companies have websites,i.e. Hertz, Avis, National, Alamo, Kemwel, AutoEurope although you neither need nor should want an auto in Munich.

Hello Cathy, <BR> <BR>you didn`t specify if you have to be in the city center or if the business date is in the outskirts. <BR>If you don`t care to be directly near Marienplatz I always recommend the Marriott, Berliner Strasse 93, Tel. 089-360020. It`s an easy drive from the Airport and there`s a U-Bahn station right across the street. Schwabing, where you`ll find a lot of bars and restaurants is even walkable from there. <BR>If you want to be closer to the center I would recommend the "Kempinski Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten" which on the famous Maximiliansstrasse 17, Tel. 089-21250. <BR> <BR>You can rent a car at the Airport and drive to both hotels or take the S-Bahn and let a car be delivered to your hotel. You should consider the fact that Munich Airport is quite far away from the city center. <BR> <BR>I know other good hotels, if the location of your business date is in the suburbs. <BR> <BR>Have fun <BR> <BR>Miriam

Cathy <BR>A site I have used before is <BR>www.travelweb.com <BR>www.placestostay.com is also OK but not as good as Travelweb. Places to stay give details on Steigenberger hotels (German first class brand) where Travelweb don't. <BR>Both give details on the hotels and their locations ect and Travelweb give the hotel/hotel groups own web site if they have one. You can reserve a room online also. <BR>Angela

I would also recommend the Marriott on Berliner Strasse 93. It is a typical Marriott, no suprises, and since you sound like a first time traveler may be a good choice for you. The above post is off a bit on the U-Bahn station though. It is not right across the street but rather down a block and 1/2. Walk out of lobby of hotel, turn left down street for 1 1/2 blocks, then turn right and it is right there. There is also a nice littel bakery 1/2 block down the same direction right on corner with excellent pastries, etc. Easy ride to center of town on U-Bahn. <BR> <BR>Car rental was accomplished at Hertz downtown in the main train station. It might be possible to have one delivered to the hotel, but I didn't check on that. <BR> <BR>Anyway the Marriot is good choice for business hotel. Nice quiet area and easy to get around.

Cathy, <BR>Just noticed you're looking for the address of the American Embassy as well as auto rental and hotel info. You won't find the embassy in Munich; it's either in Berlin or has yet to move from Bonn. You may find an American consulate in Munich, however.

Hi Bill, <BR> <BR>you`re right, it`s not across the street. I remembered it to be very close that`s how I came to this conclusion. But the walk will take only 3 minutes anyway... <BR> <BR>Miriam

You should try the Hotel "Platzl" in the center of the City, its very charmefull with a perfect service; very close to the Hofbräuhaus and the Marienplatz. <BR>You should take the S-Bahn-Train from the airport, cause the city of Munich is overcrowded with traffic. <BR>If you want to stay longer for sightseeing, ask at the tourist-information at the MArienplatz in the townhall for the Münchener Schlüssel. Most of the hotels have some rooms for a less price and you can get bonus checks. <BR>Have a nice stay
