"Set on the fringes of the city centre, the Charles Hotel boasts spacious guestrooms, an enchanting spa and an evocative bar that hosts memorable gin and tonic tastings."

In a city as old as Munich, modernity stands out by default. Situated on the fringes of the city centre, The Charles Hotel embraces this notion, capitalising on its contemporary identity while honouring Munich’s old-world legacy. Surrounded by the rich history and centuries-old buildings of the city, the hotel is a short walk from the Kunstareal museum quarter as well as the Maximilianstrasse (which offers Munich’s most prestigious shopping). There’s plenty to do on the hotel’s doorstep, and the adventurous traveller will have the convenience of the city’s public transport system close at hand. Whether you’re vying to see magnificent castles or even the Alps, there will seemingly always be a train at the ready to whisk you there and back again.

The Charles Hotel boasts the largest average room size in Munich – and it’s immediately apparent upon setting foot in the open and airy spaces. The simplicity of the rooms could be construed as plainness, but they are stylish in their own...   Show more

There’s plenty to do on the hotel’s doorstep, and the adventurous traveller will have the convenience of the city’s public transport system close at hand. Whether you’re vying to see magnificent castles or even the Alps, there will seemingly always be a train at the ready to whisk you there and back again.

The Charles Hotel boasts the largest average room size in Munich – and it’s immediately apparent upon setting foot in the open and airy spaces. The simplicity of the rooms could be construed as plainness, but they are stylish in their own right and supremely comfortable. Most rooms overlook the Old Botanical Garden, and all have floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light. If you’re splurging, the Royal Suite Monteforte has an exquisite balcony in addition to a laundry list of perks which include a private steam room and Bechstein grand piano.

Sophia’s Restaurant serves internationally influenced cuisine in a gorgeous dining room which feels wonderfully open with its soaring ceilings, and huge windows that showcase the Old Botanical Gardens beyond. Sophia’s Bar is darker and more seductive than its restaurant counterpart – barstools with brassy orange cushions stand out against a palette of slate grey, dark wood and black. Check the bar’s calendar before you go – if you’re lucky, your visit will coincide with one of their fabulous gin and tonic tastings. Fear not if it doesn’t – you can have a private gin tasting arranged for you and yours.

The Charles Spa is enchanting – an indoor pool has gorgeous full-wall mosaic murals, and a fitness centre offers yoga and personal training where, in the gilded treatments rooms, you can get anything from eyelash extensions to thermo-active lavender compresses. Whatever you choose, it’s certainly worth a visit.

Children are welcomed to the hotel with gifts and can enjoy activities including a weekend kids’ club, splash time in the pool, child and teen spa treatments, discounted meals and child-friendly room amenities including high chairs and rubber ducks.
