 Regal magnificence |
Promenadeplatz 2-6 Munich, Bayern 80333 Germany +49 (0)89 2 1200 http://www.bayerischerhof.de info@bayerischerhof.de |
More so than most hotels in the city, the Bayerischer Hof has a fascinating history. It was built in 1840 by King Ludwig I's architect Maffei to provide first-class lodgings for visitors to the nearby palace. The Montgelas Palace, which the hotel bought in 1969, was initially a Minister's residence and later became the seat of the royal administration. Elegant and sophisticated, this is one of the leading hotels in the region, with spacious rooms reflecting a variety of stylesHotel Bayerischer Hof—part modern in Laura Ashley vein, part traditional and classical in the style of the Montgelas Palace. Its various restaurants offer quality cuisine, with contemporary international dishes in the idyllic Garden Restaurant, Asian specialities in Trader Vic's and wholefood and vegetarian fare in the Palais Keller. The Bayerischer Hof Nightclub is one of Germany's top jazz venues. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Top location on the Stachus |
Karlsplatz 25 Munich, Bayern 80335 Germany +49 89 55 1360 http://www.geisel-hotels.de koenigshof-muenchen@geisel-hotels.de |
A luxurious establishment in a prominent city centre location on the Karlsplatz (Stachus). The furnishings exude timeless elegance and the rooms are generously proportioned following comprehensive renovations in 1996, when the number of rooms was reduced to create more space. The piano bar, function rooms and restaurant all boast wonderful views of the Stachus and city centre. Chef Martin Bräuer has recently been voted the best hotel chef in Germany.

Located just a stone's throw from the airport terminals, the Kempinski Airport Hotel is modern and luxurious. Its ornate interior was designed by prize-winning architect Helmut Jahn. The spacious and bright atrium is particularly impressive and can hold up to 1,200 people for congresses and functions. The hotel also houses the Nightflight Bar (10am-1.30am) which is great if you need a whisky or two for breakfast. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Stars and starlets |
Maximilianstraße 17 Munich, Bayern 80539 Germany +49 89 2 1250 http://www.kempinski-vierjahre... reservations.vierjahreszeiten@kempinski.com |
The Vier Jahreszeiten, or Four Seasons, is located on Maximilianstraße, Munich's premier boulevard. The hotel is frequented by the rich and beautiful, as well as international stars. The hotel, built in 1858 in the Maximilian style, is refined and luxurious, without being too over the top. The Restaurant Vue Maximilian is renowned for its excellent local cuisine and views of the city. The piano bar and the lobby are also popular with locals. Review © 2007, Wcities |

First class hotel in tranquil surroundings |
Neuturmstraße 1 Munich, Bayern 80331 Germany +49 89 29 0980 http://www.mandarinoriental.co... |
For many people, the former Hotel Rafael, run by the Mandarin Oriental chain since 2000, is the best hotel in the city. Having said that, it is considerably smaller, more exclusive and dearer than other top-notch hotels. Its location in a tranquil part of the city centre is not the finest of addresses, but it is nevertheless peaceful and very central, with the National Theatre, Schauspielhaus and Marienplatz only a few minutes walk away. In terms of style the hotel is modern and spacious and the interior is second to none. The hotel restaurant, Mark's, serves excellent haute cuisine. Review © 2007, Wcities |
