Bayerischer Hof

Top choice in Munich


Around since 1841, this is one of the grande dames of the Munich hotel world. Rooms come in a number of styles, from busy Laura Ashley to minimalist cosmopolitan. The supercentral location and pool come in addition to impeccably regimented staff. Marble, antiques and oil paintings abound, and you can dine till you burst at any of the five fabulous restaurants.
