The Charles Hotel Munich The city of Munich, Germany is one of my favourite places to visit, no matter what time of year it is. In the spring, the city is alive with blue skies, new foliage and green grass; it is a place designed for enjoying the outdoors. In the summer, open-air shopping malls are bustling as people gather in the main squares, throw down a picnic blanket and just enjoy being together. When fall rolls around, it’s time for Oktoberfest and no place does it like Munich. Just when you think it can’t get any better, Christmas markets take over the winter landscape and the magic of the season wraps the city in celebration.
At the centre of it all is The Charles Hotel Munich, a Rocco Forte Hotel. Located near the Old Botanical Garden, the hotel offers easy access to popular attractions like Marienplatz, the English Garden, and Munich’s many exceptional museums. A leisurely stroll through the garden is as easy as stepping off the curb at the front door, it’s right across the one-way street that fronts the hotel. Munich is an excellent walking city and The Charles is the best place to call home. Designed by Olga Polizzi, the sister of Sir Rocco Forte, The Charles Hotel Munich combines modern elegance with
“The setting is tranquil and stunning with tall, framed windows allowing light to flow into the room.”
