Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Many of the city’s grand hotels go back 100 years or more. For newer luxury, check into the Charles Hotel, part of the Rocco Forte chain, which opened in 2007 in an eight-story limestone building close to the Kunstareal. The spa has a following among certain ladies who lunch.”

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Munich.

Excellent stay with super friendly staff

-Very generous room size and extremely spacious bathroom -during out stay the staff was very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable as possible, especially at the restaurant.

- Some difficulties with communication before we arrived. Asked for restaurant recommendations and my email was never answered, even after sending a follow-up email. Instead I received automatic replies and an out-of-office message. - Amenities sub-par for a 5 star hotel, nothing special was offered other than the standard stuff.

Beautiful hotel

Room was very beautiful, cleaning service was perfect, breakfast was incredible , best bacon i have ever eat! Also room service and food was amazing. All staff very friendly and helpfull. Later check out was posible . All perfect.

We didnt like spa very much. Because temperature of pool was cold, and we mised some hot jacuzzy bath there. Sure pool should be more heated. Sauna and steam was Ok. Price per night is too high and hotel is a bit far from city center.
