3 Best Hotels in Munich, Germany

This welcoming, family-run hotel is in a quiet western suburb, just a 10-minute walk from Schloss Nymphenburg and around the corner from the Hirschgarten Park, which houses Munich's biggest beer garden. Rooms are simply furnished, and family suites are generously sized. The tram ride (No. 16 or 17 to Kriemhildenstrasse stop) from the main train station is 13 minutes.

This century-old former hunting lodge in Munich's leafy Obermenzing suburb features modern rooms.

The 23-story building may raise a few eyebrows as it stands on a slight elevation and is not the shapeliest of the Munich skyline, but what goes on inside, however, is sheer luxury. Guests of the top four floors, part of the Westin Club, are treated to snacks, drinks, and a fantastic view of the city and the Bavarian Alps from the private top-floor lounge. There are several spots within the hotel to eat, including Paulaner's Wirtshaus, which has a beer garden.
