About the Hotel

A beacon of refinement in a storied European city, The Charles Hotel Munich is a taste of upscale luxury in Munich. Established in 2007 and built by architect Christian Sattler on the site of a former university library, this tasteful hotel is part of the new Lenbach Gardens. The walls within display a large collection of original paintings by the celebrated Franz von Lenbach, a 19th-century German artist, blended dynamically with modern elements and Art Deco-inspired shapes. Individual character and charm grace each of The Charles Hotel's 160 rooms and suites, many of which offer views of the city or surrounding gardens. Among the most spacious in the city, the guest abodes here are outfitted with top-of-the-line features like Bavarian limestone finishes, towering picture windows, French balconies, flat-screen televisions, and wireless internet access. A further welcome in the midst of a lively city, The Charles SPA offers an indoor pool, heated mosaic lounge chairs, a Finnish sauna and aromatherapy steam bath, and a fully equipped TechnoGym fitness center - not to mention the menu of invigorating and relaxing treatments. Start with a Surrender Massage and then try the Detox Body Ritual to refresh and renew like never before. This is your time, at The Charles Hotel.

Reviews for The Charles Hotel Munich

True class, The Charles will not disappoint

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

The staff are wonderful , a huge asset to the hotel . Every area of the hotel is immaculate, very classy , sophisticated in style . The food and beverage is lovely , presentation to match. Breakfast is plentiful with a hot choice as well , made to order. The breakfast room looks very inviting with top quality offerings. The rooms are large with very comfortable beds and pillows and a lovely powerful shower . The spa is beautiful and spotlessly clean. We were sad to leave but will definitely be back soon .

Trying to make things better

Nice location, great rooms, good restaurant — but some important issues: Room assignment I requested a quiet room when making the booking. At check-in, I was initially assigned a room overlooking a busy street with traffic. When I asked whether my request had been received, I was told: “Yes, but we don’t have any courtyard-view rooms — let me see what we can do.” Two minutes later, I was offered another room in the same category overlooking a very quiet street with no traffic. I was fully satisfied — but it makes me wonder why this option was not offered from the beginning. Unfortunately, there is another issue that may affect only more sensitive guests: the hotel has a swimming pool in the basement, and the pumps and ventilation systems operate 24/7. This creates vibrations that cannot be heard but can be felt through the mattress. I was unable to sleep after about 3 a.m. every night because of this. Breakfast The breakfast selection is excellent. However, eggs, tea, and coffee must be ordered separately. On the first day, the waiter forgot my order; after waiting 25 minutes, I had to remind them, and what I finally received was not what I had ordered. I thought this was just an isolated incident — but the next day was worse. I waited 35 minutes (!) for my order. A lady seated next to me ordered coffee and left after waiting 25 minutes without receiving it. The service here clearly needs improvement. Shower and maintenance The shower drainage was not working properly — water accumulated and overflowed outside the cabin. I tried calling housekeeping, but the phone was programmed incorrectly: instead of housekeeping, it connected me to the restaurant. I then sent a WhatsApp message to guest relations and received apologies and confirmation that the issue would be fixed. Later, when the room was cleaned, I mentioned the problem again and was reassured it had been resolved. However, when I took a shower in the evening, the same problem happened again, and the phone still had incorrect numbers. I had to complain for a third time, after which a gentleman finally came and fixed the issue quickly. Spa The spa team was lovely — very polite, professional, and genuinely helpful. It was a pleasure dealing with them. However, I do wonder what type of massage training the therapist had. I would strongly recommend taking an advanced course and everything will be 100% perfect!

Excellent Hospitality and Comfort

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We had a wonderful stay from 8th to 11th January. The hotel was very comfortable and well maintained. The staff were friendly, professional, and always helpful . The room was cozy, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing stay. The location is also very convenient, making it easy to get around Munich. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city. They have very nice breakfast specially avacado bread that made with homemade bread..

The Best in Munich

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

Our 3rd stay at the Charles Hotel in Munich. The very best! We highly recommend the Charles. We had stayed prior in other 5-star hotels in Munich. Not bad - but the Charles comes way out on top.
