Andaz Munich Schwabinger Tor - a Concept by Hyatt

Staying at Andaz Munich Schwabinger Tor was an absolute highlight of my trip to Munich. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from Dietlindenstraße U-Bahn station, making it super easy to explore the city, whether you're heading to the Olympic Park, BMW Museum, or Marienplatz. From the moment I walked in, the design felt authentically Munich—modern yet deeply rooted in local culture, with subtle touches like the Saint Charles apothecary products in the bathroom that made me feel like I was staying somewhere truly special. I booked a standard king room (38 sqm), which felt spacious and thoughtfully laid out, especially with the floor-to-ceiling windows offering serene views of the greenery outside. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the shower area—featuring a large walk-in setup—was a real treat after a long day of sightseeing. Dining-wise, The Lonely Broccoli is a must-visit. As Munich’s first modern meat-focused restaurant, it delivers on every level. I highly recommend the Wagyu Beef Burger with brioche bun, onion jam, bacon, and cheddar—it’s rich, juicy, and perfectly balanced. The Jamaican-style poussin was another standout, with bold Caribbean spices that really stood out. For sides, the truffle fries and truffled mashed potatoes were luxurious and aromatic, while the lonely broccoli with smoked almond sauce added a quirky but delicious twist. And don’t miss the rooftop bar, M’uniqo—perched at the highest point in Munich, it offers panoramic views of the city and even the distant Alps. Sipping a cocktail there at sunset was pure magic. The spa is also impressive—the largest wellness center in Munich—with six private treatment rooms, a glass-walled indoor pool, a sun deck, and a fully equipped fitness area. Whether you’re here for business or leisure, this hotel delivers exceptional comfort, style, and service. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s an experience. I’ll definitely be back.

Rocco Forte the Charles Hotel

My stay at Rocco Forte the Charles Hotel in Munich was mostly positive. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable—perfect for a relaxing night's sleep. The front desk staff were friendly and efficient, making check-in smooth and welcoming. However, I was disappointed with breakfast service. The self-service buffet area had visible cleanliness issues, including a fly on the counter, which made it hard to enjoy the meal. This is definitely something the hotel should address urgently. Despite this minor setback, the overall experience was excellent—great location, elegant ambiance, and strong value for money. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and would consider staying here again on my next visit to Munich.
