Just wanted to make a quick trip report, with thanks to all of you who wrote in with information.

My family stayed at the Munich City Hilton, which I'm pleased to report is VERY NICE. It doesn't stand out in my mind as particularly special--the way the Hilton Amsterdam, with its rooftop Executive Floor, is--but there's absolutely nothing objectionable about it. Indeed, the front desk was extremely helpful, the rooms have great work spaces and Internet connections, and the staff was extremely proficient in helping me get my dial-in strings right and the plugs set to allow me to dial in. The buffet breakfast--free to VIPs--is great.

And, cannot stress enough how awesome it is being above an S-Bahn stop (Rosenheimer Platz)-- easy airport transfers and getting about each day.

Never did see the Munich Park Hilton, so no means to compare.

Also, take note: my parents had room 2020, a HUGE suite (three times the size of my king room)-- worth requesting!!!
