There are also some nice Hotels around the Mainstation (Le Meridien, Sofitel etc.), but probably more expensive than the Hilton/Holiday Inn.
Enjoy your stay - there is lots to see downtown and a lot of restaurants and good beer ;-)
I average about 20-30 nights a year in Munich hotels. These are only at the 5* places so I cannot really comment on the other, except for their location..here are my brief comments:
- Mandarin Oriental: probably best in Munich
- Kempinski Vier Jahreszeiten: excellent location, make sure you get a renovated room
- Koenigshof: good transport location, nice rooms, excellent restaurant, friendly family owners
- Sofitel: good transport location, great rooms
- Meridien: rubbish rooms, terrible hotel
- Bayerischer Hof: wonderful hotel if you get a refurbished room
- Holiday Inn: location is awful
- Marriott: I met a friend there once; terrible rooms, horrible location
- Arabella Sheraton: rooms ok, location not great
