The location is without doubt the best of all hotels in Munich, but I find the decor tacky. They were going for a more modern approach with the renovations, but so many odd design choices - I can't get over all the cheap prints resembling frescos in the rooms and public areas. You can literally count the pixels.
Don't recall that in Isadore Sharp's book, but it sort of makes sense. Totally agree that the decor is a bit cheap. Such a pity as the location is great.
