List of Higher End Munich Hotels in Alphabetical Order
but I, RichardInSF (not speaking as mod), think it's pretty darn clear that the MO and Charles are a step above the other three.
- Bayerischer Hof
- Kempinski Vier Jahreszeiten
- Mandarin Oriental
- Sofitel Bayerpost
- The Charles Hotel

i don't think being a good or great concierge on other issues necessarily translates to this; for example, a number of years ago the concierge team at the George V, which had been excellent with other things, failed to get me a ticket to a sold-out gala performance at the Opera. So I'd like to find a concierge with a good track record on this, or a hotel with a relationship with the theatre.

So based on the above recommendations, it seems that The Charles hotel is a real winner, and I found a decent AMEX FHR rate. Can anyone confirm if spa access is included with the hotel? Also, anything else worth noting?

Bayerischer Hof
Yesterday we had drinks and food afternoon on the "Roof terrace", 6th floor. Very popular, need to wait a bit, nice view, nice staff, mixed food choices incl. Asian style, cocktails and champagne. We liked it very much, first time there (We go to MO "The Terrace" usually, which is also nice).
Here are the Restaurants and Bars choices:
Restaurants and Bars
http://www.bayerischerhof.de/en/fun-...ants-bars.html
Incl. a 3* Michelin Restaurant, Trader Vics, a jazz club, The "Blue Bar" (probably the nicest in Munich), and many more choices. They have a Cinema with F&B service and selected movies also.
I have not stayed there (live not far away), so can not tell anything about the rooms, these here look nice:
Rooms and Suites
http://www.bayerischerhof.de/en/home...ms-suites.html
The location is top. "Promenadeplatz" square is most central but more quiet, one side you enter the pedestrian zone, 5-10 mins. by foot to Marienplatz, many restaurants and shopping around.
Bayerischer Hof has highest reputation among locals. The hotel hosts the yearly "Security Conference".

Their idea of hospitality is not mine, probably because they are trying to get the local market. Internationally this hotel is unheard of.

sink in a large bathroom and the most perplexing, annoying lighting system ever....the only way to work one of the lights was to open a bedside table, which seemed to trigger one of the lights.
There were two steps down to the living area which were dangerous at night and most of the living area was just empty space. The TV remote in the Living Area triggered the TV in the bedroom area. The promised 180 degree view was really only 90 degrees, unless we wanted to climb over the headboard of the bed
to open the curtains behind it. Only one elevator was working during our stay, which was a nuisance at times; the loveliest staff but lots of glitches in service.
All that said, we might stay there again because of the location, but Munich could really use a strong new entry as the product here is not up to the price point. I took some photos, which I can post shortly if anyone is interested.

Good call. We stayed in the Tower Corner Suite and regretted it. The room was dark, had no storage but some free standing cubbies, mold in the shower, only one
