Guest Rooms at Charles Hotel:

  • When I arrived in Munich it was one of those moody, rainy days that just beg for a nap. My room was the perfect place!
  • A chair and hassock covered in a cool green velour-like fabric was in front of a small balcony overlooking the park and the distant alps. Next to the desk, a bookshelf added to the home quotient; the bed was decorated with colorful pillows in patterned silks.
  • The bathroom had a heated floor, deep tub and separate shower. Details included a small turquoise bowl for your knickknacks, a hammered metal soap dish and original porcelain art on the wall.
