Best Hotels in Munich (2026)

Where you stay in Munich depends on your budget and on the time of year. Prices rise sharply during big trade fairs, the Oktoberfest in late September and early October, and the Christmas market season, so book early for those periods. For most visitors the Altstadt, the old town, is the best base: everything from Marienplatz to the Residenz is within walking distance. Here you will find the grand Hotel Bayerischer Hof on Promenadeplatz, the family-run Platzl Hotel near the Hofbräuhaus, the historic Hotel Torbräu on Tal and the Louis Hotel, a design hotel right on Viktualienmarkt.

The Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski on Maximilianstraße, open since 1858, suits luxury travellers and operagoers, as the Nationaltheater is a short walk away. Maxvorstadt, between the main station and the museum quarter, is a good choice for art lovers, and The Charles Hotel there looks out over the Old Botanical Garden. The Ludwigsvorstadt around the main station has the best value and the easiest airport connections: the characterful Hotel Mariandl near Beethovenplatz is close to the Theresienwiese, and Wombat's City Hostel is right beside the station. Lehel and Schwabing are quieter, residential alternatives close to the Englischer Garten. Wherever you stay, the S-Bahn and U-Bahn make it easy to reach the centre quickly.
