Among Munich’s most refined five star addresses, The Charles Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel, embodies contemporary luxury with European elegance. Facing the Old Botanical Garden and located moments from the city’s cultural quarter, the property offers an atmosphere that feels both cosmopolitan and serene. Positioned between Karlsplatz and Königsplatz, the hotel provides an ideal gateway to Munich’s museums, galleries and vibrant art scene while maintaining a sense of calm. The redesign of all rooms and suites, led by Olga Polizzi, introduced a lighter and contemporary aesthetic that enhances comfort and space. Natural tones, refined materials and botanical references echo the garden opposite, creating interiors that feel sophisticated yet welcoming. With a minimum size of 40 square metres, the guestrooms are among the most spacious in Munich, while the suites offer generous living areas designed for relaxation and residential comfort. Best Gastronomy: At the heart of the hotel’s social life lies Florio Restaurant & Bar, an Italian dining destination inspired by the culinary philosophy of Fulvio Pierangelini, Creative Director of Food. Celebrating exceptional ingredients, the kitchen embraces refined simplicity where seasonal produce is prepared with precision. Guests may dine in the restaurant or on the terrace overlooking the Old Botanical Garden, before continuing the evening at Florio Bar or the stylish Circle Bar with aperitivo cocktails, fine wines and champagne.
