Munich   Hotels

It looks more like a nursing home from outside, but inside the recently renovated Olymp is stylishly decorated and offers numerous personal touches. Spacious, all non-smoking rooms have a Mediterranean flair and there are apartments for long-stay guests. Hop on a free-hire bike and visit the lovely lake down the road or relax in the fitness centre (with small swimming pool) or cosy pine-panelled “Stüberl” restaurant (open until midnight) and bar. Whilst there’s no shuttle bus service, the airport’s just a few S-Bahn stops away.
