Munich   Hotels

Germany's mega-chain of hotels not surprisingly has an impressive unit in Munich. Enter the elegant polished granite lobby and proceed to its spacious rooms furnished with cable TV, minibar, phone, dataport and large bathrooms. Alternatively, head over to the top-floor swimming pool and sauna area or the piano bar with live music each evening. Nine conference halls have a capacity of upwards of 550 people and the restaurant serves each room until 23:00.
