Rocco Forte’s The Charles Hotel, situated in the centre of the city in Lenbach Gärten, promises to be the finest hotel in the historic Bavarian capital. The 132-bedroom luxury hotel has been purpose built, with interiors designed by Christoph Sattler overseen by The Rocco Forte Collection’s Director of Design Olga Polizzi.
Adjacent to the tranquil Botanischer Garten (Old Botanical Gardens), the hotel provides an oasis of calm away from the bustle of the busy city, yet still in close proximity to Munich’s many attractions. Guests of Rocco Forte’s The Charles Hotel will be able to unwind in the luxurious health club that includes a large swimming pool, five treatment rooms and a gym equipped with the most up-to-date fitness machines.
