This is the largest hotel in Munich, set in the northern suburb of Bogenhausen, about seven subway stops from downtown Munich. This is a hotel that's hard to ignore, towering as it does 22 stories above the surrounding northern suburbs. On the top floor is Munich's most dramatic swimming pool: You get not only panoramic views of the city and the Bavarian countryside, but a waterfall as well. Rooms have been recently upgraded and, though still standardized, show a bit of style in their pine furnishing and striped fabrics, and many have balconies opening onto panoramic views. All units have well-maintained bathrooms with shower-tub combinations.
