A 10-story, government-rated four-star member of the Arabella chain, this hotel is personalized and intimate, and its bedrooms were completely renovated back in 1996. Although not as fresh as they were back then, they are still well maintained and range from midsize to spacious, with tiled bathrooms with shower-tub combinations. Bedrooms come in three different grades, prices based on altitude (the higher, the more expensive), decor, and the presence of robes. The more expensive rooms evoke a country-house aura in their decor. The cheaper rooms are on the lower three floors and are the most timeworn, but are still sufficiently comfortable. The location on the western side of Munich is near the fairgrounds where the Oktoberfest is staged. The steel-and-glass structure is very typical of the 1980s, and is a bit too institutional for our tastes, attracting E.U. business clients and a lot of tour groups. Nonetheless, it has a well-trained staff and a lively atmosphere.
