This sleek, 15-story tower in verdant Tivoli Park was transformed into a hotel from an office complex at the time of the 1972 Olympics and stays up to date with renovations as needed. A government-rated five-star hotel, it lies between the Englischer Garten and the Isar River, in a neighborhood close to the headquarters of many giant corporations. Because of that, traffic can sometimes make access for motorists a bit difficult. It's one of Munich's two Hiltons (the other, government-rated four-star München City Hilton, is less plush and has no swimming pool). Bedrooms here have floor-to-ceiling picture windows, balconies affording a distant view of the Alps, well-kept bathrooms containing shower-tub combinations, and monochromatic color schemes.
