Theatinerstrasse)
One of the grande dames of the Munich hotel trade, rooms at the Hof
come in a number of styles, from busy Laura Ashley to minimalist cosmopolitan. The
super-central location, pool and on-site cinema come in addition to impeccably behaved
staff. Marble, antiques and oil paintings abound, and with ample cash you can dine till you
burst at any one of the five fabulous restaurants.
Hotel Mandarin Oriental Munich €€€

;
Neuturmstrasse 1; d €525-645;
; Marienplatz, Marienplatz)
These magnificent neo-Renaissance digs lure the
world's glamourous, rich, powerful and famous with opulently understated rooms and top-
notch service. Paul McCartney, Bill Clinton and Prince Charles have crumpled the sheets
here. Service is polite almost to a fault, but incredibly, breakfast and internet access are
extra.

Hotel Blauer Bock €€

; Sebastiansplatz 9; s €55-99, d €90-153; ;
Marienplatz, Marienplatz)
A stuffed olive's throw away from the Viktualienmarkt, this
simple hotel has succesfully slipped through the net of gentrification to become the Alt-
stadt's best deal. The cheapest, unmodernised rooms have shared facilities, the updated
en-suite chambers are of a 21st-century vintage and all are quiet, despite the location. Su-
perb restaurant.
HOTEL
Cortiina €€€
( 242 2490;

; Ledererstrasse 8; s €165-270, d €225-345; ;
Marienplatz, Marienplatz)
Tiptoeing between hip and haute, this hotel scores best
with trendy, design-minded travellers. The street-level lounge usually buzzes with
cocktail-swigging belles and beaus, but all traces of hustle evaporate the moment you step
into your minimalist, Feng Shui-inspired room. Breakfast is an unappetising €19.50 extra.
