Hotel München Palace

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Hotel München Palace? The moment you step into that lobby, there’s this immediate sense that you’ve walked into something genuinely special – not the stuffy, intimidating kind of luxury, but the sort where you actually feel welcome. I mean, five-star hotels can go either way, right? Some make you feel like you’re trespassing, but this place strikes that perfect balance between elegance and warmth.

The staff here actually knows Munich, which sounds obvious but honestly isn’t always the case at high-end places. When I asked about getting to the Viktualienmarkt, the concierge didn’t just point me toward the tourist traps – he told me which cheese vendor to hit up and mentioned that Wednesdays are crazy busy, so maybe go Tuesday instead. That kind of local insight is gold. The rooms themselves feel properly Bavarian without being kitschy about it – rich fabrics, solid wood furniture that doesn’t creak when you lean on it, and those impossibly thick curtains that actually block out the morning light (crucial if you’re dealing with jet lag). The bathrooms are what really sold me though – heated floors and these deep soaking tubs that make you want to extend your stay just for the evening ritual.

Location-wise, you’re in this sweet spot where you can walk to the main sights without being stuck in the middle of tourist chaos. Marienplatz is close enough that you’ll hear the Glockenspiel if your windows are open, but far enough that you won’t have crowds of people with selfie sticks right outside your door at 7 AM. The breakfast situation deserves a mention too – they’ve got this incredible spread that includes proper German breads (not just sad hotel croissants), local honey, and what I’m pretty sure was the best coffee I had during my entire Munich stay. Service throughout felt effortless in that way where things just happen without you having to ask twice. Even check-in was smooth – no standing around while they “prepare your room,” no upselling attempts, just genuine efficiency. That 8.8 rating makes total sense when you experience it firsthand. It’s the kind of place where the details work in your favor without feeling overly orchestrated, and honestly, that’s harder to pull off than you’d think.

  The property was beautifully maintained and comfortable.

• Maria from Germany – 23 March 2025 (9/10)

  The staff are very friendly and attentive to any requests. There was very little waiting time for room service and everything arrived hot and well prepared. Our balcony was particularly pleasant overlooking a pretty garden. We were very comfortable and happy with our stay!

  Great location, very clean, good size rooms

• Thomas from United Kingdom – 11 December 2024 (9/10)

  Convenience to Marienplatz

• Thomas from Sweden – 11 November 2024 (8/10)

  The hotel has a sort of faded elegance, which is nice … it's not pizzazz but it's comfy enough … all the staff were very helpful – they were the best feature, actually.
  
  What could be improved: No complaints, exactly, but I was expecting a bit more sparkle.

• Stephan from Germany – 1 November 2024 (9/10)

  I'm really glad to have found this place. I need to travel to Munich quite frequently, and this place feels like a home away from home. The glory is in the details. From the instant hot water in the shower to the silent air conditioning and heating, it's the things you don't notice that really make the difference here.
  The staff is amazing, and the location could not be any better.
  On top of all of that, the bar is a real gem. Wolfgang, the Barkeeper, is a legend.
  I'll be a regular guest from now on, for sure. My search is over.
  
  What could be improved: The restaurant is unfortunately overpriced, and doesn't always deliver quality wise.
  Wine and drinks choices are superb, but the food leaves a lot of room for improvement.
  From what I've heard, though, this is all subject to change, they are currently renovating and a new chef will take over.

• Keely from United States – 1 October 2024 (8/10)

  Room was very comfortable, and the train station was within 10 minutes walking.
  
  What could be improved: We never got shown to our rooms when our room was ready. Just how to get to our room… didn’t show us the bar area or anything. I’ve never been to a 5 star hotel that didn’t offer late night food. Beyond surprised it has this kind of rating without the concierge and restaurant with minimal hours. We most likely will not be back. We travel every 30 days to luxury hotels around the world… and I was a bit confused by this one.

• Volker from United States – 23 September 2024 (9/10)

  breakfast was great with the price typical for a Five Star Hotel.
  Staff is exceptional, like in a Five Star Hotel.
  Location is quiet, but a bit inconvenient for Munich Center
  
  What could be improved: One elevator. This could be an issue when the hotel is fully booked.
  Best to reach by taxi a limo
