Description
The Charles Hotel is a prestigious and luxurious top end hotel located in the centre of the fascinating city of Munich. Close to Munich's peaceful and charming Old Botanical Garden, it offers the city’s most spacious rooms and longest indoor pool.
The Charles Hotel first opened its doors in 2007 as part of the development of the Lenbach Garden, and is part of the Rocco Forte collection. In fact, the hotel is named after Charles Forte, the father of Sir Rocco Forte and Olga Polizzi.
