"Despite being part of the Mandarin Oriental family of hotels, the Munich outpost feels more like a boutique property, with 48 rooms and 25 suites designed in the brand’s signature Eastern-influenced aesthetic. It’s located in the Old Town right next to the famous Hofbraühaus beer hall, a great (albeit touristy) place to eat and drink; though for a fine-dining experience, you might want to try the hotel’s Matsuhisa restaurant, part of chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s empire." - Stefanie Waldek
