"Overlooking the Old Botanical Garden just outside Munich’s Old Town, the Charles Hotel sits between the main train station and the Kunstareal museum quarter, each of which is just a five- to ten-minute walk away. Though it was built in 2007, the 160-room hotel takes cues from the Côte d’Azur’s Belle Epoch–style architecture, giving a sense of classicism to the modern space. Don’t miss the beautiful spa, which features Munich’s longest indoor lap pool, a steam room, and a Finnish sauna." - Stefanie Waldek
