Perfectly situated in the centre of Munich, The Charles Hotel, the latest five-star Rocco Forte Hotel, will open in Summer 2007 and promises to be one of the finest hotel in this historic and cosmopolitan Bavarian city. The design will be overseen by Olga Polizzi, Rocco Forte Hotels' Director of Design. The hotel will have its own personality and will reflect its location with the use of original paintings by Munich's celebrated 19th century artist Franz von Lenbach in the bedrooms. This luxury Munich hotel will be custom built and will have all the hallmarks of a Rocco Forte Hotel: individual design, elegant comfort, excellent levels of service, up-to-date corporate facilities and a top quality health club.

The Charles Hotel's location in the heart of Munich, close to the historic square of Königsplatz, the old town and the superb shopping area, will suit both business and leisure guests staying in Munich, yet its situation in the Botanischer Garten (Botanical Gardens) will mean peace and tranquillity away from the city's bustle.

A luxurious new-build, the Charles Hotel will provide the same attention to detail, exceptional levels of comfort and personal service for which Rocco Forte Hotels has become so well known. All 132 rooms have views over the Old Botanical Gardens or the historical buildings of Munich and measure 40 square metres, with nine Junior Suites (48 square metres), 18 Master Suites (73 square metres) and a Presidential Suite (200 square metres), perfect for private dinner parties and receptions.

Each will have a character of its own, be decorated in a fresh contemporary style chosen to blend with the history of this Bavarian city, and will include all the touches you would expect from a five-star Rocco Forte Hotel: digital TV (internet, movies, music), fax/modem line, personal voicemail, as well as secure high-speed Internet access and a large bathroom with separate shower and toilet.
