HotelsThere's an abundance of hotel choices to suit all pockets in Munich, from the very grandest 5-star edifices along Maximillianstrasse, to smaller but no less elegant boutique establishments. There's traditional opulence and cutting-edge contemporary style, good clean budget options and all the trusted international chains associated with the mid-price and business travel markets. The only thing to really bear in mind when booking a hotel in Munich is that for the duration of the massive Oktoberfest (when a million plus people descend on the city), even a broom cupboard can't be found without advanced booking.
The Munich hotels below have been grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over Euro200)
Moderate (Euro100 to Euro200)
Cheap (up to Euro100)
These Munich hotel prices are the starting prices for a standard double room per night and include taxes and breakfast unless otherwise specified.
