The Charles Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel
Olga Polizzi's botanical garden five-star in Maxvorstadt
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
Rocco Forte's Munich flagship next to the Old Botanical Garden, Olga Polizzi's interiors, generous park-facing rooms, and one of the longest indoor pools of any city hotel in Germany. Sophia's Restaurant & Bar runs a botanical-bistronomy concept with a sun terrace facing the Lenbachgärten gardens, and during summer 2026 Zuma takes over the kitchen for a three-month residency (June through August). The Maxvorstadt location puts you closer to the museums, Pinakotheken, Brandhorst, Lenbachhaus, than any other five-star in town.
Editor's Tip
Park-view rooms on floors three and above look directly into the Old Botanical Garden treetops, quieter than Sophienstraße-facing rooms. The 15-metre indoor pool is a rare amenity for central Munich and a deciding factor for families.
