Beautiful, modern hotel

  • September 21, 2007
  • Rated 5 of 5 by a traveler from Travelocity.com
I had a horrible experience with another hotel in Munich and checked out and then went to Le Meridien. My night got SO much better when I arrived at Le Meridien! The hotel is modern, luxurious, and the rooms are super spacious, clean and indulgently comfortable. All in all, a fantastic hotel in a great, central location. You will not be disappointed.

Checked out of another hotel due to low quality. Cannot say enough regarding our high level of satisifaction with this hotel. Large rooms and blessed AC! A little pricey, but well worth it

Le Meridien

One of the great things about lodging in Munich is that because it is a thriving business city, it is very easy to get affordable rates at the more luxurious properties on weekends--especially by going directly to their websites. We did that with several properties, and we ended up choosing the Le Meridien. Staying at a 5-star hotel in the middle of Munich at a rate of 125 euros, including breakfast, was just something we couldn't pass up.

We had a wonderful stay at the Le Meridien. I would have gladly payed much more for our experience there. The rooms are of decent size, with good German-style beds and bedding, a plasma television, and a marble bathroom. Since we had our baby with us, we really appreciated the crib set-up and a quiet room location overlooking a side-street.

The location is both good and bad. It is very convenient in that it is right across the street from the Hauptbahnhof (main train station); however, you can imagine that the neighborhood around the train station isn't the best. But it is also a very easy walk to the Marienplatz (with its Glockenspiel), the Asamkirche, the Hofbrauhaus, the shopping district, and many other attractions.

The hotel's staff was very helpful and efficient. They checked us in very efficiently, and ensured that our baby's crib was already set up and ready. When we were discussing things to do the front-desk staff were very happy to give us ideas and directions (we ended up getting a pass for Munich's public transportation from them and did a lot of wandering).

The hotel's restaurant, Le Potager, is also quite worth recommending. The breakfast buffet is quite large and diverse--they had everything from German weisswurst to Japanese miso and rice to made-to-order items. The selection of pastries, cereals, cold-cuts, fresh juices, etc., was almost overwhelming. In the warmer months there is an outdoor terrace/beer garden for seating. We had one dinner there, and I indulged myself by ordering Charleroi beef (arguably Europe's best). My wife had a special 3-course Spring menu and we both enjoyed ourselves very much.

We found the Le Meridien to be a great find, a terrific value, and a calm oasis in the middle of sometimes-hectic Munich. It is a great base from which to explore this city, or to simply do nothing in (there is a very good spa and indoor pool in the hotel). We will stay there again and again, and I'd gladly recommend it to others.

This is a stunningly beautiful hotel in a bit of a seedy neighborhood adjacent to the Bahnhof. The strobe lights from Sexy-land

added that certain something to our view, though our little metal balcony made an excellent drink cooler in January.

I have to say that the staff and the management try very hard here to make your visit perfect. In a few instances, they fell a little short, for example, my TV Internet didn’t work right and the whole unit had to be replaced. It took the technician at least 30 minutes to make it to my room, 30 minutes of Internet time I was paying for. We had a small problem at check-in because we had a change in rate during our stay. Their particular system sets this up as two reservations with a connection so that you can stay in the same room. Unfortunately, they forgot to make our keys good for the length of our entire stay. These were minor inconveniences in an otherwise fantastic stay.

I adored our room. The style was so innovative, with cheetah carpeting and plasma TV. We had a wonderful upholstered chair and ottoman in the room - did I forget to say, the very large room. We also had a fabulous full-length lit mirror in our entranceway. Great for giving yourself the once-over before you went out. The bed was very comfortable and I love that they change the bedding every day. We had a separate glass shower and a wonderful deep tub. The vanity was marble and the lighting in the bathroom was stellar for doing your makeup in the makeup mirror. The only housekeeping issue we had was that our bathroom had only one drinking glass; this was odd, to say the least, in a double room. I loved the armoire, a light went on inside as soon as you opened the door, they really have thought of everything. There is even a telephone in the bathroom.

What will bring me back to this hotel again, though, is the marvelous Spa Futuress. I had a body scrub (30 euros) with marine salt and aromatic oil and a stress-relieving facial (60 euros). I was so pampered I didn’t ever want to leave. Le Meridien has the largest indoor pool in Munich and it is gorgeous, with dark blue tiles that make the water look incredibly blue. They have a state-of-the-art gym, steam room, sauna and a BIG hot tub. You will need to exercise to avoid gaining weight from the great breakfast buffet, it is the best I’ve ever had. If buffet isn’t your bag, you can have a continental in the bar, but I wanted to have a made-to-order omelet. The buffet was included with our unbelievable 125-euro rate for the first 3 days, and since we had to leave at 5am on the fourth morning, breakfast was a moot point.
