Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski München
Room was very nice, although it felt like the living area and/or bedroom could have benefited from a little more storage. Bathroom was really hot but nicely appointed. Breakfast is outstanding as long as you get there early enough to avoid sitting in one of the back rooms. Servers don’t make it back ...

Can’t beat the location nor quality of Hotel Torbrau. Everything is very well appointed. We did have some challenges with the hot water though

Cortiina Hotel
The location is amazing: a few minutes walk from Marienplatz (and so many other key points) yet on such a quiet street.
