Rocco Forte The Charles Hotel is an elegant five-star hotel set next to Alter Botanischer Garten — Munich's historic botanic garden — only a few minutes from Marienplatz and Karlsplatz. The Rocco Forte stable consistently delivers a particular kind of European five-star, and The Charles is the Munich chapter: modern design layered onto Bavarian tradition.
De Vrigny Spa runs the wellness offering with an indoor swimming pool, a traditional sauna, a steam bath, and a whirlpool, paired with treatment rooms covering aromatherapy massages, deep tissue work, and facials. The spa also runs Pilates and yoga classes for guests who want active recovery rather than passive treatments.
The Charles works best for travelers who want a sauna paired with a quiet park-side setting that's still walking distance from central Munich. Restaurant Sophia's serves Mediterranean cooking in an elegant dining room that pulls in locals as well as hotel guests, and the position lets you switch between the cultural buzz of Marienplatz and the calm of the botanic garden inside a single afternoon.
