"As Munich locals, we spent one night at the Rosewood Munich, which is located in a calm street right next to the upper-scale section of the central pedestrian shopping zone. The former bank buildings in that street, including the Rosewood itself, are breathtakingly beautiful, and the historic decorations in the entrance area of the hotel impressive. Locationwise, we would not know a more suitable place in Munich. Our expectations were not overwhelming after a rather disappointing previous experience at the bar as external guests. Even though the doormen could be more attentive towards arriving guests, the front desk reception by Vanessa was excellent, very friendly, and even a sparkling welcome drink was offered. The lovely front desk team also made sure of an amazing upgrade to a wonderful Deluxe Suite, even though our booking had been made only one day in advance of our arrival. The Suite design was beautiful, the relaxing sounds of the courtyard including the ring of Central Munich's church bells made sure of an outstanding acoustic Munich experience. The housekeeping took excellent care of the very clean room that offered a great bathroom including a good shower and very enjoyable bath tub. The wide selection of bathroom amenities must be applauded, yet, as at many hotels, we did not quite understand why amenities were only prepared for one person when two guests were announced. Internet was very fast, the bed comfortable. Unfortunately, the telephone system was not working well. The welcome wine, an exquisite sparkling wine from Austria, was a great surprise, also the hand-written card, which would have seemed even more personal with both guest names on it. Despite the very friendly welcome, it took us some time to get used to the breakfast concept, which is a combination of buffet and à-la-carte options. But in general, breakfast was good with barista coffee. It was a little surprising that no sparkling wine was proactively offered because that offer is very common in the German speaking sphere. Upon request, we were able to enjoy a lovely Austrian rosé. Also, in Munich and alongside white sausages - those were excellent by the way - beer is frequently offered, not at Rosewood though. In total, the breakfast was still a pleasant overall experience. The pool was nice and relaxing, not crowded, and equipped with many water massage devices. In total, we are very grateful for a short, but very generous and luxurious time out in our own hometown. Finally, we have experienced a Munich hotel worth returning to, even as Munich residents."

"My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at the Rosewood in Munich. I researched hotels extensively before our trip and selected the Rosewood. I'm so glad we did! It is a very upscale property in the middle of a lovely neighborhood with high-end shops within walking distance. (We also happened to travel in late November during the season of Christmas markets which made our trip extraordinary!) The hotel seemed newly remodeled with welcoming, attractive decor in the lobby and restaurant. We stayed in a luxurious "deluxe king one-bedroom suite" overlooking the center courtyard so it was nice and quiet. (Perhaps in the summer one might hear people conversing in the courtyard patio, but in the winter, the room was incredibly quiet.) The room was wonderfully spacious and beautifully furnished with high ceilings that contributed to its opulent feel. There was a generously-sized bathroom with magnificent marble features, a very comfortable bed and every amenity you could desire. The champagne that greeted us upon arrival was also a welcome surprise. We also appreciated that the room was impeccably clean. The room had the latest technology in lighting and to operate the blackout curtains. However, we confess that we struggled to push the correct buttons to turn the lights on and off in the various rooms in the suite from the wall panel; likewise, we were also perplexed by the wall buttons to operate the curtains as sometimes they worked, but other times they did not. This is a minor critique, as we truly did enjoy our stay immensely. We also recommend the Rosewood's breakfast as not only was the food and service exemplary, but the dining room was a most attractive space in which to start the day. We also appreciated the stellar service from every single staff member whom we met beginning with the warm welcome from the front desk staff member. She introduced us to other staff including the concierge and offered us a tour of the property before bringing us to our room. Likewise, the staff in the dining room were also gracious and kind. Everyone made us feel so welcome and at home such that we are already talking about our next visit. Our stay was perfect in so many ways and we just wanted to thank everyone at the hotel who played a small role in helping us to have a vacation to remember!"
