"This hotel, with its individual and cosy rooms, is the sister enterprise of the Koinigshof, where you will also find the leisure area."
"This is a low-key, discreet, highly Europeanized hotel with a resolute lack of glitter."

"The interiors of this hotel near Hauptbahnhof and the pedestrian zone are reminiscent of an idyllic country retreat. Geisel’s vinothèque is a must for all wine lovers."

"Grand hotel set in a magnificent palace... The rooms are exclusively designed in six different styles."
"Okay, so the Vier Jahreszeiten has pulled in some royals in its time, but the even more venerable Bayerischer Hof wins the celeb face-off hands down."
"Luxury hotel in the heart of Munich built in 1841 on the orders of Ludwig I and now also occupying the neighbouring Palais Montgelas."
"This 1841-opened hotel is an almost unique combination of luxury, history, and accessibility."

"Family-owned hotel with a vaulted restaurant that serves Bavarian fare (sausage and strudel) and, on Sundays, a popular brunch. ."

"An institution among hotels worldwide and now in the hands of the fourth generation, this family-owned luxury hotel features 395 rooms and suites, each with its own style."
"Like the slightly less luxurious Konigshof, this too is a family-run operation, having been in the same hands for more than a century. It remains among the top three in Munich."

"The entrance and roof garden are a dramatic departure from the original design, with sophisticated lighting elements dominating the entrance and decorated alcoves lending the space warmth and intimacy."

"A hotel dating to 1841, that nurtures its history, but one that recognises that visitors demand super-modern amenities."
