It will be called The Charles Hotel, in honour of Sir Rocco Forte�s father,
renowned hotelier Lord Charles Forte.
The Charles Hotel is The Rocco Forte Collection�s third German property, joining Hotel de Rome in Berlin (which opened in October 2006) and Villa Kennedy in Frankfurt (which opened in March 2006), and confirms The Rocco Forte Collection as the key player in the luxury hotel market in Germany. Located in the heart of the Bavarian city of Munich, guests of The Charles
Hotel will be guaranteed a peaceful stay with great views over the area
known as Lenbach Gärten (which lies on the edge of the Botanical Gardens).
Ideal for business and leisure travellers, the hotel is within walking
distance of the commercial district, popular shopping areas and entertainment
facilities. It is also well located for transport links, being close
to the city�s main train station, The Hauptbahnhof, with the Franz Josef
Strauss airport lying just 28 km northeast of Munich.
