The capital city of the southern German state of Bavaria, Munich, is an old city with Gothic-style buildings and centuries-old culture. History buffs must take a stroll around Marienplatz, the city’s main square dotted with historic monuments such as Old Town Hall, Mariensaule (the column of St. Mary), and the tower of the Neues Rathaus. For a bird’s-eye view of the city, head to the viewing platform of St Peter’s church. Other noteworthy attractions here include Nymphenburg Palace, Haus der Kunst (a contemporary art museum), and the 18th-century English Garden. So, are you prepared to be swept away by the charm of this old city? For an extraordinary experience, book one of these top historic hotels in Munich, Germany.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) properties with historic significance, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on March 22, 2024.

1. Alpen Hotel München (from USD 111)

Alpen Hotel München is privately owned by a family and is conveniently located in the center of Munich, making traveling around easy. It is where classic living and modern comforts come together in a harmonious mix under one roof. Some rooms have alpine design, complete with Old Munich flair.

If you’re here to splurge, opt for the Hofgarten Suite that has wooden flooring, spa shower, noise-insulated windows, and an electric fireplace. The buffet breakfast offers an extensive spread to ensure every guest has a good start to the day.

Old town of Munich Old town of Munich Alte Pinakothek

Only about a 20-minute walk from Alpen Hotel München is Alte Pinakothek. This art museum is home to more than 700 pieces of art from the 14th to 18th centuries. Also within 20 minutes is the old town of Munich. I recommend a free walking tour to learn more about the city's history.
