The History of The Charles Hotel

Built on the site of a former university library, our hotel was established in 2007 as part of the new Lenbach Gardens. It was named in honour of Sir Rocco Forte’s father, renowned hotelier Lord Charles Forte. Our Monforte Royal Suite bears the name of the Italian village where the family originated.

19th Century Art

Our hotel displays a large collection of original paintings by Munich’s celebrated 19th century artist, Franz von Lenbach. The painter once lived just a footstep away. 

Art Deco Curves

Like the hotel designed by architect Christoph Sattler, many pieces were inspired by the building’s Art Deco curves, such as the sofas shaped to mirror the hotel façade.

Set within the verdant Lenbachgärten quarter and close to the historic Königsplatz, the effortlessly elegant Charles Hotel in Munich is where contemporary style meets traditional Bavarian hospitality.
