Hotel Cocoon

Top choice in Munich


Fans of retro design will strike gold in this central lifestyle hotel. Things kick off in reception, with its faux-'70s veneer and dangling '60s ball chairs, and continue in the rooms. All are identical, decorated in retro oranges and greens and fully technologically equipped.

The glass showers stand in the sleeping area, with only a kitschy Alpine-meadow scene veiling life's vitals.
