Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 3 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski München is for travellers who want Munich on their doorstep and the feel of a traditional grand hotel. It stands on Maximilianstraße, among the city's luxury boutiques, with Marienplatz, the Bavarian State Opera and the Hofgarten a short walk away. Guests talk most warmly about the location, the attentive staff and the elegant lobby, and many single out the breakfast at the Schwarzreiter Tagesbar. The bar, the fine-dining restaurant and the indoor pool mean you need not leave the building in the evening. The trade-off is value. Guests rate it lower than anything else, and some found their rooms small for the price, especially during trade fairs. The building shows its age in places, with flexing floors and stairs in some areas, and the pool is modest. Choose it for the address and the atmosphere; if you want the most space per night, look elsewhere.
Guests score it 8.7 out of 10 — the average across the 8 hotels we list in Munich is 9.0.
What Guests Loved
- Location is what guests praise most often. The hotel stands among the luxury shops of Maximilianstraße, and Marienplatz, the Bavarian State Opera, the Hofbräuhaus and the Hofgarten are all within a few minutes on foot, which makes it easy to explore the city without a car.
- Guests describe the staff as friendly, polite and quick to respond, from check-in and the breakfast team to the valet parking, and several call the service the highlight of the stay.
Things to Consider
- Value for money is the point guests rate lowest. Some found their rooms small for the price, particularly when trade fairs and conferences push rates up.
- The historic building has its quirks: guests mention floors that flex a little, stairs in some areas that make parts of the hotel hard to reach without steps, and showers with awkward wall controls.
