PRESTIGIOUS HOTEL
Named after renowned hotelier Charles Forte, The Charles Hotel has an effortless grace that permeates all its 160 rooms and suites.
Those looking for an uncompromisingly luxurious stay should consider the Monforte Royal Suite, a sublime top-floor residence with 200 square metres of living space, curated antiques, a grand piano, private steam room and two walk-in rain showers. All rooms, however, are elegant havens in their own right, with some of the largest interiors in the city and views – from most – overlooking the Old Botanical Gardens.
Fresh, seasonal breakfasts, lunches and dinners can be enjoyed at Sophia’s Restaurant overlooking the gardens, but you can also choose to dine in the comfort of your room. The cosy library lounge is the perfect place to catch up on some reading – cup of tea in hand – whilst the spa offers you a state-of-the-art fitness centre, sauna and Munich’s largest indoor pool.

The destinations were fabulous, but what really stood out was the care and patience Tania showed as she guided me and my sister through every question and hesitation. Nothing felt rushed or too much trouble. The result? A truly wonderful holiday. Thank you.
Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
