An inn since 1490 beside the Isartor
The Torbräu is right next to the Isartor, one of Munich's medieval gates, where Tal street begins and climbs to Marienplatz. The hotel itself tells its history: the first innkeeper received travellers here in 1490, in 1565 a brewer added a brewery to it and in 1810 the Torbräu's tavern-keeper was responsible for feeding the burghers at the wedding of the future King Ludwig I, the celebration from which the Oktoberfest was born. Since 1903 it has been run by the Kirchlechner family, now in its fourth generation, who have modernised it completely. On the first-floor staircase there is a small museum room with the history of the house.
The rooms
There are seven categories, from the basic single to the suite, with starting prices published on its website: basic single from €145, Basic Queen from €165, standard double from €200, superior from €220, deluxe from €280, junior suite from €300 and suite from €430. The standard double has about 20 m², a 1.80 m double bed with separate mattresses, adjustable air conditioning, satellite television, safe, soundproofed windows and a bathroom with shower or bath. The deluxe rises to 30 m², with sofa, rain shower or bath, bathrobe and L'Occitane toiletries. Wifi is included in all. If you need two separate beds or connecting rooms for travelling with children, the hotel says it arranges this on request.
Eating and drinking
On the ground floor is the Schapeau, an Italian restaurant with its own website, and the Klimt-Bar, decorated with Gustav Klimt motifs, with chaise longues and a piano. The bar is open Tuesday to Thursday from 15:30 to 23:00 and Friday and Saturday until midnight, with a happy hour Tuesday to Thursday from 19:00 to 20:00. Reception can also get tickets for concerts, theatre or football if you ask in good time.
Getting there
From the airport, the S8 S-Bahn drops you at Isartor stop, a couple of minutes away: leave by the Völkerkundemuseum exit and follow the signs for Viktualienmarkt and Tal. From the main station, any S-Bahn towards Ostbahnhof as far as Isartor. The hotel says it has parking next to the door, but does not publish the price. On foot you have the Marienplatz Glockenspiel five minutes away, the Hofbräuhaus another five and the Deutsches Museum about ten, across the Isar.

Tips
- Book on its website The hotel warns on its page of a wave of fake messages to customers of a large booking platform: if you book elsewhere, distrust any request for payment by message.
- Ask for an inner room if you sleep lightly Tal street has life until late. The windows are soundproofed, but it is worth saying so when booking.
- For the Oktoberfest, book months ahead The starting prices are normal-season; at trade fairs and the Oktoberfest they go up.
