Kempinski Airport

This five-star affair is so close to Munich Airport that you have a ringside view of the runway. Centred around a stylish, glass-walled atrium, the 389 excellently sound-proofed, all-mod-con rooms enjoy king-size beds, gargantuan mirrors and celebrity-style bathrooms. If you’re suffering from jet lag, the Fit & Fly health club with its state-of-the-art swimming pool promises to pamper. There are also two rather elegant restaurants; one specialises in international theme buffets, the other offers authentic Asian and Mediterranean cuisine against a designer garden backdrop.
