Bed...

The Kempinski Hotel Airport has 343 rooms and 46 suites. I stayed in a standard double room (3122) in the hotel's west wing on a recent visit to Munich International Airport, and I was pleased with my accommodation.

The large window, which overlooked the hotel garden, was double-glazed to block out noise from jets and other airport traffic. To my surprise, I was able to open the window when I wanted fresh air. (That's when I realized just how excellent the soundproofing was!)

...and breakfast

Breakfast is not included in the Monday-to-Thursday rates, because many of the Kempinski's business travelers start off their day with breakfast in a conference room or on a departing airplane.

Several breakfast options are available:

Room service (Continental-, American-, or Bavarian-style).
An excellent breakfast buffet in the Charles Lindbergh Restaurant (see photo above).
At the Espresso Bar in the lobby, where you can grab a coffee and croissant.

Breakfast prices are quite high on weekdays, but weekend rates often include a free buffet breakfast. Another option, if you aren't on expense account, is to get breakfast at München Airport Center next door.

Lunch and dinner

The Kempinski Hotel Airport has several dining choices:

The Charles Lindbergh Restaurant, which offers lunch and dinner buffets plus an à la carte menu. The daily theme buffets (including a special Sunday buffet) attract local people as well as visitors.
The Spirit of St. Louis Bistro has cold plates, snacks, and Italian dishes.
The Espresso Bar near the reception desk supplies coffee, pastries, and other refreshments from early morning until late evening.

In summer, the Kempi Garden serves Weißwürste (delicious veal sausages) and other Munich specialties outdoors until 11 p.m. in good weather.

Finally, the Night Flight Bar in the lobby offers drinks amid the palm trees in the Kempinski Hotel Airport lobby.
