The Eurostars Grand Central Munich hotel belongs to the Eurostars hotel chain. This chain is especially common for people who travel to Spanish-speaking countries like Spain, Argentina, or Mexico. The company is based in Barcelona, Spain.<\/p>

There are three Eurostars hotels in Munich, all within walking distance of Munich’s main train station. But it is interesting to note that the hotel called „Grand Central“ is not as close to Munich’s Main Station as the others (Eurostars Book and Hotel Regent). To be more precise, it is located west of the main station near the Hackerbr\u00fccke, a bridge that every Munich resident knows well, as it is one of the main pedestrian routes to the Oktoberfest. From here it is just a 15-20 minute walk to the Oktoberfest.<\/p>

The Eurostars Grand Central is fairly new<\/strong> (built in 2009) and, like all Eurostars hotels in Germany, is ranked in the luxury class<\/strong>. The Eurostars Grand Central offers the amenities of a 4-star hotel<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Especially the en-suite bathrooms are in black and red and offer an amazing look. All rooms are air-conditioned and have a minibar, safe, hairdryer, radio and a flat-screen TV<\/strong>. There are the following room categories: – Double room (approx. 28sqm \/ 300 sq ft.) – Triple room (double room with extra bed, 28sqm \/ 300 sq ft.) – Junior suite (approx. 42 sqm \/ 452 sp ft.) – Presidential suite (approx. 85 sqm \/ 914 sq ft) – Family Apartment one bedroom (approx. 66 sqm \/ 710 sq ft) – Family Apartment two bedrooms (approx. 80 sqm \/ 861 sq ft) Of course, wifi is available free of charge throughout the hotel<\/strong>.

      Parking:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Parking for cars is available directly in front of the hotel on the street, but only a relatively small number<\/strong>. These are regular street parking lots without special surveillance. Those who want to park their car in a dry place with camera surveillance can use the hotel’s underground car park for a fee<\/strong> of 18.00 EUR per day and vehicle.<\/p>\n

      Public transportation:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

      The Eurostars Grand Central hotel is very well connected to the public transport system<\/strong>. A few steps from the hotel entrance you will find the tramway station<\/strong> „Hackerbr\u00fccke“. A few steps further, there is the urban rail station<\/strong> „Hackerbr\u00fccke“, which offers a fast and direct connection to the city centre (Main Station, Marienplatz).<\/p>\n

      Directly in front of the hotel is a cab stand<\/strong>, so you can directly hop in a taxi after leaving the hotel. Also, the Central Bus Station (ZOB) is around the corner offering national and international long-distance connections<\/strong>. For all of you who are not afraid of a short walk, you can reach both the main station and the old town on foot<\/strong>. It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the main station (north entrance) and about 25 minutes to the old town. From the hotel, it is also possible (and recommended) to reach the Oktoberfest grounds on foot. A short 15-minute walk will bring you there.<\/p>\n

      Approximate time from the hotel (by public transport including walking time):<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • to the city centre (Marienplatz, Town Hall): 10 – 15 minutes<\/li>\n

        The district around the hotel:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

        The hotel is located in the Neuhausen district, or rather in the eastern part of Neuhausen district. The city quarter around the hotel is upscale<\/strong>. There are more hotels along the Arnulfstra\u00dfe. North of the hotel, practically directly opposite, there are tax offices and authorities. Directly south of the hotel there is the city quarter „Arnulfpark“, a quite new, upscale residential area in which also renowned companies like Google or PriceWaterhouseCoopers are located.<\/p>\n

        Food options:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

        The Central Bus Station (ZOB) is located near the hotel (about five minutes‘ walk). There you will find fast food options<\/strong> (Mc Donalds, Oliva (Turkish & Doner Kebab), Pommesfreunde (Belgian fries), Kaimug (Asian), Vapiano (Italian)), a German bakery and an Italian caf\u00e9. A bit further up Arnulfstra\u00dfe, directly opposite the ZOB is the Augustinerkeller<\/strong>. This traditional Bavarian restaurant offers everything the heart desires for fans of Bavarian cuisine<\/strong>. In addition, there is a huge beer garden<\/strong>, which invites you to stop in for a beer with spare ribs or chicken in summer. Those who would like to try different things can explore the area around the hotel. In the Arnulfpark quarter, just behind the hotel, there are a couple of restaurants, but they are more focused on lunch for the surrounding offices. You can also take the tramway to the city centre. Around the historic centre there are countless restaurants<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        Supermarkets:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

        There is a discount supermarket<\/strong> (LIDL) and a drugstore<\/strong> (dm) directly in the ZOB<\/strong>. You will also find a pharmacy<\/strong> there. A little further away, but still within a 10-minute walk, is the Hopfenpost, a former post office building, which now houses a number of doctors, offices, and supermarkets (ALDI, REWE, Denn’s).<\/p>\n

        Going out:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

        The club or discotheque „Neuraum“<\/strong> is located directly in the ZOB. International DJs regularly perform here. Since the club is divided into several areas, several music genres are offered (EDM, RnB, Charts, German Schlager). There are few bars in walking distance around the hotel<\/strong>. Only the Pappasitos, a Mexican restaurant, which also has a fairly large bar area, is worth to be mentioned. More bars can be found either in the city centre or in Neuhausen, around the Rotkreuzplatz. You can walk there within 20 minutes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
