Gay hotels in Munich are best found in the Glockenbachviertel and around Gärtnerplatz, the heart of the queer scene. If you live here, you have bars, cafés and trendy shops right on your doorstep and can walk everywhere. The most famous address is the Hotel Deutsche Eiche on Reichenbachstraße, a traditional gay house in the middle of the district. In the surrounding area, there are also smaller hotels and guesthouses that are explicitly aimed at gay guests or are openly queer-friendly.
But you don't have to commit to the Glockenbachviertel. In the old town, Maxvorstadt and around the main train station, there are numerous gay-friendly hotels where no one looks funny when two men book a double room. Munich is considered cosmopolitan, and dealing with queer guests is a matter of course in everyday life. Which location is worthwhile depends on what you have in mind: If you are looking for scene and nightlife, the shortest drive is from the Glockenbachviertel; if you are planning sightseeing and museums, the Old Town or Maxvorstadt are central. Plan early if your visit falls on Christopher Street Day at the end of June or Oktoberfest, as the houses are booked up quickly and prices rise significantly. The following selection will help you find the right accommodation.
