Cobbled streets covered with snow and Christmas Markets filled with the soft aromas of roasting chestnuts and mulled wine, nowhere is Christmas more beautifully celebrated than in the magical winter wonderland of Munich.

Mandarin Oriental, Munich has put together the perfect Romantic Winter Package for those wanting to enjoy Munich at its best. Guests are invited to spend two nights in luxury where they will be enveloped in a traditional Christmas atmosphere with Christmas decorations, including a glimmering tree of their own in-room. As a special treat, guests will receive a beautiful Baccarat crystal tree decoration to unwrap and take home with them as a memento of their stay.
