Hotel Cocoon: Bedroom
Hotel Cocoon certainly makes an impression with its olive green and tangerine orange motif. That’s exactly what owner Johannes Eckelmann had in mind when he opened what he calls his "lifestyle" hotel in May 2008.

Aimed squarely at young urbanites, Cocoon steals a page from stylish boutique hotels popping up in other top European and American cities, and if Eckelmann has his way, will start a trend here in Munich.

And, why not? The concept is easy enough to embrace. Who could resist the dangling pod chairs in the lobby, egg-shaped chairs in the rooms, flat-panel TVs, and revamped, totally-wired workspace? Even the sinks and showers are cool (although, personally, I'm not a big fan of the full-length mirror on the wall opposite the doorless shower stall, but, if it floats your boat…)

The hotel, located on a tree-lined street a short distance from the heart of Munich, also keeps budget-conscious travelers in mind, too. Singles are normally 69€, and doubles 89€. Breakfast is an extra 9€. Naturally, like in most places in Munich during Oktoberfest and other big events, prices increase to 179€ and 199€, respectively.
