The Flushing Meadows Hotel The rooftop bar functions as a lobby during the day since the hotel only takes two floors of the building and with a neat design, this suits me just fine.

The Flushing Meadows Hotel The rooftop bar has some mean cocktails and despite the pandemic fright doesn’t have a curfew and is open until last guest leaves. Very refreshing especially for those birthday drinks!

The Flushing Meadows Hotel The service has been above and beyond. We could park our car in the staff parking, which for a busy city like Munich, was a God send.
