Bahnhofplatz 1, Renaissance Revival commercial building near Central Station, Munich, Germany.

Bahnhofplatz 1 is a commercial building next to Central Station featuring Renaissance Revival characteristics designed by architect Georg von Dollmann. The facade displays classical elements such as columns, ornamental cornices, and balanced window arrangements typical of this style.

Built in 1871 to plans by Georg von Dollmann in the Neo-Renaissance style, it first served as the Oberpostamtsgebäude and royal telegraph central station, later as the Imperial Post and Telegraph Office. Damaged in 1949, it was rebuilt true to the original. It was renovated in 1998 and 2011 for a total of €20 million, and from autumn 2015 to November 2017 most of it was converted into the 25hours Hotel The Royal Bavarian, which opened on 3 November 2017.

The building opened as the Oberpostamtsgebäude and royal telegraph central station, later the Imperial Post and Telegraph Office. Its ground floor still houses a post office branch; until the 1990s this was Munich's only post office open late and on Sundays and holidays. Since 2017 the upper floors hold the 25hours Hotel The Royal Bavarian with 165 rooms.

The location sits right next to Central Station and is easily reached by public transport. Since it is an active commercial building with protected status, you can view the exterior anytime, but should clarify access to interiors beforehand.
