Picolo recommends · Hotel in Munich, Bavaria
Sofitel Bayerpost
A historic post office facade outside, a tall modern atrium inside, and the trains to the airport just across the road.
The old stone front gives nothing away. Walk in and the former Bavarian post office opens into a soaring, light-filled atrium, with modern rooms set around it and a spa and pool below.
The main station is next door, which makes the hotel a natural stop if you arrive by rail or need to reach the airport early. The S-Bahn, Munich’s suburban rail network, takes you to Marienplatz in a few minutes.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Sofitel Bayerpost
We picked it for practical trips that still deserve some comfort. You can step off a train, check in within minutes and spend the evening in the spa, and the rooms are quiet despite the setting.
The neighbourhood is a station district: busy, a bit rough around the edges and awake at all hours. If you want to stroll out into pretty streets, the old town hotels are a better fit.
