Munich's old town and Lehel together cover the central core inside the medieval ring road, Marienplatz with the Neue Rathaus glockenspiel, the Frauenkirche twin towers, the Viktualienmarkt food hall, the Residenz, Maximilianstraße's couture mile, and the museum-edge calm of Lehel. The chapter accepts the rooms that earn their central postcode: Tantris City, Pageou, Schreiberei, the Bayerischer Hof and Vier Jahreszeiten dining axis, plus Dallmayr's mother-room. The traveller uses the hood for the formal lunch and the after-Pinakothek dinner.
