The protected neo-classical building of 1889 at the Bebelplatz, in which the State Bank resided, was until 1945 the head office of the Dresdner Bank. After unsuccessful attempts at restitution following German re-unification, the Dresdner Bank built its Berlin headquarters in Pariser Platz. The new owner of the original building was determined to be a subsidiary of Commerzbank.
After 1990 the building had mixed fortunes functioning as a local branch of the Dresdner Bank, (and featured in the film Run Lola Run). In 2004 it was converted as part of the real estate project OpernCarrée by the hotelier Sir Rocco Forte into a luxury hotel (the Hotel de Rome). The hotel opened on 12 October 2006.
