What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Inside, its 27 suites go all in on vivid colors and graphic impact, and there isn’t a minimalist one among them, even the monochrome Whiteout: think oversize prints, whimsical light fixtures, and left-field themes, no two alike.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Pirna's historic Altstadt is a short bridge crossing over the Elbe, with the sandstone cliffs of Saxon Switzerland just upriver.
The rooms
Suites follow individual cinematic themes, with bold patterned wallpapers and modular Italian furniture looking onto a quiet courtyard.
The sauna
Blonde wood chaises sit beneath a ceiling of living moss and ferns, beside an illuminated glass sauna cabin.
Restaurant
Lazy Laurich
Black-and-white stripes wrap the dining room and garden terrace, where evening menus draw from small Saxon family farms.
At the table
Bright pink chairs gather around long tables in the central courtyard, catching the morning sun between the hotel wings.
How it began
The Seidel family held this ground for 120 years, naming the hotel for grandmother Gerti Laurich and patterning tiles with her favorite lily.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
