What they say
Two Michelin Keys
Michelin
An extensive renovation has upgraded the hotel’s interiors to match the painstaking historical accuracy of its facade, while taking inspiration from local landmarks…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the Innere Altstadt, the hotel stands directly across from the ornate Zwinger pavilion, Dresden Castle, and the historic Semperoper.
The rooms
Linen wallpapers and palettes of sandstone and sage accompany high ceilings, double-height casement windows, and underfloor-heated stone vanities.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated to 28 degrees Celsius beneath a vaulted ceiling, the indoor pool is lined with recessed daybed alcoves.
The spa and gym
Two aroma-infused Finnish saunas and a steam bath sit alongside private treatment rooms and a modern fitness studio.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Kastenmeiers
This courtyard restaurant serves fresh seafood, oysters, and sashimi alongside the hotel's morning breakfast buffet.
At the table
Bar 1705 pours cocktails and whiskies beneath dark wood wainscoting, and the inner courtyard opens for summer dining.
How it began
Commissioned in 1705 by Augustus the Strong for Countess Cosel, the Baroque palace was faithfully reconstructed following its destruction in 1945.
