What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
A well-run city-centre establishment, the Hotel am Schloss offers an exterior that blends perfectly with its historic surroundings and chic modern design and spacious rooms and common areas inside.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Residenzschloss stands directly across the street. The Zwinger and Neumarkt square are both a two-minute walk away.
The rooms
Most rooms look straight out at the Residenzschloss, with clean-lined modern furniture and delicate porcelain motifs on the walls.
The saunas
Heated mosaic benches and footbaths sit beside Finnish and bio saunas, illuminated by pendant chandeliers.
The spa and gym
Treatment rooms host classic massages and facials, and the basement gym has cardio machines and free weights.
Bar
Schlossbar
Tufted leather sofas surround a dark marble counter serving regional wines, draught beers, and evening snacks.
At the table
Wohnstube serves buffet breakfasts and regional Saxon dishes beside a white marble counter with integrated wine coolers.
How it began
Archaeological digs on the vacant lot in 2008 uncovered the long-lost home of Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, the architect behind the Zwinger.
