Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden

Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden is an iconic European grand hotel. Built in the 18th century by Saxon King Augustus the Strong as a declaration of love for his favourite mistress, the property was faithfully restored in 1995 and underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2024. Today, the Grand Hotel stands as a harmonious blend of baroque artistry and contemporary sophistication. The recent renovation thoughtfully preserved the cultural and architectural heritage of the Saxon capital while embracing the refined expectations of today’s luxury travelers. Ideally situated in the heart of Dresden’s historic city centre, the hotel is surrounded by the city’s most renowned landmarks, including the Semper Opera House, the Royal Palace and the Dresden Zwinger. The property offers 211 elegantly appointed guest rooms, including 31 spacious suites. Guests can enjoy diverse culinary experiences at three distinct dining venues: the French Lobby Pâtisserie & Lounge, a tribute to Saxon Princess Amalie; the atmospheric hotel bar, evoking the glamour of the 1920s; and Das Palais restaurant, which showcases refined seasonal cuisine. The suites are particularly striking, thoughtfully curated with meticulous attention to detail, complementing the hotel’s three signature room design styles. The largest suite, measuring approximately 380 sq m, offers an unparalleled residential experience, featuring luxurious amenities such as a bathtub sculpted from a single block of black marble. The hotel’s picturesque inner courtyard invites guests throughout the year to enjoy a tranquil open-air setting - whether for peaceful moments of relaxation or engaging social gatherings - while exploring the culinary richness of the Palais. With sweeping views of Dresden’s Old Town, the Bel Etage offers an exceptional venue for meetings, conferences, exclusive dinners and memorable cocktail receptions. All six function rooms are interlinked by connecting doors and can be individually accessed via the grand baroque double staircase, creating a dramatic entrance for elegant events. Additionally, the flexible ballroom and the 800 sq m inner courtyard each accommodate up to 500 guests, offering versatile settings for prestigious occasions.
