Just six months after the ceremonial reopening of the Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden in February, the renovation is now complete. Built in 1705 as the city palace by the famous Saxon King Augustus the Strong and gifted to his mistress, Countess Constantia von Cosel, this hotel has 180 rooms and 31 suites. As soon as guests enter the hotel, they will notice a unique lighting concept in the lobby, modelled on the course of the River Elbe.
When it comes to the hotel's dining choices, guests can enjoy a wide range of dishes, including creative reinterpretations of classics in the Amalie Pâtisserie & Lounge, located in the lobby, and in the hotel's own restaurant, Das Palais. The seafood restaurant Kastenemeiers, with its special selection of fish and seafood, is another culinary addition. The Bar 1705, named after the year the Taschenbergpalais was founded, offers an extensive cocktail menu and takes guests back to the era of the ‘Roaring Twenties.’
Following the extensive renovation of all rooms and suites by interior designer Markus Hilzinger, the final highlight, the Royal Suite, was reopened. Combining the King and Queen Suite, it has become one of the largest hotel suites in Germany, extending over 4,100 square feet and complete with hand-knotted carpets on the Parquet de Versailles floors and linen wallpaper.
In the spa area on the hotel's top floor, which had been modernized prior to the renovation, baroque accents were introduced, inspired by Dresden's cityscape. The wellness offerings include a fitness area, Finnish saunas, a steam bath and an infrared cabin, alongside a large indoor swimming pool with a sparkling starry sky as a special design element. Additionally, a wide range of yoga classes, regularly held on the Bel Étage, and a variety of personalized treatments complete the comprehensive wellness program.
