Just six months after the ceremonial reopening of the Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden on 15 February 2024, the renovation is now complete. The legacy of Augustus the Strong and Countess Cosel shines through in sublime splendour in its 180 rooms and 31 suites. As soon as guests enter the hotel, they will notice the sophisticated lighting concept in the lobby, with an installation modelled on the course of the River Elbe.

In the Amalie Pâtisserie & Lounge, located in the spacious lobby, as well as in the hotel's own restaurant, Das Palais, guests can enjoy a wide range of exquisite dishes, including creative reinterpretations of tried and tested classics. 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, spoils visitors with an extensive cocktail menu and takes them back to the inspiring era of the 'Roaring Twenties.'

Following the extensive renovation of all rooms and suites, the final highlight, the Royal Suite, was reopened. Combining the King and Queen Suite into one of the largest hotel suites in Germany, it extends over 4100 sq-ft and offers a stylish overall concept of colours and patterns with a careful selection of hand-knotted carpets on the Parquet de Versailles floors and linen wallpaper. The vision of interior designer Markus Hilzinger to create a unique symbiosis of history and modern aesthetics and self-evident elegance has succeeded on every level and makes the Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden a place where luxury steeped in tradition is lived in a contemporary way.

In the spa area on the top floor of the hotel, which had already been modernised before the renovation, baroque accents were integrated, which are based on Dresden's cityscape and fit seamlessly into the overall composition of the hotel. A fitness area, Finnish saunas, a steam bath and an infrared cabin offer a comprehensive wellness programme. The large indoor swimming pool impresses with a sparkling starry sky as a special design element. A wide range of yoga classes, which are offered regularly on the Bel Étage, and a selection of individual treatments complete the hotel's wellness programme.

Thus equipped, the Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski is ideally suited for the next decade.
