Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden

My second stay. The hotel is truly beautiful - new rooms with contemporary luxury design. Everything is perfect. Please, the breakfast restaurant also needs to be renovated - it looks terrible, 90s design. It greatly reduces the overall impression of the hotel.

Our stay at Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden was simply wonderful. The rooms were beautifully designed — colorful, warm, and inviting — making it a joy to return to after exploring the city. Every detail felt thoughtful and refined. The bar was a highlight, with an impressive cocktail selection from around the world and an interactive menu that made the experience even more fun. We spent a great evening discovering new flavors. If I had to mention one thing, the indoor pool was colder than expected, which made it a bit hard to fully enjoy. Still, it didn’t take away from how much we loved our stay. Dresden is stunning, and this hotel made the experience even more unforgettable. I would absolutely return.

A grand hotel in the best Kempinski mode: formal, fully staffed, well appointed and gracious. Great -- yes, great -- breakfast buffet. Access to good restaurants, some part of, some adjacent to the hotel. Location in the center of things, within a stroll of the major museums, opera, galleries, and all.

I’m not sure my stay warrants a full review as I arrived very late and had to leave the following morning but I still somehow had a marvellous time even though I slept for most of it. What I want from a 5 star hotel is for everything to be easy and for them to anticipate what I might want. I had a nightmare of day and when I eventually arrived my car was parked for me without fuss, check in was easy and friendly. Drink service in the bar was a bit slower than I would like but the drinks were excellent. There was a bottle of sparkling wine in my room as a treat but I unfortunately didn’t get to enjoy it. The room was stunning and a very comfortable place to chill. I slept very well. Breakfast was outstanding and check out was effortless. Probably spent less than 12 hours there but very keen to return to enjoy the amenities to a greater extent and to actually see some of Dresden.

Few hotels can claim to offer superb service, excellent rooms and facilities, first class restaurants and a wonderful location. This one can! There is something to be said for walking into a hotel which has been so beautifully and tastefully “renovated” from an old Palace - and feel one has left the world outside behind.
