Kempinski Hotel Taschenbergpalais

The history of the Taschenbergpalais goes back to the year 1709, when Augustus the Strong had it built for Countess Cosel by the baroque architect Poeppelmann. It was not long before the Palais became a Center of social life, accommodating crown princes and royal guests. The Building was destroyed during World War II, after which only its morbid beauty gave any hint of its former splendor.

Built by August the Strong in the eighteenth century and recently completely restored, the Kempinski Taschenbergpalais blends baroque style with contemporary elegance. Located in the heart of the historic City of Dresden, it is only a few steps from the famous " Zwinger " and the Semper Opera House, 9 kilometers from Dresden Klotzsche Airport, a short Taxi / Tramcar ride from Dresden's Main Railway Station.

The 155 seat (75 inside / 80 outside) Intermezzo Restaurant serves light modern cuisine, while the 120 seat Paulaner's Bistro provides an informal alternative.
