The history of the Hotel Taschenbergpalais traces back to the year 1705 when August the Strong commissioned his master architect Pöppelmann to design and construct a palace for his favorite concubine, Countess Cosel. The Palais soon evolved into a cultural centre, accommodating crowned princes and the king's most esteemed guests. Tragically, the building was destroyed during the Second World War and ruins were the only sign left of these magnificent times.

Today, the hotel has again become a favorite spot for Dresdner’s and enchants guests from all over the world with every possible modern comfort and luxury.

Each of the 183 guest rooms and 31 suites feature individually controlled air-conditioning, three telephones with ISDN lines, fax machine and modem connections, color television, radio, mini-bar, and safe.
