Overview

Located in the heart of the old town, the Taschenbergpalais was originally built in 1709 as a residence for Prince August the Strong's mistress, Countess Cosel. Destroyed during the Second World War, the building was reconstructed in the 1990s using-as much as possible-the original bricks and stones. The five-star hotel is probably the finest in Dresden and is often used for state visits. The restaurant, the Vestibül Café and the Allegro Bar are popular with residents and locals alike.
