Welcome to GRAND HOTEL TASCHENBERGPALAIS KEMPINSKI Dresden - with interior photos by Wolfgang STAHR c/o NERGER M&O

History retold. GRAND HOTEL TASCHENBERGPALAIS KEMPINSKI in Dresden has just been renovated from top to bottom, and its rooms, suites, lobbies, and other areas open to the public have now been remodeled. With all the hallmarks of a palace, the hotel has been luxuriously modernized in elegance while honoring its heritage – precisely to the taste of guests visiting the capital of Saxony.

The unique ensemble GRAND HOTEL TASCHENBERGPALAIS KEMPINSKI Dresden was photographed by Wolfgang STAHR c/o NERGER M&O.

Originally opened in 1995, the grand hotel steeped in tradition raised the bar
in terms of design and service – and continues to do so to this day. Meanwhile, following nearly three decades of five-star hospitality, Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden reopened in February 2024 after undergoing extensive renovations. Three leading architectural offices and design studios, i.e., MH Studio Berlin, hp developments as well as TSSB architekten, were commissioned with the design, interior design and comprehensive renovation work.

Interior designer Markus Hilzinger skillfully interwove the historical heritage of the hotel into his work, creating an extraordinary and unparalleled symbiosis between history and contemporary elegance. His intention was to preserve the character of the Taschenbergpalais – balancing its rich architectural history with modern innovations to meet the discerning demands of today’s hotel guests.

“Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden is certainly one of the most dazzling hotels in the German-speaking world. After all, no other hotel pairs history and hospitality as effortlessly and elegantly as here. It was built out of love by a ruler known as one of the most appreciative of the arts and architecture of the Baroque period, who collected rare art treasures but also established the first European porcelain manufactory.” Markus Hilzinger, MH Studio Berlin.

The Taschenberg Palais in Dresden was constructed as an unparalleled ensemble by the flamboyant ruler August the Strong for Countess von Cosel starting in 1705. Alongside Aurora von Königsmarck, the Countess was August’s most famous mistress. Almost completely destroyed by the end of WWII in 1945, the Taschenbergpalais was rebuilt from the ground up between 1992 and 1995 using old plans and original materials, including the external walls, which had remained intact.

After Countess Cosel had fallen from grace with Augustus the Strong in 1713 and her subsequent banishment, the Taschenbergpalais was named ‘Turkish Palais’ in 1715/1716 and partially renovated accordingly. Construction was expanded several times throughout the 150 years that followed. At 84 years of age, Anna Constantia von Cosel died on 31 March 1765 at Stolpen Castle, where she had been imprisoned for half a century. She was also buried there.
