Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden Retains Two MICHELIN Keys, Reinforcing Its Position as a Leading Luxury Hotel

Dresden, September 2026 – Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden has successfully retained its two MICHELIN Keys in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide. Following its comprehensive renovation and glamorous reopening in 2024, this renewed accolade is a testament to the consistently high quality and exceptional guest experience offered by the five-star luxury hotel in the heart of the Saxon capital.

Once again, the Taschenbergpalais has been recognised by the renowned MICHELIN Guide with two MICHELIN Keys for its outstanding service and excellent quality of stay. This prestigious distinction is presented to hotels that offer a truly exceptional stay, where distinctive personality, European elegance and consistently high quality define the overall guest experience.

"We are exceptionally proud to have once again been awarded two MICHELIN Keys and to maintain our position as one of the leading addresses in the region, as well as a flagship within the global Kempinski family. Following our comprehensive redesign and reopening in 2024, this is a wonderful confirmation that we are not only seamlessly upholding our high standards but also continually inspiring our guests anew," says Marten Schwass, Managing Director of Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden.

"This recognition is first and foremost owed to our dedicated staff. They pay meticulous attention to every detail and bring first-class Kempinski service to life every single day. The award inspires us to constantly evolve and create unforgettable experiences during every stay."

The MICHELIN Guide highlights the most outstanding hotels worldwide. Its exacting evaluation is based on five criteria: excellence in architecture and interior design – which at the Taschenbergpalais is reflected in a masterful symbiosis of historic Baroque and contemporary design – as well as high and consistent quality in service, comfort and maintenance; the personality and unique character of the property; value for money; and the hotel’s contribution to the local experience.

As an architectural jewel in the immediate vicinity of world-famous Dresden landmarks such as the Semperoper, the Zwinger and the Residenzschloss, the Taschenbergpalais embodies these criteria at an extraordinary level.

The renewed award of two MICHELIN Keys underscores the strong international position of Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski Dresden in the realm of exclusive hospitality and reinforces Dresden’s reputation as a premier destination for discerning travellers from around the globe.
