Hotels

Maritim Hotel Dresden

★ ★ ★ ★

The Maritim Hotel Dresden is located directly on the Elbe cycle path. Thanks to its proximity to the old town, this charming hotel offers ideal conditions for tours to the famous sights. The listed building of the old ‘Erlweinspeicher’ was extensively renovated, making it a real architectural highlight in its own right. And the hotel is not only impressive on the outside, as the 328 rooms and suites offer optimum comfort from 29 square metres. The ‘Wintergarten’ restaurant with Elbe terrace, which has already been honoured as a brunch venue, stands out. In addition to delicious breakfast delicacies, you can enjoy specialities from Dresden here with a view over the Elbe. A nightcap is then served in the elegant bar.

In the wellness area with pool, sanarium, Finnish sauna and steam sauna, you can relax your muscles after your cycle tour. If that's not enough, book an Oriental or Ayurvedic massage with our external partner ‘Göz - das Auge’.
