Steigenberger Hotel de Saxe

Steigenberger Hotel de Saxe occupies a five-star position on Neumarkt directly opposite the Frauenkirche — one of Dresden's most photographed views, and one that many of the 185 rooms look straight onto. The hotel was built into the rebuilt square as part of Dresden's old-town reconstruction and reads as both new and historically right. Spa World Comfort runs the wellness floor with several saunas, a steam bath, and a modern fitness studio — a complete spa setup that's well-scaled to the hotel and suits guests who want a wellness session paired with sightseeing without leaving the property. The hotel's restaurants cover regional Saxon and international cooking. The Neumarkt location is genuinely first-rate for travelers chasing Dresden's cultural circuit: the Frauenkirche, Royal Palace, Zwinger, Semper Opera, and the Albertinum museum are all within a few minutes' walk. It's the spa-and-sauna option for guests who want to be in the middle of the rebuilt old town rather than outside it.
