Among the great European art
capitals, Dresden is a unique city, a world museum. Crowning archievements
in German architectural history, such as the Sempper opera house or the
Zwinger, rightly earned this royal seat with its baroque tradition the
nickname of "Florence on Elbe". An entire fleet of white
paddle-steamers is on hand for a romantic trip along the Elbe. The
Moritzburg hunting lodge is a nearby sight well worth visiting, or the
town of Meissen, centre of Europe's first porcelain manufacture. Radebeul
itself offers an unusual attraction: the Karl May Museum with Villa Bärenfett
and Villa Shatterhand - home of the famous adventure story-writer.
This imposing hotel is situated at the foot of the Lössnitzer vineyards
in the exclusive residential suburb of Radebeul. Consisting of the main
hotel building and a collection of 9 villas and taking as its
architectural inspiration the Italian tradition of the villa, this
residence lies just outside the baroque art capita of Dresden. The hotel's
own art collection sets high standards for hotel living in cultured
surroundings.
With its open fireplace, library, TV room/lounge and the "Karl May
Bar", the bright 1500 sq m hotel lobby offers a spectacular welcome.
The "Rienze" bistro-cafe and the "La Vigna" restaurant
with its magnificent garden terrace round off the Italian atmosphere.
