The new constructed Hotel Innside Dresden is located in the heart of the historic city centre of Dresden between the famous cathedral 'Frauenkirche', the river Elbe and the Semper Opera House.

In the late 1990s, with the planning and redevelopment of the neighborhoods adjacent to the Neumarkt, began the most important project of recent urban development in the history of Dresden after World War II. And, at this historic place around the Frauenkirche, a number of buildings of different design - from historicist to modern – were developed.The "Innside Dresden" continues the development of the place as a modern house with a modern interpretation of the historic facades around, because Innside by Melia is a very innovativ thinking brand, what should be signalized to the outside.

The windows of the hotel rooms are, as once their baroque predecessors at this place, the essential design elements of the outer facade - this time with modern ornaments, for example, instead of profiled and stuccoed jamb there is a set-back, wide stone frame around the actual window opening. Animated by wooden shutters and crowned by simple cornice, the window motif is repeated in the light plaster facade.

As a special architectural and urban element the Innside Premium Hotel presents itself with an open courtyard - a return to the baroque buildings and a novelty at Neumarkt, where most of the newly built district courts have been covered and converted to interior rooms.

Equally noteworthy is a very valuable classified and reconstructed so-called “Leitbau building”, Rampische Street no.19. It impressed with its Baroque exterior façade not only the street space, but stands as a historic house - as a kind of "souvenir" - in the midst of the modern hotel complex. The facade reconstruction is done in close cooperation with the State Conservation Office and the Town Planning Department of the City of Dresden.

A narrow, two-story entrance leads from the Rampischen road into the hotel, while the actual hotel entrance lies behind a street arcade on the Salzgasse - inside the building complex.

T

he first impressions are striking - upon entry a very open and airy atrium core with a decidedly modern look and feel. There is an extensive use of glass in the ground level including the elevators, bathing the entire area in natural light.

The 2010 opened 180 guestroom hotel distinguishes itself through contemporary exterior and interior design. Each guestroom was individually decorated, most of the furniture designed by the architects of the house themselves.

A lounge restaurant is integrated in the centre of an open atrium for up to 120 people and a cool and intimate cocktail bar, named TWIST, on the top floor of the building offers spectacular views overlooking the famous 'Frauenkirche'. A Spa offering a range of relaxing treatments is situated in the basement.
