On September 14, the MEININGER hotel group will celebrate its third new opening this year. The MEININGER Hotel Dresden Center at Wiener Platz is the second hotel in Saxony and the 14th location in Germany.

One of the city's biggest hotels

The MEININGER Hotel Dresden Zentrum offers 173 rooms with 719 beds, ranking it among the hotels with the most beds in the city.

On its four floors, the hotel offers different types of rooms for families, backpackers, groups, and business travelers.

From a roof patio with sun loungers, hotel guests can enjoy a wonderful view of the historic center.

Breakfast in the limelight

"Ode to Joy," the poem once composed by Friedrich Schiller in Dresden and later set to music by Ludwig van Beethoven, was the central theme for the music-inspired hotel design. In the lobby, lounge furniture is arranged according to the note progression of the famous Beethoven composition, while lamps hanging like notes from the ceiling, spotlights and red curtains lend the breakfast area a theatrical atmosphere. And the hotel's interior decor adds an unusual feature in its contemporary interpretation of Dresden's musical history: Every guestroom has a glittering disco ball.

Full use of the building has already started

In addition to the MEININGER Hotel, the building on Wiener Platz also houses a 3,800 m2 Edeka grocery store on the ground floor, which has already been open since September 2021. The 204-meter-long and 40-meter-wide building impresses from the outside with its glittering, rainbow-colored facade. Special crystals allow the building exterior to light up in different colors, depending on the viewer's vantage point.

Historic center location with excellent mobility

Whether it is the Semperoper, the Zwinger or the Frauenkirche, the city's famous tourist attractions can be reached in 20 minutes by foot, and a walk to the historic city center can also include the Prager Strasse shopping mile. The hotel's location will become increasingly more important once the new central bus terminal begins operation in 2025.
