On the banks of the Elbe in Dresden, the Best Western Plus Hotel Dresden City, Dresden, Germany, is a comfortable hotel near the lively Neustadt, with air-conditioned rooms, a flat-screen TV, high-speed Wi-Fi, and upper-floor rooms that add a coffee machine and a mini-bar.
A hearty breakfast opens the day, a relaxed bar pours a freshly tapped local pilsner in the evening, and a business corner is on hand for work. The famous sights of the old town are an easy walk across the river.
Dresden is one of Germany's great art cities, a grand old capital rebuilt in sandstone along the Elbe River. The grand old Zwinger palace holds the Dresden State Art Collections, where Raphael's Sistine Madonna hangs in the Old Masters gallery and the Green Vault dazzles with one of the world's richest treasuries, while the rebuilt Frauenkirche and the Semper Opera House crown the riverside skyline. River paddle-steamers cruise the Elbe past terraced vineyards.
