Overview
Bülow Palais is a luxury hotel in Dresden, Germany, situated in the Innere Neustadt district within the Baroque Quarter (Barockviertel) on Königstraße. It opened in February 2010, built on the last vacant lot on Königstraße, directly opposite the Dreikönigskirche. The building's façade was designed to blend with the original Baroque townhouses of the area. The hotel is part of the Relais & Châteaux association and is operated alongside its sister property, the four-star Bülow Residenz, located about 170 metres away in a restored heritage building. The hotel offers 58 elegantly appointed rooms and suites across three floors, featuring a Baroque-modern style with fine fabrics, light colours, and rich wood tones. Amenities include a restaurant, spa and fitness area, and meeting facilities. The on-site restaurant Caroussel held a Michelin star from 2006 to 2021, with Benjamin Biedlingmaier serving as head chef from May 2013 to 2021. The name Caroussel refers to historical equestrian spectacles in Dresden. Both Bülow Palais and Bülow Residenz were developed with the involvement of Swiss designer Carlo Rampazzi. The hotels are managed by hotel director Ralf J. Kutzner, while Robbert van Rijsbergen serves as host and general manager, welcoming guests with a focus on individual hospitality and consistent service. The property targets discerning travellers seeking a central yet quiet location near Dresden's famous landmarks such as the Frauenkirche, Residenzschloss, Zwinger, and Semperoper. The Bülow Residenz, the sister hotel, was established in a Baroque townhouse built in 1730 by city master builder Johann Gottfried Fehre. Acquired in 1990 by Monika and Horst Bülow from Stuttgart, it was restored and opened as a four-star hotel in 1993 with 23 rooms and five suites. The Bülow Palais expanded the group's presence in Dresden, continuing the family's hospitality tradition.
History
The Bülow Palais was built in February 2010 on the last vacant lot on Königstraße in Dresden, directly opposite the Dreikönigskirche. Part of the construction site had previously been occupied by the parish house of the church before its destruction in World War II. The façade was designed to match the original Baroque townhouses of the Dresden Baroque Quarter. The hotel opened with 46 rooms and twelve suites across three floors. The restaurant Caroussel, which had been awarded a Michelin star from 2006 to 2021, moved to the Bülow Palais from the earlier Bülow Residenz. Benjamin Biedlingmaier served as head chef from May 2013 to 2021. The name Caroussel refers to historical equestrian spectacles in Dresden. The Bülow Palais and the Bülow Residenz were developed with the involvement of Swiss designer Carlo Rampazzi. Both hotels are managed by hotel director Ralf J. Kutzner. The sister hotel, Bülow Residenz, is located 170 metres away in a restored cultural monument. That building, a townhouse at Rähnitzgasse 19, was erected in 1730 by city master builder Johann Gottfried Fehre as a representative residence. In 1990, the dilapidated house was acquired and restored by Monika and Horst Bülow from Stuttgart. The four-star hotel opened in 1993 with 23 rooms and five suites. The Bülow Palais is part of the Relais & Châteaux association and continues the Bülow family's hospitality tradition in Dresden, offering luxury accommodation and fine dining in the heart of the Baroque Quarter.
