Relais & Châteaux Hotel Bülow Palais

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a truly wonderful stay at the Relais & Châteaux Hotel Bülow Palais. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The suite was beautiful, with elegant furnishings and a carpet that was clearly well maintained—nothing felt worn or outdated, which made the space all the more comfortable and inviting. While the hotel itself is gorgeous, what made our stay unforgettable was the staff. They were absolutely top-notch—friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely warm. They remembered us during our stay and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality really set this hotel apart and made us feel at home. The location is also ideal—just a short walk to many of Dresden’s main attractions, yet tucked away on a quiet street in a charming neighborhood, which made it the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. We also enjoyed dinner at the on-site restaurant, which was fantastic and an experience we would highly recommend. Although we didn’t get a chance to visit the spa or try the breakfast buffet this time, we look forward to both on our next visit. This is without a doubt a 5-star hotel in every sense. We cannot recommend it enough and will certainly be back!

Wonderful Stay at Hotel Bülow Palais We stayed a few nights at Hotel Bülow Palais and had a very pleasant experience overall. While the building has a classic, historic exterior, the interior is beautifully maintained and feels recently refreshed. Breakfast offered a variety of healthy choices and was complemented by friendly and attentive service. The bar was also a nice spot to relax, again with excellent service. One of the highlights was the spacious sauna and wellness area – very clean, well-maintained, and perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly return. Highly recommended!

This hotel deserves a 5 star rating just on the basis of excellent customer service. It is located 10 mins walk away from the center of Dresden, but the area around it is also pretty great. They have underground parking. The rooms are finished in an older style, but everything is super clean. The only con is if you open the windows, it gets kind of noisy at night with vehicle noise. The customer service aspect is incredible. They provided a turn down service, the person who did that went the extra mile and placed my luggage on the luggage stand, put a nice towel on the washroom floor. When checking out, the person offered me a bottle of water for the road. Small touches like these are absolutely incredible. They also had a pair of slippers, along with individual bottles for lotion, shampoo and body wash (such a rarity and breadth of fresh air when every other hotel puts gross reusable ones in the washrooms).

A wonderful hotel with the friendliest staff I've ever seen in Germany as well as luxurious conditions. We had 5 people across 3 rooms and everyone was impressed. If I had one complaint (a minor one) it's that the young lady taking breakfast orders didn't seem to understand us very well and didn't always bring what we asked for, but it was close enough. Everything else was superb. Highly recommend.

This review is long overdue, but I am only now catching up on my reviews after months of travelling since February. This has to be one of my top five favorite hotel stays ever. When an establishment is great it delivers without pretentiousness. Everything hit the mark here, and without a big announcement. This is a stay for still elegance. I am in my late thirties and found the crowd to be more mature. No one is shouting anything. It was a nice five days of enjoying life in Dresden. The Room: I had a deluxe room. The bathtub was perfect, and I loved that they had Molton Brown soaps and bath salts. Also a proper hairdryer. The room overall was spacious, and relaxing with a decent minibar and thoughtful furnishings. Everything was the extra mile and noted. The Location: Just a short walk to Old Town, but you're right there. It was a great way to be centrally located whilst experiencing a calm only a few extra minutes tucked away can provide. The Food: The main restaurant provided an exceptional dining experience. I had the onglet (I still remember even now despite it being 7 months ago), the oysters, and a regional wine that I wasn't expecting to like but did. The bar made one of the best negronis I have ever had. On the weekends they had a pianist, and I am always a sucker for a piano bar. The atmosphere is relaxing, classy, yet chill. I only had the breakfast one day out of my stay, but the head chef who runs the operation makes it her world for those few hours. It was a wonderful experience eating and drinking there over five days. All the staff involved were lovely. With every glowing five star review, I want to offer some constructive feedback as someone who travels all over the globe. So two points: 1. The bed labelled as a king or queen bed was a conjoined bed that didn't remain conjoined at all. I would fall through the middle if I rolled over. If I come with my partner next time, this would be an issue; but honestly a solo traveller shouldn't have to deal with this either. For a hotel that has all their boxes checked, this was one miss. The bed shouldn't float apart. 2. The gym is really nonexistent. The machines barely worked, are old, and it feels like it's in a cluttered room as an afterthought. My suggestion would be to just admit defeat unless you are going to expand the area and / or upgrade the equipment. Get rid of the machines in this space and have a small stretch, yoga, meditation type area. This would compliment the spa area more than what is there now and make more sense to the image. I wasn't in Dresden for the gym so I didn't care much, but it's just an observation. Regardless of the two points above, I cannot imagine giving the rating of my experience of this hotel anything but a 5/5. I look forward to returning in a few months. The food, room, and atmosphere really made it a top experience in my travel history.

Had a fantastic stay in the Hotel Bulow May 2025. Location is ideal, near train station and a few minutes walk from centre. The staff are super professional and super friendly. Rooms lovely and comfortable. We had some fabulous meals, the food is of a very high quality. We thought the breakfast was the best we had seen in any hotel, anywhere. A really special place.

Excellent in every way. Unbelievable breakfast buffet. Great value. Rate is less than ordinary hotel in New York.No extra charge for the luxurious spa. Hotel restaurant awarded a Michelin star

From check in to check out everything was perfect. The hotel is located a very short distance from the Altstadt with the Semper Oper (our primary reason for visiting Dresden) only 15 minutes walk away.||Staff were genuinely welcoming (and spoke English as soon as they realised we weren't German). Our room was spacious and very clean - with complementary fresh fruit a nice touch. The large bathroom offered both shower and bath all with high quality toiletries.||Breakfast was a good buffet with eggs cooked to order. Dinner on our final evening in the restaurant Carrousel Nouvelle was memorable - food, wine and service excellent.||Warmly recommended - we hope to return.

I spent one night at Relais & Châteaux Hotel Bülow Palais and now wish my trip to Dresden was longer. This is one of the best hotels in which I've stayed in nearly four decades of international travel. The lobby and rooms are beautiful and unbelievably clean. The neighborhood is very charming and quiet. And I don't think I've encountered a more professional or more friendly hotel staff. Every hotel employee with whom I interacted was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind. I cannot wait to return to Dresden, in large part so I can stay at this amazing hotel!

Very nice hotel. Near shops and restaurants. Good breakfast. Had a minor problem with bathtub drain plug but staff fixed it right away.

Hotel Bülow Palais was the perfect location for our getaway to Dresden. Over the top fancy - we were provided a welcome glass of champagne and directed to their plush bar Rooms were extremely spacious - beds super comfortable; rooms were quiet Free wifi Molten brown bath products and the shower had terrific water pressure Short walk found us in the students' area with all the cool & laid-back restaurants; in the other direction we found the shopping district with a Family Fest going on with lots of street vendors offering all kinds of local German treats and across the bridge you can find the tourists' hot spot with the museums and opera house and spectacular views of the river We would stay here again in a heartbeat! And you can prepay your daily parking - hit the parking meter before you turn in for the night & only costs €6 for the whole next day!

What a fabulous stay at Buelow Palais! The staff was wonderful and the room was spacious and comfortable. I especially loved the restaurant. You simply cannot go wrong. It is a short distance from where you want to be - be it in the old city or new. All in all, I am convinced I will be back!

Stayed here for a night while visiting relatives. Very nice, comfortable room, great breakfast, including gluten free bread on request. Good free internet connection. Located in the heart of new part of Dresden, minutes from the neustadt train station, and a short walk across the bridge to the old part of town.
