🐕Why Dresden is Great for Hotels with Pet Friendly
All sixteen hotels on this page accept pets, so the choice depends on how you want to travel. Aparthotels such as Aparthotel Neumarkt or Aparthotel Am Schloss give a kitchen and space in the Old Town; Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski and Relais & Châteaux Bülow Palais add kids' clubs and spas; and hotels such as ARCOTEL HafenCity Dresden or La Campagnola offer gardens and easier access to the Elbe meadows for walks. Check each hotel's conditions for animals when booking.
Families travelling with a dog often need a kitchen and a washing machine as much as a bed, and Dresden's Old Town has several aparthotels that accept pets. Aparthotel Neumarkt, directly opposite the Frauenkirche, has apartments with a living area, a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine, plus family suites. Aparthotel Am Schloss, rated 9.2 over 3,772 reviews, has a roof terrace looking over the Kreuzkirche, and Aparthotel Altes Dresden adds kitchenettes and washing machines in a central location. Hapimag Ferienwohnungen Dresden, two minutes on foot from the Frauenkirche, has full kitchens and a game room.
For a grander stay, three five-star hotels combine a pet-friendly policy with services for children. Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski, next to Dresden Castle and renovated in 2024, has a swimming pool, a kids' club and a spa, with a 9.4 score. Relais & Châteaux Bülow Palais, in the Baroque quarter, offers a 400 m² day spa, a kids' club, family suites and bike rental. HYPERION Hotel Dresden Am Schloss, also beside the castle, is the most reviewed hotel on this page with 6,250 reviews, and Townhouse Dresden sits next to the Frauenkirche with 19th-century-style rooms and suites.
Several four-star hotels balance comfort and space. ARCOTEL HafenCity Dresden has family suites, a garden, a sun terrace, spa facilities and bike rental, with an 8.9 score over more than 5,000 reviews. Hotel Indigo Dresden - Wettiner Platz, rated 9.0, sits between the Kraftwerk Mitte cultural area and the Baroque centre, with a fitness room and a 24-hour reception for late arrivals. Weltemühle Hotel by Miri's Dresden has a garden, spa facilities and a sun terrace, and Hotel am Schwanenhaus adds bike rental and a minimarket, useful for picking up supplies for a dog without leaving the hotel area.
Dresden suits dogs well thanks to the Elbe meadows, the wide green riverbanks that run through the city, and the Großer Garten park east of the centre. La Campagnola, a boutique hotel with an Italian restaurant and views over the Elbe, sits in a quiet setting with balconies over the garden or city. Romantik Landhaus offers units with kitchenettes and sofa beds, a sun terrace and an on-site restaurant, Hofgärtnerhaus combines a historic building with a garden and rated 9.0, and Elbhotel Dresden by AURUM is the simpler three-star option with family rooms and bike rental.
Parent's take
Travelling with a dog and children, I would book Aparthotel Neumarkt: the apartments have a full kitchen and a washing machine, and the Frauenkirche is just across the square. For a more pampered stay, I recommend Hotel Taschenbergpalais Kempinski, which accepts pets and adds a pool and a kids' club next to Dresden Castle. Whichever hotel you choose, I would plan the daily walks along the Elbe meadows, which run close to the Old Town.
