History
The baroque Gewandhaus in central Dresden was built between 1768 and 1770 by Johann George Schmidt and Johann Friedrich Knöbel as a cloth-makers' hall (Tuchmacherhaus), one of the few surviving buildings from just after the Seven Years' War. Gutted in the 1945 firestorm, its facade was reconstructed in the 1960s.
The first hotel here, the state-run "Hotel am Gewandhaus," opened in January 1967. Radisson SAS took over after a 1997 renovation, and it became the Radisson Blu Gewandhaus in 2009. Closed at the end of 2014 and comprehensively renovated by STUDIO architects, it reopened on 2 April 2015 as a five-star Seaside Hotels boutique and joined Marriott's Autograph Collection on 8 July 2015, with 97 rooms.
