The Hotel Pullmann Dresden Newa is a prefabricated hotel on St. Petersburger Strasse 34 in Dresden . Until further development on Wiener Platz, it formed the urban development end of Prager Straße , is one of the most prominent buildings in Dresden and is one of the tallest buildings in downtown Dresden.

The hotel, built from 1968 to 1970, was run as the " Interhotel Newa". The name Neva refers to the largest river in Saint Petersburg (then Leningrad), Dresden's twin city , after which the adjacent street is named. In 1992 the Accor Group leased three Interhotels in Chemnitz, Dresden and Potsdam, and since then it has been called the “ Mercure Newa Dresden”. Since 2008 it has operated under the Accors 5-star brand Pullman Hotels as the “Hotel Pullman Dresden Newa”.

description

The building was constructed from 1968 to 1970 by the architects Claus Kaiser , Manfred Arlt , Hans Fuhrmann and Jochen Weinert . The interior design was done by Hans Klötzel and Bernhard Fellmann .

The building complex consists of a high-rise and a low-rise building. The building is a 15-story hotel building, 13 of which are residential floors. It was built as a panel construction with an aluminum curtain wall and colored, enamelled sheet steel parapets. The gable surfaces were designed with plastic concrete elements by Karl-Heinz Adler and Friedrich Kracht . A concrete attica with glass mosaic was installed. The reception and catering are located in the low-rise building with an aluminum-glass facade. The building was extensively renovated in 2005 and equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows; when it reopened, the building was upgraded from a 3-star to a 4-star hotel.

Franz Tippel installed the natural stone mosaic “Newal Landscape” on the hotel. In 1979 pieces of jewelery were a mix of twenty-one Meissen porcelain paintings of buildings in St. Petersburg by Helmut Symmangk , Ludwig Zepner , Heinz Werner , and Rudi Stolle , as well as the mural “Poem on Leningrad” by Hans Kinder . The motifs on Meissen porcelain plates belong to the murals made from Meissen porcelain, showing architectural monuments of the "Venice of the North" such as the summer and winter palace, hermitage, Peter and Paul fortress, the Resurrection Church with its onion domes and St. Isaac's Cathedral.
