The Luxury Hotel Guide 
A list by Tomas Mazowski.
This guide was last updated in December 2022. Hey! When I travel I love to stay at luxurious hotels - especially the kind of places that offer over the top extras and really spoil their guests with great service, nice spas, awesome restaurants and beautiful views. What more can you want? To save some time, I've put together this list of my favourite 5-star hotels and resorts in Saxony. I hope you will like it!

1 Lumière Boutiquehotel im Fürstenhof Leipzig Leipzig, Germany
See available rooms
Hotel.
The Fürstenhof looks back on an extraordinary, traditional history. Built in the style of a classicist city palace, it was used as a home for the Löhr banking family when it was built in 1770.
The Serpentine Hall, which is unique in the world and was still privately owned, was built in 1865. Serpentine is a metamorphic natural stone of igneous origin and around two million years old.
The Fürstenhof has been operated as a hotel since 1890 and has developed into one of the world's most beautiful premium hotels.
The Art Nouveau facade was restored in 2022. Based on the traditional history, a high-quality, family-run boutique hotel with over 100 rooms and suites, a restaurant, and a breakfast area was built in 2024.
The exceptional location in the city center and the hotel's own underground car park with access to the hotel make the house your ideal starting point.
