I booked the Dorint Kongresshotel, from which you have direct access to the Stadthalle. And since the weather was quite uncomfortable, we decided to eat Panorama in front of the event at the hotel's restaurant and reserved two windows when checking in. When we entered the restaurant in the early evening, we saw that a reservation would not have been necessary, because we were first the only guests. We were welcomed by the serviceman very friendly and accompanied to our window table. She immediately fired the candle and handed us the menu that had been opened. We first ordered our drinks, two alcohol-free yeast wheat. “With us, you get only the best of regional and fresh ingredients.”, it says on the homepage. The clear map with two soups, two salads, seven main dishes, three smaller dishes and three desserts also suggests this. When the two wheat were well tapped and were on the table, we had already decided. I had discovered on the map “Steak Au Four (14,50 € , pork steak sausage meat cheese Pommes Frites” for 14,50 €, and since I had never eaten this East German specialty from GDR times, I also told the service lady and asked for more information. “This is a kind of ragout fin, but with turkey meat and mushrooms, and then baked with cheese.” Sounded good, was ordered. My husband opted for the “Erzgebirgischer Art” (€16.80 apple red cabbage potato dumplings). This hotel has been part of the Dorint Group since 1 January 2018. Here, the restaurant was renovated and repaired. The design of the premises and the ambience as a whole are certainly a matter of taste. Lots of reddish brown wood, room divider, continuous padded benches on the walls, chairs with low all-round backrests, fabric blankets on the tables, all very nice but nothing special. Especially “fallen” have the loveless plastic strings on the tables and in the low room dividers. From our window table we had a good view, of course, but Chemnitz has not so much to offer from this height of beautiful views, especially not the next morning at breakfast with cloudy sky and light rain. The city looks particularly bleak! A greeting from the kitchen reached us quickly. For each two slightly warm baguette slices and a peel with a spiced quart yogurt dip, quite okay, but nothing special. My “Steak Au Four” court looked pretty sweet. Lots of turkey meat, in the middle with relatively thick cheese layer, plentiful fries and a small salad decoration on a chicory leaf. First, I tried the sausage meat that was absolutely wrong with the name of sausage meat, because it tasted after... nothing, not even after Pute. Well, that's for me anyway. Of the champignons announced there was nothing to see yet, and that was so. In the meantime, the service lady put something on the table without words, but I did not exactly register because I was too busy with my taste experience sausage meat. Next step “sweet” meat with cheese, also little successful, because even the cheese was little spicy and pulled and pulled. So all pushed from the flesh to the side and looking for the **** steak. Yes, there was still a small piece of meat under the thick sausage meat layer, which was not quite dry and therefore quite edible. The best were the fries as they should be. Satt of the little steak and the plentiful portion of fries I have become quite. ; The plate with the Roulade looked more appealing. The two pineapple discs on the red cabbage (as decoration on red cabbage never seen and the rather small roach with the two thick lobes next. The Roulade classically filled, appropriately seasoned, but nothing to get satt. For that, it was probably more likely that the pals that were probably not home-made, even the dark sauce could have been a splashed ready-made sauce. The red cabbage was neat, also acceptable from consistency. My husband wasn't so happy overall. The service lady came back to our table to clean up, looked at my plate and asked for our satisfaction. I told her why I couldn't eat the little spicy sausage meat. She pointed to the bottle of Worcester sauce, which she had put on the table unnoticed by me and without explanation, and on the lemon wand on my plate, and said that I could have strangled. She knew that today was my first sausage meat attempt, maybe my last one. Competent service? At the beginning rather yes, to the end clearly no! Conclusion: The hotel is highly recommended with its good breakfast, rather not the restaurant.

Between these decades there are worlds. The outer impressions are still similar. It offers a more pleasant accommodation today. The centre of Chemnitz, which is still called Karl Marx City during the first visit, is within walking distance and offers a number of sights and shopping opportunities. From the window from there on, as today, the “Nish” of the Volksmunds for the Karl Marx Monument.

A great advantage that it is located directly in the city centre and many shopping facilities as well as sights and museums are within walking distance. This also saves driving costs to explore the city.

With its 29 floors distributed over just over 100 meters above sea level, it is not the highest building here, the fireplace of the north heating power plant still offers 200 meters more, but the highest inhabited building in the city. Opened in 1974 as a new building inside the complex, there is still the town hall with large and small hall and some gastronomic facilities. In contrast to the trend, however, the gastronomy was not increased, but above all the gastronomy was rebuilt in many parts. There is only the restaurant on the top floor in the hotel, at the moment this is unfortunately only open for breakfast guests from the outside. My last night is probably back in the 30 years, so I can't say anything about today's comfort. But a training led me to the meeting rooms on the 2nd floor. You can see the premises for many years, but everything works well maintained and well kept in the fire. The conference technology stands at the stand of time and everything worked excellently. Chairs comfortable, air-conditioned room, modern conference technology. The break snack was set up in the foyer, small snacks, cakes, coffee and soft drinks. Friendly staff was helpful. Standing snacks in the best sense, was long enough served during the educational event. The hotel is therefore very well suited for meetings or similar events. For tourists, of course, only those must go for gastronomic experiences. Ringsum is home to some very good restaurants because the immediate city center is at the feet of the high-rise building. The parking situation in the city center is not quite easy, there are parking garages nearby, but they are fully occupied for high transporters with whom I was not suitable this day, the parking lot of the hotel in front of the entrance was fully occupied. It would therefore only be desirable to search for a circle which, however, is complicated by parking time limitation to 2 or 3 hours and is limited in time. A ten-minute walk finally brought me from the approximately distant but free parking at the edge of the street to the hotel. Update: Since January 2018, the hotel has a new tenant and a new name. Mercure becomes Dorint. The well-known hotel group has taken over the hotel business, soon begins a renovation work planned during operation. The restaurant on the top floor, formerly known as Jalta Bar, is to be reopened for public full-day operation.
