Hotel Ibis, Dresden, Budget hotel in Innere Altstadt, Germany

The Hotel Ibis Dresden Zentrum comprises the two twelve-storey towers Bastei and Königstein on the west side of Prager Strasse, joined by two-storey flat buildings with shops. The complex, built 1968–69 by architects Kurt Haller, Manfred Arlt and Karl-Heinz Schulze, has 918 rooms in total and is Germany's fifth-largest hotel complex. The cubic bedroom floors define the appearance; the towers are named after the Elbe Sandstone Mountains rocks Bastei and Königstein.

The building stands on Prager Strasse, which was completely rebuilt after the 1945 bombing. The street became the city's main shopping avenue during the post-war reconstruction process.

The three towers are named after Elbe Sandstone Mountains rocks: Lilienstein, Königstein and Bastei. Under the GDR Interhotel chain, Königstein and Lilienstein housed mainly foreign guests, while Bastei served as a holiday base for trade-union members; a night cost about 80 marks.

The hotel maintains a 24-hour front desk and sits within walking distance of Dresden Central Station, located roughly 500 meters away. The central location provides easy access to public transportation and the shopping district.

The Bastei opened on 30 May 1969, twenty days ahead of schedule, so its first guests were delegates to an SED district conference. Its breakfast was served in the room via a hatch from the corridor: the tray stood in the wardrobe, placed there by staff from outside.
