Renaissance Chemnitz to Dresden?
Hello,
Planning on a business trip to Dresden next month, I noticed the closest Marriott is the Renaissance Chemnitz, about 70km away.
If I stay here, would it be easier to commute by car or train to Dresden, and how long would it take for each?
Also, is the train station within walking distance of the hotel, or would I need to drive there?
I also noticed on the Marriott website a Treff hotel right in Dresden, but does this hotel earn points or status nights?
Any help appreciated.

Chemnitz is no a beautiful city. The duration after Dresden by car is one
half hour.
Book a hotel in Dresden e.g. Holdiday Inn or Hilton.

Thanks for the info. I think I'll stay in Dresden during the week and then Chemnitz on the weekend.

Some possibilities for you to consider on your weekend:
If you are in Chemnitz and rent a car, you might drive to some of the small towns in the nearby Erzgebirge mountains. They are famous for wood carvings, (" nutcrackers originated here, as well as the "smoker men" -)
Another possibility is to spend the weekend at either the Rennaisance or Marriott in Leipzig, just an hour from Dresden. The rates are very reasonable.. I myself prefer the Marriott. The old city is beautiful, there are many musical opportunities (the famous Gewandhaus orchestra, St. Thomas Boys Choir) and excellent shopping, as well as wonderful cafes and restaurants ( try to Coffeebaum, a restaurant in what was one of the first coffee houses in Europe 250 years ago).
