I'd like to second the suggestion of Dresden and the Martha Hospiz Hotel. We were there in 2002 on Pierrette's recommendation, and enjoyed our stay immensely. You can read about Dresden, Bautzen and Gorlitz in a travelogue on our web site: http://www.thetravelzine.com/40-40-dresden.htm We also wrote about Berlin and other cities in Germany.
