The Rheinhotel Dreesen was founded in 1894 and is the traditional hotel in Bonn (Bad Godesberg).
The hotel, run by the fourth generation, is also known in the region as “The White House on the Rhine”. This is certainly due to the fact that in the more than 100 years of its existence, not only crowned heads of various states, German Federal Presidents, most of the Chancellors of the Federal Republic of Germany, state presidents, statesmen and politicians from all over the world and world-famous artists chose the Dreesen as their domicile.
In September 1938, Neville Chamberlaine and Adolf Hitler negotiated the preliminary stages of the Munich Agreement to avert the Sudeten crisis. In 1945, the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces and later US President Dwigt D. Eisenhower stopped at the Dreesen. The French High Commission was housed in the hotel for three years. Hotel operations resumed in 1952.
