“Among Hotel Gerbermühle’s selling points is its fine dining restaurant (mains from €19.50) that combines local food (beef tartare, wiener schnitzel with cranberries) with international classics (chicken in calvados sauce). It is on the river and has great views of the city skyline.”
“The neo-Gothic facade of this former family mansion (built in 1904) belies an edgy interior that mixes minimalist furnishings and intriguing modern art. Guests gather in the back courtyard for drinks, chats and sunshine.”
“With its glass tower and shiny saddleback roof, the 28-story Jumeirah holds its own among the architectural icons of downtown. Overlooking the Zeil pedestrian precinct and a seven-minute walk from Goethstrasse, the Jumeirah boasts a best of Frankfurt location for a shopping expedition.”
“The Libertine Lindenberg in the city’s unrushed Alt-Sachsenhausen district is a new, well-priced all-suite hotel that feels genuinely different. It does away with the traditional reception desk – who needs ’em? – and focuses on home-from-home design, hand-made furnishings and a communal living room-cum-cafe. There’s even an in-house recording studio.”
Featured in The Guardian’s 20 great hotels to stay in Germany in 2016.
”This branch of the boutique chain is known as “Levi’s Hotel” in honour of its next-door neighbour – the German HQ of Levi Strauss – and comes with an assortment of rooms in different shades of blue.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Frankfurt.
”A favourite in the Sachsenhausen district south of the Main, this is a mock Tudor-style mansion stuffed with family portraits and kitsch colonial trinkets.”

“Right next to the river lies Hotel Nizza, built in 1993 for hosting actors and artists performing in the city. The style is somewhere between minimalist and eccentric, with some great antique furniture details, a pool and billiard room and a roof garden to relax.”
“The Pure is, as the name suggests, a minimalist design hotel not far from the Bahnhofsviertel, the train station quarter with its sometimes seedy, sometimes chic bars and nightclubs.”
“Located in Frankfurt’s Bockenheim district, the Robert Mayer blends Bohemian vibes and modern technology in a small, comfortable hotel that’s Frankfurt’s best value. Local artists were commissioned to design each of the 12 guest rooms inside this early 20th-century townhouse.”
“Offering a winning combination of tranquillity, modern German design and small-hotel comforts, this century-old, tangerine-coloured villa has 38 spacious rooms, some with free-standing baths and four-poster beds.”
