It’s not that it isn’t a good city, it’s just that there are SO many other amazing, charming, and much more beautiful places in Germany to visit (in my humble opinion) However, I’ve had to stay in Frankfurt multiple times for various reasons ranging from just exploring and visiting the city to, more commonly, needing Frankfurt hotels near the airport for an ungodly early flight the next morning. Whatever the reason for your stay in the city, from Frankfurt Boutique Hotels, to hotels to Frankfurt hotels near the train station or airport, I’ll cover a wide range of budgets as well as locations and options for you to pick the best accommodation for your visit. best hotel frankfurt

Frankfurt Airport Hotel Hilton

  While they come with a decent price tag, I LOVE staying at the Hiltons at airports (the one at the Munich Airport is equally as fantastic!) There have been many flights that have simply just left too early for us to get to the airport on time from our current location, so spending the night basically AT the airport couldn’t be any easier. PLUS, at the Hotel Hilton, there is even a wonderful spa included to help relax you before your big flights. There are actually TWO Frankfurt Airport Hotel Hiltons! (Hilton Frankfurt Airport and Hilton Garden Inn). They are both located in the futuristic building called, “The Squaire” which is located directly opposite of the airport. The Squaire is connected to Frankfurt Airport via a pedestrian bridge, making it incredibly fast and easy to just scoot on over before your flight. The hotel provides A/C, a 24 hour front desk, a fitness center, WiFi and coffee & tea facilities.
