Frommer's Review
This is one of the largest hotels in Germany, with a layout that almost defines it as a small town within a city. Set behind a curved, mostly glass eight-story facade, it's the only hotel in Frankfurt with direct access, via a covered walkway, to the trade fairgrounds. As such, its goal involves servicing the needs of the exhibitors, salespersons, and buyers who pour in and out of its low-ceilinged, marble-sheathed lobby. Expect well-orchestrated, but somewhat anonymous, comforts at this Bauhaus-industrial behemoth, and a location that requires a bit of a hike, or a taxi ride, to more scenic and historic neighborhoods of Frankfurt. Bedrooms may be neutral in their cultural references, but they are very comfortable (writing desks are big if you need to set up a small office) and are more stylish than those at the Marriott across the street. Bathrooms are well equipped, containing deluxe toiletries and tub/shower combos. This is commercialized Germany at its most unapologetic, but considering the many facilities at your fingertips, plus the convenience to the fairgrounds, a stay here can be worth it.
