Planning a layover in Frankfurt to visit Germany’s famous Christmas markets? A peaceful and convenient option is the Steigenberger Airport Hotel, a five-minute complimentary shuttle ride from the airport. The hotel sits adjacent to the city forest, offering numerous well-maintained walking and jogging trails beneath mature trees and even organized runs led by a local running expert. After outdoor exercise, guests can relax on the hotel’s ninth-floor thermal spa, which includes an indoor pool, sauna cabins and steam baths to ease travel fatigue. A full menu of spa treatments is available, and the Open Sky fitness center provides panoramic airport views to keep workouts interesting. Soundproof windows throughout the property ensure restful sleep despite the nearby air traffic.
Wi-Fi is complimentary across the hotel, and flexible meeting rooms are available for single meetings or multi-day events. Dining options range from contemporary cuisine at Faces in the main building to an impressive breakfast buffet at Five Continents. For regional specialties in a traditional atmosphere, Unterschweinstiege—an attractive historical building on the hotel grounds—serves local dishes in a cozy setting.
Guest rooms and suites have been recently updated with a calm forest-inspired décor that blends greens and browns and includes mural accents behind the beds. Family rooms accommodate up to four guests with a Murphy bed and a convertible sofa. Guests who choose the Executive Tower benefit from early check-in, late check-out and views over the city forest. Business Rooms are thoughtfully outfitted with stone-floored wellness showers with slate walls, separate sitting areas, a pull-out service center with an electric kettle and Nespresso machine, and generous storage solutions—including a bench designed to hold luggage—so you can stay organized during short or extended stays.
