‍

Platzhirsch Living (Kelsterbach)

The airport sector has a strong culinary presence — here are a few highlights:

‍

Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Center
The Sheraton offers several à la carte restaurants and a cocktail bar right at Terminal 1, ranging from international cuisine to regional specialities.

‍

‍

Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt

‍

Hyatt Place Frankfurt Airport
Hyatt Place is based on a modern concept with Zoom Restaurant and a cocktail bar — more casual but well-rated and convenient for guests in the Gateway Gardens business district.

‍

Platzhirsch Living, Kelsterbach
‍The catering concept is kept simple, but no less tasty. Especially “our own winery” Chateau Castera from Bordeaux is great here.

If the training time is based on your flight schedule:

‍

The Marriott advertises a newly renovated, modern 24-hour gym — ideal for late arrivals or very early departures.

‍

Hyatt Place uses the StayFit™ concept with a 24/7 gym — including modern cardio and weight equipment as well as free weights.

‍

Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt

‍

Moxy Frankfurt Airport

‍

For families, this includes: flexible rooms, easy accessibility, early breakfast and some “action” for the kids:

‍

Frankfurt Airport Marriott Hotel
The Marriott offers special family rooms with an additional sofa bed, as well as child-friendly buffets and a family-friendly restaurant concept. According to organizers, there is also a children's playroom and even a babysitting service (depending on the offer/organizer).

‍

‍

Steigenberger Airport Hotel
With a pool, spacious rooms and fast shuttle connections, Steigenberger is attractive for families looking for the “right hotel atmosphere” with a wellness option.

‍

Sheraton & Hilton at Terminal 1
Both are less “children's hotels” but very convenient: direct or very short routes to the terminals, soundproofed rooms, early breakfast and quick access to airport playgrounds in T1/T2.

‍

Top dog living for families
‍The top dog living is exciting for families with cars: Park, Sleep & Fly, early breakfast from 4:30 and quiet, soundproofed rooms. No children's entertainment — but no terminal stress and predictable processes before the flight. The children sleep in their own rooms in the suites, meaning peace for all parties. The cuddly toy influencer “Platzhirsch Uwe” likes to be given to little guests and delights every child's heart.

In the hotel itself Dedicated childcare is rather the exception, but:

• that Frankfurt Airport Marriott is run by organizers with “babysitting service” and “children's playroom” — important: this can vary from offer to offer, so be sure to check the current description or check the hotel directly.
• Hyatt Place Frankfurt Airport offers children's menu, game room/game room and board games for kids — good for bridging waiting times.

However, the actual “attractions” for children are directly at the airport:

• Several free indoor playgrounds and themed play areas in Terminals 1 and 2 (pirate island, space, helicopter, etc.).
• A large indoor playground in Terminal 2 Food Plaza at McDonald's (“Journey to Space”), which is considered one of the largest airport playgrounds in Europe.

For genuine childcare in the sense of “Kids Club”, the offers are rather limited — in practice, many families combine a family-friendly hotel (e.g. Hyatt Place, Marriott or Platzhirsch Living) with the free play areas in the terminal.

Business guests at FRA have a wide range of hotel lounges and work areas:

‍

Sheraton Frankfurt Airport — Sheraton Club & Business Lounge
The Sheraton Club (lobby level) is designed as a combined work and relaxation area — with quiet seating areas, snacks and drinks; in addition, there is the Link @Sheraton business lounge with workstations and business services.

‍

In addition, in the terminal, there is the Fraport Conference Center, which can be booked independently of the hotels and offers meeting rooms directly in the airport building.

‍

For guests who would rather work a bit more quietly, this is also Platzhirsch Living exciting: good WiFi, quiet rooms and the opportunity to work in a relaxed way before taking the shuttle to the terminal, e.g. in the lounge on the first floor.

Yes — in particular sheraton and Frankfurt Airport Marriott Play in a league of their own here:

‍

Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Center (T1)
The name says it all: The Sheraton operates one of the largest convention centers in the region with around 58 flexible meeting and banquet rooms for events from 2 to around 1,200 people. Everything is directly connected to Terminal 1 — ideal for international conferences.

‍

Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
The Steigenberger also has extensive conference capacities with around 40 meeting rooms and a large conference area. Not in the terminal, but very well connected by shuttle.

For smaller workshops or team meetings, the meeting areas in Hyatt Place Frankfurt Airport or in Moxy Frankfurt Airport, which are more positioned as modern business/lifestyle hotels.

There are several around FRA Pet-friendly Hoteli:

‍

• Hilton Frankfurt Airport — accepts dogs and cats (even larger ones), for a fee per stay; bowls are provided.
• Frankfurt Airport Marriott Hotel — pets are allowed for a fee, both dogs and cats.

• Hyatt Place Frankfurt Airport — Dogs are accepted; there is even a “Very Important Dog” service with a dog bed.
• Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt — is expressly listed as pet-friendly.

That too Platzhirsch Living is pet-friendly — convenient for guests who travel with dogs, want to park their car safely in the parking garage and take a shuttle to the airport. The various “go for a walk” options are particularly noteworthy here. Nature around the Kelsterbacher Weiher or rather a quick stroll through the lively Südpark.

The trend is clear in Europe non-smoking hotels, and that also applies to Frankfurt Airport. Many houses are officially completely smoke-free and offer instead designated smoking areas:

‍

• that Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel hosted with the Davidoff Lounge The only smoking bar right at the airport. It is part of the Marriott/Sheraton complex and is a stylish place for cigar lovers.
• According to recent hotel portals, “smoking rooms” are becoming increasingly rare; there is often talk of “hotels with smoking areas,” not necessarily classic smoking rooms.
• Careful: Most hotels charge high prices — an average of €150 if people smoke illegally in the room. The guest is also charged for a fire alarm triggered by smoke.
• Good to know: Even turning off the smoke detectors in a room can trigger the fire alarm.

Flexibility is standard at airports — many hotels have one 24-hour reception and offer early check-in/late check-out on request:

‍

• Frankfurt Airport Marriott Hotel — 24-hour reception, modern self-check-in experience and flexible check-in time slots; check-out usually by noon, extended subject to availability.
• Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Center — also 24/7 reception; according to Marriott information, it is possible to extend the regular check-out from 12:00 after consultation.
• Hilton Frankfurt Airport — 24-hour reception, flexible check-in times; Hilton Honors status guests often receive late check-out as a benefit.
• Hyatt Place Frankfurt Airport — 24/7 front desk; check-in officially starts in the afternoon, but early arrivals are possible depending on occupancy.

However, many chain hotels do not offer a guarantee in the event of high occupancy rates — so it's worth it in advance A quick note when booking (“very early flight, late check-out/early check-in request”).

‍

Platzhirsch Living complements this offer with very early breakfast times from 4:30 a.m. and a park sleep & fly concept that is perfect for unusual flight times — a real advantage, especially for departures at 6 o'clock in the morning.
