Frankfurt's grand hotel since 1876, on Kaiserplatz in the heart of the city center. The 303-room property is the flagship of the Steigenberger group, with a French fine-dining restaurant and a marble-columned lobby that has hosted state visits for well over a century.
Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof stands on Kaiserplatz in the Innenstadt, Frankfurt's central business and shopping district, within walking distance of the Alte Oper, the Zeil shopping street, and the trade-fair grounds, with the Hauptbahnhof about ten minutes away by taxi. Open since 1876, the hotel is the flagship of the Steigenberger group and one of Frankfurt's original grand hotels, its marble-columned lobby having hosted state visits and receptions for well over a century. The 303 rooms range from classic rooms through executive rooms, junior suites, and a presidential suite, with upper floors overlooking Kaiserplatz offering a quieter stay away from ground-floor lobby traffic. A French fine-dining restaurant is the hotel's culinary centerpiece, joined by a bar and a breakfast service that draws on the property's long banqueting tradition. A spa and fitness center serve guests looking to unwind after a day of meetings or sightseeing, though the hotel does not have a large pool. Service is oriented toward both business and diplomatic travelers, with a business center, meeting rooms, valet parking, and a concierge desk experienced in arranging restaurant reservations, opera tickets, and transport for the trade fairs that regularly bring international visitors to Frankfurt. The address on Kaiserplatz places the hotel within easy reach of the city's banking towers, making it a longstanding choice for corporate travel, while its historic public rooms and central location also draw leisure visitors wanting a base near the old town and the Museumsufer.
