Germany’s glittering financial hub, Frankfurt is a fascinating fusion of old and new, with eclectic architecture — from skyscrapers to historic stately homes — and a lively cultural scene to admire. Accommodation options are wide-ranging, from low-key B&Bs to smart business hotels suited to a whole range of budgets. Whether you’re dreaming of a romantic retreat, a chic city stay or an excellent base for business, our pick of the best places to stay in Frankfurt promises the ideal spot from which to discover this impressive city.

With museums and historic buildings aplenty, Frankfurt’s city centre is best explored on foot. Stroll from the medieval edifices of Römer Square to the glass-fronted Main Tower, where a 200-metre high platform offers the perfect vantage point from which to admire glinting skyscrapers and historic church spires stretching out in all directions, with the River Main snaking between them. Culture aficionados will find themselves spoilt for choice: Frankfurt is second only to Berlin when it comes to museums. Wander from the German Film Museum to the German Architecture Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, the Jewish Museum and the Senckenberg Museum, to name but a few. The Goethe Haus and Museum — the birthplace of the famous author — is hugely popular, too.

Evenings in Frankfurt are long and lively, with stacks of terrific restaurants and bars to try, as well as thronging clubs for late-night revellers keen to dance to the latest beats. Whether you’re a night owl, an eager museum-goer or a foodie, you’ll need a special place to lay your head and unwind — and this is where Frankfurt’s vast array of stylish hotels come in. Whilst most trendy properties are in the heart of the city, some of the best places to stay in Frankfurt offer the best of both worlds: elegant luxury in the countryside, just beyond the city limits. From hip hideaways to contemporary minimalism and family-friendly hotels, Frankfurt has it all.
