The Westin Grand Frankfurt is a big, reliable, full-service hotel in the heart of the Innenstadt, and it is a strong pick if you want the old centre on your doorstep without paying villa prices. It stands at Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse 7 with 372 rooms, air-conditioning throughout and a lobby that handles large numbers of guests smoothly, which is exactly what you want in a city that hosts trade fairs and conferences all year. The wellness side is generous for a city-centre hotel: there is an indoor pool, a sauna and a steam room, plus a gym, and after a day on cobbled streets or in a draughty exhibition hall they are a real comfort, especially in winter. Food and drink are well covered on site, with three restaurants serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, a cafe and a bar, so you can eat well without stepping outside on a cold evening, although the streets nearby offer plenty of choice when you do want to wander. Wi-Fi is free in the public areas, and the hotel also offers luggage storage, laundry and dry cleaning, a porter service and help with tours and tickets, which makes the first and last hours of a trip easier.
Location and getting around
The position is the main reason to choose it. Konstablerwache station is about two minutes on foot, so the underground and the S-Bahn are practically at the door, and the airport is roughly a twenty minute drive or a straightforward train ride. The MyZeil shopping centre and the Zeil are about five minutes away, the Eschenheimer Tower about six, the Hauptwache about eight and the Römerberg about nine, so the New Old Town, the cathedral and the Kleinmarkthalle are all an easy stroll.
The Alte Oper is a little further, around fourteen minutes on foot. In Advent the Christmas market is a short walk or a quick ride, which makes this a handy base for a winter break.
The rooms and what to expect
This is a large hotel, so expect a business-like, polished feel rather than a boutique one. Rooms are air-conditioned, which is a real advantage in a hot Frankfurt summer, and the quieter ones away from the street are worth asking for when you check in. A buffet breakfast is available for a surcharge, so compare it with the bakeries and cafes nearby and decide what suits you.
There is an electric car charging point, and self parking is offered for a daily fee with limited spaces, which is worth knowing in a centre where driving is slow. Pets are accepted under certain conditions and for a nightly fee, so check the current terms when you book.
Who it suits and what to know: the Westin Grand suits couples who want a comfortable pool-and-spa hotel in the centre, business travellers, and families who value a large lobby, plenty of restaurants and easy transport. It is less intimate than the smaller hotels in Sachsenhausen, and the busy Konstablerwache area is livelier by day than by night, so it is better as a practical base than as a place to linger in the evening. Rates move a great deal with the trade fair calendar and with Advent weekends, so check dates when you book, and look at midweek and weekend prices separately because the pattern is often reversed from what leisure travellers expect.
