Following a remarkable three-year renovation, Frankfurt Airport Marriott Hotel (open since 2020) and Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Center together become the first European Marriott dual brand hotel operating two Marriott International premium brands, Marriott & Sheraton, under one roof. This development offers travelers two unique brand experiences with a focus on shared distinct culinary moments and exceptional service.
At the forefront of business travel, the hotels and conference center, which will offer guests an impressive host of shared MICE and leisure facilities, are located between the check-in counters of Frankfurt Airport Terminal 1 and the AIRrail ICE long-distance train station. A mere 20-minute journey away from Frankfurt city center, the pioneering destination is one of the largest airport hotels in Europe and will help establish Frankfurt as one of the world’s key global travel hubs for both leisure and business travelers.
Ralf Stresing, general manager, comments, “Having been part of the hotels for 9 years, I’m extremely proud and excited to have led the transformation of two of Marriott’s best-known brands, Marriott & Sheraton, in one location. We are looking forward to raising the bar at Europe’s largest airport hotel when it comes to our guest’s airport hotel experience with surprising new offerings like The Eatery kitchen and bar.”
“With travel for both corporate and leisure poised for a resurgence, this is the opportune moment to highlight the dual brand hotel to the market, and we are excited to showcase our extensive and convenient facilities, such as our studios which are part of the Sheraton brand transformation, to our guests and loyal customers from all over the world."
Since opening its doors in 1975 as Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Center, the hotel has evolved over the years and has become an integral part of Frankfurt Airport, as well as the surrounding region. Celebrating over 45 years of history and excellence in hospitality, the hotel, which opened with 555 rooms, and its 300 dedicated members of staff have provided an impeccable service and moments of comfort to its loyal guests and look ahead to a bright future with the new dual brand concept and offering.
Under the innovative new dual brand concept, the hotels have a total of 1,012 rooms and suites, over nine floors and three buildings. Each hotel has its own lobby and reception area and its own Club Lounge - The Sheraton Club and M Club, to guarantee guests the respective brand experience and personal touch. With more of a focus on the groups experience, guests will find the renovated Sheraton product now offers 3 Sheraton Club Suites, 7 Junior Suites, and a new modern Sheraton Club Lounge located on the lobby level. The former Sheraton Towers, with the upgraded rooms and lounge on the 9th floor is now part of the new fully renovated Marriott, featuring 233 renovated rooms.
Guests of both hotels can make use of the stylish, recently renovated spaces and public areas, which have been meticulously overhauled by leading international design houses.
Hamburg-based JOI Design designed the Marriott Greatroom Lobby and M Club Executive Lounge, whilst London-based B3 Designers worked on shared public areas and restaurants such as The Eatery, Restaurant Flavors, specializing in steak, with its own in-restaurant dry-ager – and The Bar and the Davidoff Lounge, which have all been completely renovated and now showcase a stylish and timeless design. The Eatery kitchen and bar, a new lobby kitchen in the heart of the hotel that connects both hotels, the airport terminal and train station, has been reimagined as a vintage-style laid-back convivial space serving up a taste of the U.S. with an East to West Coast inspired menu.
The new “Sheraton Gathering Place” has also launched and includes a reception area with several community tables and studios, inviting people to come together and connect whether travelling for business or simply meeting friends or colleagues. A fitness and wellness area are also available.
Offering an unrivalled 360° approach to MICE, the conference center offers 58 different-sized conference rooms, including the “SkyLoft” – an avant-garde meeting and event center – and the Congress Center for up to 1,200 participants.
