In the new Gateway Gardens quarter beside Frankfurt Airport, the b'mine Frankfurt Airport, WorldHotels Crafted, Frankfurt, Germany, is a bold, design-led hotel built around a few playful ideas, with cocooning, softly lit rooms, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV and air conditioning. Its best-known feature is the CarLift, that carries cars up the building and beside your room. Up on the roof, a bar offers unmatched views over the airport and the Frankfurt skyline.
Flexible spaces suit meetings, events and easy networking between flights, and the quarter's own station puts the airport terminals and central Frankfurt only minutes away. Trains and motorways fan out across the Rhine-Main region from the doorstep.
Frankfurt itself is Germany's skyline city on the River Main, where glass banking towers rise above a rebuilt old town. The half-timbered Romer square marks the historic centre, a riverbank lined with fine museums faces the apple-wine taverns of Sachsenhausen, and parks and the wooded city forest spread green to the south. Pleasure boats cruise the Main beneath the towers on warm evenings.
