Jumeirah Group has opened its first hotel in continental Europe, with the team at Jumeirah Frankfurt welcoming its first guests today.

With grand opening celebrations are scheduled for September, the property is soft-opening a month early to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The five-star-hotel is located in the centre of Frankfurt at the Thurn-und-Taxis square, in close vicinity to the business district, opera and shopping streets.

Spread over 25 floors and enjoying stunning views over the city, the 218 rooms and suites have a minimum size of 35m2, making them the largest rooms in Frankfurt.

Each room features an original artwork by German contemporary artist Hartwig Ebersbach.

The hotel’s signature restaurant, Max on One, is managed by executive chef Martin Steiner, previously of the Savoy Hotel in London and Hotel Adlon in Berlin.

The lobby bar stands near the chocolaterie on the ground floor which offers the finest French patisseries and specialist chocolate confections.

With its state-of-the-art equipment, Jumeirah Frankfurt brings in-room technology to the next level. Instead of the conventional air-conditioning technology, the hotel features a hybrid room tempering system using body heat detectors and motion sensors that regulate all in-room energy consumption efficiently and sustainably.

With its abundance of natural daylight, spacious meeting rooms and state of-the-art facilities, Jumeirah Frankfurt is also ideal for meeting and event organisers.

The 364m² ballroom can be divided into two smaller areas and offer stunning views of the Thurn-und-Taxis Palais.

For functions and banquets, four meeting rooms accommodating between 30 and 100 persons are available.

Guests of Jumeirah Frankfurt also have access to Jumeirah’s signature spa, Talise.

Stand-alone bathtubs, tropical rain showers and zen-inspired relaxation areas add an Asian touch to the spa.
