The Westin Grand Frankfurt is a 371-room upscale hotel that's grand and imposing both inside and out. There are tons of amenities, including three restaurants and three bars, an indoor pool and spa facilities, a 24-hour fitness center, and a 24-hour business center with 13 meeting rooms. The rooms are pleasant and fairly well-kept, but the decor is a bit boring and there are signs of wear and tear. The jewel in this hotel's crown is its location, very close to the Zeil shopping street and an underground station, and a short walk to some of the city's major sights.
Scene
Grand building but cozy feel that attracts business and leisure travelers alike
Housed in a huge, imposing building with flags hanging outside, the Westin Grand Frankfurt has a grand presence. A revolving door leads into the cavernous lobby with its polished tile floor and comfortable seating, including a daybed. Amongst the neutral furnishings and soft lighting, which changes subtly, are a couple of classic cars and a grand piano on display. The clientele is a mix of business and leisure travelers, and the atmosphere reflects that, feeling at once professional and laid back. Overall, the hotel manages to retain a cozy and comfortable feel, which is no small feat given the property's size.
Location
Downtown location, close to sights and shopping
The Westin is centrally located, in an area filled with shops, cafes, and restaurants. It's a couple of minutes' walk to the famous Zeil shopping street and three blocks from an underground station. In 10 minutes, it's possible to walk to Frankfurt Cathedral or the Romer, Frankfurt's famous medieval city hall. The airport is about 20-minutes away by car or public transport.
Rooms
Stylish but bland decor, flat-screen TVs, and comfy beds
Pale walls and carpets are given a splash of color with accent walls and striped curtains in the Westin Grand Frankfurt's 371 rooms. Dark-wood furniture and modern art prints complete the contemporary, but slightly bland, look. Black and off-white marble bathrooms have rainfall showerheads and separate handheld showers and come with fluffy robes. All rooms offer coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and free water and newspapers. The beds are reportedly comfortable with soft white linens. On the downside, there's a hefty fee for using the Wi-Fi, and some of the furniture in the rooms is showing wear and tear.
