Stay here: JW Marriott Frankfurt review

What’s the deal

As you stroll through downtown Frankfurt, the towering JW Marriott Hotel Frankfurt rises like a lighthouse above shopping malls and market halls. Opened in 2022, it became the luxury brand’s first property in Germany with all the meticulous renovations and furnishings that go with it. It’s easy to forget that you’re in the thick of it all here, with luxurious (and pet-friendly) rooms offering an oasis of calm amid the bustle.

Why stay?

If you request a room on the hotel’s upper floors, you’ll be rewarded with the best views of Frankfurt city centre , with a prime lookout over the historical Dom-Römer-Quartier and skyscrapers nearby.  

The Zeil, Frankfurt’s biggest shopping street, is right on your doorstep as you emerge from the hotel, though with these minimal yet elegant rooms, you might never want to leave. Whether you’re rushing off for a business meeting or sightseeing, enormous king beds and a hearty breakfast buffet ensure you’re recharged and ready for the day ahead.

Cathay editors say...

"If you’re a serious swimmer, head to the lap pool to get your front crawl in first thing in the morning. Afterwards, nip over to the nearby sauna and steam rooms to soothe your tired muscles and aid your recovery."
