Arrival Lounge In FRA?
i will be arriving in FRA on a First Class ticket in mid-morning from DXB and my hotel checkin is mid-afternoon. Does EK have an arrivals lounge or could I make my way to the EK departure lounge for some rest and a shower (another 
) to kill a few hours before heading into town?

Bummer...maybe just hang out in my airline suite and spa for a few hours then...let me check on the turn-around time for this fight 
Other than the transit hotel, I guess maybe just flop in an airport lounger for a few hours and hit a cafe before heading into town.

Even if your room isn't ready, perhaps your hotel would store your things and let you use a shower so you can go out for breakfast somewhere in FRA?

Yes I suppose that's an option, however, I doubt I'll be very hungry after having just arrived from the First Class lounge in DXB and had the food service on the flight. I actually think I may be able to access the EK departure lounge in Frankfurt upon arrival. I know this is allowed at other lounges for premium passengers who arrive before a certain time (12:00 in most cases I believe).

Where are you staying? I can give you some hints, as I used to work there.

I really think OP is over planing this.
Upon landing, give the hotel a call, suggest your FIRST class flight arrived early, and if you get to checkin a bit earlier as your PERSONAL chauffeur will be dropping you soon into their property. Don't forget to mention how important you are
If you reach the hotel after 11am, and had a nice call to them beforehand, there is a good chance your room is ready. Otherwise, leaving your luggage and burning some of those FIRST class calories won't hurt

Wow that is small...I'm there 3 days, do I even need a local transit (uBahn) pass? I'm staying at the Citadines City Centre (near the Skyline Plaza Shopping Centre) for 2 nites before moving on to MUC.

But good enough...I'll notify them by email of my flight arrival time and just play it by ear when I arrive. At worst, there is a Starbucks (a Chipotle too) at the Skyline Plaza mall close by according to Google Maps
