I will be traveling ATL-FRA-MUC-TBS 27 December with a 12 hour layover in FRA. I presently have a day room booked at the FRA Hilton but looking at the Sherpa app I'm questioning whether I can use the room or will I have to stay in the "international zone" EG one of the lounges.

The Sherpa app states "Travelers are allowed to transit through Germany to a non-Schengen area country as long as they stay in the international zone of the airport and have the necessary documentation for their final destination."

So, will I be able to exit the airport and go to the Hilton, or not.

Thanks for any insight.

With the usual caveat - rules ars still very much subject to change, particularly given escalating case numbers in Germany - I don't see any Covid-related reason why you wouldn't be able to do this.

From memory, the rule you quote relates to transiting Germany from a high-risk or virus variant area without vaccination. If you're fully vaccinated it should be fine:
