The Holiday Inn is closer to Terminal 2 and next to the S-Bahn Station Gateway Garden, which offers a direct connection to both Mainz and Frankfurt Downtown. None of them offer view towards tarmac, but you might ge views of planes approaching Frankfurt. If you are into planespotting, I suggest to have at least a drink at the rooftop of the B'Mine Hotel (belongs to Worldhotels).

Downtown Frankfurt has a lot of different Museum (Schirn Kunsthalle , Städel Museum, Jewish Museum). Depending on food, there are plenty of options in Sachsenhausen
I am arriving on a Sunday in mid-April, around noon-ish, on Air Dolomiti. Then I am connecting on LH the next day around 1030AM.

My original flight was Sunday, through connection - leaving Italy early AM and connecting to LH. But I found an opportunity to upgrade to First Class and experiencing the LH FCT is on my bucket list. So I am making the overnight. I plan on going to the FCT on opening the next day (530ish) to maximize my time. LOL.

Last time I was in Frankfurt was early 2000s and everything was just dead on a Sunday. Although I visited Berlin last year in August but made sure I left on a Sunday.
