Frankfurt question

I'll be adding Frankfurt to a Manchester and Dubin trip later this month, does anyone know if the Frankfurt Marriott is near any of the gay scene? Is there anything going on mid-week?

Thanks.

The Frankfurt Marriott is nearest the convention center (Messe) and a couple of miles from the main gay area. I've always taken a taxi with no problems.

Suggest you secure a hotel room in Frankfurt before booking any flights. There are often large conventions (building, property, books, travel) there where all (and I mean all) the hotels get totally booked up months in advance.

fra marriott.

there's also a street car stop literally right outside the hotel.

we used priceline (name your own price) for frankfurt west region twice last year, and got the Marriott for a steal both times. ~$55 night, if i remember correctly.

have fun.

I assume you are referring to Westin Grand? If so, thats exactly where I booked the room! Anything to do specifically Tuesday through Thursday? I read the links that Jimmy67 posted, very helpful, by the way, but maybe anyone would know specifics on those three nights next week? Cheers!

There's lots of spots to go. Central and Lucky Manhattan's are 2 of my faves for a week nite. Pick the "gab" magazine and it will fill you in on all the spots and nights.

Yes, its now Westin Grand after the refurbishments.

Have to report, Lucky Manhattan's is great on Tuesdays (Flirt night)!

Any spots for happy hour? What about Sunday afternoon?
