I noticed this in the HGI FRA (adjacent to the Hilton) restaurant downstairs when having breakfast - was calming.
Hilton doesn't seem to upgrade Diamonds to suites any longer it appears. (As compared to 3 years ago...)

Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport
Index to Genius1 Trip Reports
I stayed for one night in July at the Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport, and since I took a few photos I thought I'd post them here (if not write a full review). The property is in a 'just OK' location, quite some walk from the main T1 building, above the Frankfurt Airport Train Station and in the same building as the 'main' Hilton Frankfurt Airport. I was expecting the walk to be shorter, and the signage to be better.
The property is in decent shape for one 11 years old and is decorated in typical HGI style - functional, but far from stylish. The trademark pantry next to reception was available, where mineral water could be purchased. Despite quite a long wait for check-in I was soon in my top floor standard room with a curious curved ceiling and a decent enough view over the airport, albeit mostly blocked by the Sheraton. One of the benefits of sharing a building with the 'main' Hilton is that the rooms at the HGI are slightly better appointed than a typical HGI property, albeit are on the small side.
The bathroom had a shower over the bath and that most horrid of hotel room features - a shower curtain. Amenities were the usual Hilton ones by Crabtree and Evelyn. There were no face cloths or slippers, although the latter could be purchased from the reception pantry.
Breakfast at the hotel's restaurant area was adequate but felt a little like dining in a school cafeteria; this is one area which definitely felt more HGI than Hilton.
On balance, this was a straightforward enough stay in a decent room at a property not pretending to be anything more than it is.

The walk is not that far, this is one of the nearest hotel to T1. And is accessible via a 100% covered walk.
I would like them to renovate the bathroom, apart from that they should change nothing, as the property is closed to perfect for a night before/after a flight. Price is often but not always good. Service is usually quite good, they regularly take me take an item from the pantry for free.

agree about the walk, but I advise just heading to the long haul station along the walkway (signage good) and presto when you arrive at the station just look to your right about 1/2 flit there are both Hiltons.

Hilton Frankfurt Airport / HGI Frankfurt Airport Sold Out a year in advance
Hi All -
I am trying to see if anyone has any insight on what’s going on with Hilton Frankfurt Airport and Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport availability.
I was checking them out for beginning of Jan 2025 and both of them are sold out. Is that typical for these both hotels to be sold out that far in advance?

I recall for Hilton Munich Airport (yes, not FRA, but as an example) availability only started to appear like ~10 months out, so similar could happen at FRA. Keep checking once a week or so, it'll appear eventually.

Noting that there's really no reason to be concerned about booking either property so far in advance, especially for a relatively low demand period.

Any recent stay reports for the Hilton? I have stayed at the HGI many times as they are usually a bit cheaper and, frankly, perfectly fine for a quick one-night stay before an early morning flight. This time I have an expiring free night cert, so assuming availability I am leaning towards trying the Hilton. I am Diamond and likely would have time for a quick visit to the lounge for a night cap… and also time for a leisurely breakfast since my flight isn’t until 2pm. I am traveling solo, so room size is no factor.

Question: Does anyone know if the Hilton Garden Inn offers a Dayroom option and rate? I do not see it mentioned on their website. I can/will contact the hotel directly but was wondering if anyone has experience. Thanks.

And Hilton makes it very easy to book compared to others, you can easily search this online at Hilton's website or in the Hilton app, just select the same date for check-in and check-out, unselect 'use points', and search.
I've done day use rates at both the Hilton and HGI at FRA.

Yes they do. Most all Hilton's worldwide offer a day use rate.
