In that case I might get to stay there for the FRA Advent DO after all. I've completed an enquiry form on their website but it ended up with the UK customer services. Let's see what they'll have to say.
p.s. Thanks for the photos. ^ Still looks like a building site.

I filled out an enquiry form on hilton.com and received the following reply.
"Thank you for contacting the Hilton Internet Contact Center. It is my pleasure to assist you today with your Hotel opening date inquiry. The hotel to which you are referring is currently scheduled to open on December 01, 2011."
Sorry, servus! Not that I didn't believe what you said
but it's good to hear it from the horse's mouth as well.

Off to the HH website to see if I can book some dates for a Dec trip....

As of yesterday, it appeared construction is still going on- however it could be conceivable for a December opening?? I guess it depends on how finished the inside is- as others have mentioned, the Sheraton is frequently fully booked (especially if you also need a meeting room or two) so it will be excellent to have some more capacity at the Airport.

Just received an email that the opening would be delayed beyond the date of my reservation in December and offering to transfer the booking to the Hilton in the city. I guess I'll have to reluctantly accept the change provided they honour the pre-paid non-refundable rate at the HGI from the January sale!

They had update the date again:
This hotel will soon be joining the Hilton Worldwide Portfolio of Brands and is presently accepting reservations for arrival January 15, 2012 and beyond.
Now I just need to be think if I should cancel my Sheraton FRA and stay here in stead for my March 1-night stopover.... since I do not have any status with SPG any more.

Does the Hilton Frankfurt have a lot of stuff that you can walk to? I'm assuming that we'll want to walk to the nearest restaurant without having to jump on a train.. we'll stay at the downtown location if there is stuff within walking distance...

Yes, plenty of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. Everything from Starbucks to Michelin-starred dining.
