DISCUSSION for Hilton Honors Hotels in Frankfurt Airport, Germany {DEU}
 

... didn't find this posted:

Hilton is going to build to new hotels at FRA Airport. It will be called AIRRAIL-CENTER, next to FRA on the roof of the train station.

The article is in German, but the pictures are nice.

Just in the last couple of days, I think this post refers to the same new building of a Hilton and Hilton Garden Inn at Frankfurt Airport, sharing some facilities:

Yes, the other post, which I was not aware of, refers to the same building.

The article in manager-magazine mentions only two Hilton hotels, no names: One 5-star and one with lower prices...

I hope that they kep the glass dome thingy that covers the FRA rail station waiting area. It gives me a moment of Zen to arrive on my transcon and them get to see the great outdoors while waiting for my train there (even if it is raining).

Excellent news. I am probably going to start using FRA a lot; I love Hiltons.

Hilton Frankfurt Airport Hotel

Was researching for my trip next year and found this hotel. It state the following at the top of the page:

This hotel will soon be joining the Hilton Worldwide Portfolio of Brands and is presently accepting reservations for arrival March 1, 2012 and beyond

Does anyone have any more info about this hotel? Was it a re-branded hotel? Or is it a brand-new hotel, as I can't find any review on Trip Advisor.

I did a few search but can't seem to find any info. If there are some existing info, please help direct me to that posts.

Thanks.

It is a brand new hotel and they have been working on it for I think 2 years or more. Must have had problems since it was originally supposed to be open early this year. It is above the ICE train terminal in the airport.

There will also be a new Hilton Garden Inn opening right next door at the same time.

Hopefully this will bring down the rates at the airport Sheraton!

I'll let you know when they are finally ready to open. Don't expect them to open this year at all!

It looks huge. We drove by it a few weeks ago on our way in and out of the airport. I hope we can use it next time we fly in/out of Frankfurt. We did enjoy staying in Mainz though.

Thanks for everyone quick respond. Our trip is next year - end of March. So hopefully they will not delay again. Initially, was going to stay either the Sheraton or the HI nearby, but I do not have status with SPG any more. Also rather stay at a hotel that link to the airport that can walk over waiting for shuttle bus.

Thanks.

But I have a reservation there in December 2011! :p They were taking reservations for September/October onwards earlier this year.

hear, hear!
 

Yes, the Sheraton Frankfurt Airport could definitely use a little competition... their rates are frequently outrageous - though their lounge is very good. Am very much looking forward to the new Hilton properties!

We had a reservation for mid-September, and they moved us to the downtown Hilton.
