Here is a rather long thread, that was easy to find using "frankfurt" as the keyword when using the search feature.

rockdoc, sounds like there's only 1 Hilton in FRA so that's probably the one to choose 
Have a great time as a first-time tourist! Having said that, FRA isn't really that exciting a destination. Are you going elsewhere in Germany or doing day trips?
Cheers.

Yeah, don't stay in Frankfurt. BTW, don't go to Frankfurt. Go to Mainz or Wiesbaden. Wife and I stayed 3 nights in Frankfurt at the Le Meridien (very nice, convenient to HBF) this summer. Highlight of Frankfurt was 1) trip to Mainz & Wiesbaden & 2) doing our laundry.
Notice that there was no particular highlight in Frankfurt. Hmmmmm...

FRA (Frankfurt) getting a pair of Hilton properties
Did a undated search for German Hiltons and up pops "Coming Soon" for a Hilton and a HGI at FRA (Frankfurt airport for the search keywords). Both are located at the Airrail Centre and are expected to be open Nov. 2009

And they are competing with themselves: To my recollection the Frankfurt Sheraton is owned by Hospitality Europe BV and they are owned by Blackstone

This is great news! I often overnight at FRA and stay at the Sheraton there because of the convenience.

Interesting that the same chain would have 2 new properties in the same location (given the difference of a full service Hilton and a HGI). Would have love to have a Hilton near the convention center.
