After a business trip to The Hague, I had to continue onto Bangkok, Thailand. I couldn’t find a flight that I could upgrade out of Amsterdam, so I booked an evening flight out of Frankfurt. I figured I’d get up early, take the train and have plenty of time to catch my flight. Well, the day before my flight I got a call saying that the flight was being cancelled, but they’d already rescheduled me for a flight that would depart a few hours ahead of the original flight. I was relieved to be on another flight…until I realized that my train would arrive in Frankfurt 1 hour before the new flight was scheduled to depart. So I did the only thing I could, after work, I headed to Amsterdam and changed my train ticket. The train from Amsterdam Central to Frankfurt Airport took 5 hours and had me at the Frankfurt Airport at around 11:45pm. I headed straight for the Sheraton which is connected to the airport.
The hotel is quite large and even at 11:45pm the lobby was busy. In the hotel lobby there’s a Sheraton Link and business center. There’s a bar and restaurant area as well. There are several large conference rooms on the main floor and it looked like there were conference rooms on other floors as well. There’s a salon and day spa connected to the hotel and just a few steps outside the doors everything the train station and airport have to offer, including a Starbucks (I was very happy I could get a Cool Lime Refresher in the morning.)
I checked in and was told that I was upgraded to a suite. That was very nice, but a little lost on me since it was a short stay. When I got into the room I discovered a very strange configuration of beds. There was a king bed and two twin beds in the bedroom. It would have been great for a family with kids. There were two chairs and a TV. The TV was affixed to the wall and couldn’t be moved which made it impossible to watch it from the main bed. The room was very nice overall.

There was a large entry area with closet and wet/dry bar and mini-bar. The bathroom was also big and had a bath tub and stand-alone shower. The number of bathroom amenities was surprising for Europe. The shower doors were a bit odd and in the morning I discovered that more water ended up on the bathroom floor than in the shower floor.

I didn’t spend much time at the Sheraton Frankfurt airport, but I did like it and would absolutely stay there again if I needed to. While a bit pricy, I would recommend the Sheraton Frankfurt Airport.
How clean was the hotel? Would you say it is one of those hotels, that you wouldn’t feel so bad walking around in if you forgot your hotel slippers?
I always wear slippers, but some times you are in a hotel that just feels so clean you wouldn’t need them (although I usually do.)
Club rooms are worth the extra money here as the lounge is quite nice.
@The Weekly Flyer – it was quite clean, but I’m with you, I always wear slippers.
Just a suggestion but the black background is tough on the eyes especially those who have some issues with eyesight. Black text on a grey background would be easier to read.
that was a family room you were in. We stayed there last year for 1 night and really enjoyed it, although soundproofing could have been a bit better. But overall, nice hotel, excellent club lounge.
Hotel confirmed via a Tweet that the Coffee Machine continues on in the Club Lounge…it is one of the coolest machines I have used! As always, best wishes for safe travels.
@John, I think I’ll be back there in February, so I’ll check it out!
