Frankfurter Hof
Am Kaiserplatz, Bethmannstraße
Frankfurt, September 2024
“The Frankfurter Hof is a hotel in Frankfurt am Main and is part of the Steigenberger Hotel Group. The hotel building is located on Kaiserplatz in Frankfurt's city center. It is a listed building. The hotel lobby, which houses the Hofgarten breakfast restaurant, the OSCAR'S restaurant, and the ‘Autorenbar’, is also open to non-hotel guests. The hotel was built between 1872 and 1876 on the site of the former Weisser Hirsch by Karl Jonas Mylius and Alfred Friedrich Bluntschli. It immediately became one of Frankfurt's top restaurants. The first director was J. Fauchère-Schimon. Albert Steigenberger acquired the hotel in 1940. Just four years later, the building was destroyed by bombs during the Second World War air raids on Frankfurt am Main. The temporary reopening took place in 1948, initially with 20 beds. Five years later, the house was rebuilt in a simplified form—with a penthouse floor replacing the original mansard roof.” (Frankfurter Hof, Wikipedia)
