Hotel Review equipped with wireless internet .

In 2015 the hotel celebrated its 40th anniversary , a year when its SkyLoft established itself as a modern , two-floor event location spread over 540sqm .
SkyLoft is an open room concept with a gallery and is a good choice for exclusive events . There is an avant-garde ambience in this discrete space where guests need not leave the airport , making it also a popular neutral meeting place or negotiation venue with excellent international accessibility .
In 2019 the Congress Center and meeting rooms were renovated and 2022-23 saw the renovation of a further 500 rooms at the Sheraton .
Two restaurants , two bars and a lobby kitchen provide a diverse culinary offer and the venue also boasts the only smoker ´ s bar at Frankfurt Airport – Davidoff Lounge .
But why does this hotel pair of twins even need any degree of separation ? Well , the Sheraton – the larger property of the two – continues to focus on the Sheraton Club , meetings , connecting people , being a global hub , while the Marriott is slightly more individual and a little more stylish , perhaps . There is no separation , however , as to where guests can go . As a Marriott guest you can go for breakfast at the Sheraton – or explore its beer cellar , while those with rooms on the Sheraton side can use the Marriott facilities .
Two Club Lounges ( M Club , Sheraton Club ) offer extra exclusivity and a 400sqm fitness and recreation area provides space to keep fit , with modern cardio equipment , saunas and a steam bath , as well as a Day Spa Sky Lounge . Following the example of the international airlines , a series of special menus , such as diabetic and kosher meals , are available on request . n Explore more over the three websites : n MarriottFrankfurtAirportHotels . com n FrankfurtAirportMarriott . com n SheratonFrankfurtAirport . com
