Go to Home PageSubscribeAdvertiser disclosureSearch The Points Guy chances are you've thought about the nearby hotel options in case your travel plans go awry while at this busy hub Although it's never great to get stranded abroad at an airport the good news is that there are four convenient lodging options within walking distance of the airport's Terminal 1 from which Lufthansa and its Star Alliance partners but we wondered how they stacked up against each other we spent a night hotel hopping among the four of them Here's who each of these four hotels will be best for — and what you can expect at each one our take on Marriott Bonvoy's conjoined hotels just across from the airport's Terminal 1 Previous slideNext slide1 of 6(Photo by Mimi Wright/The Points Guy)012345Best for: Tired travelers willing to spend more for a cushy stay without a long journey between Terminal 1 and a bed Simply take an escalator up from the departures level walk across an enclosed pedestrian bridge and make a right into the shared entrance of the Marriott and the Sheraton then veer off to the left toward the Marriott's lobby The price point: At 170 euros ($173) for a one-night Deluxe King room stay in the first week of June Award nights through Marriott's Bonvoy loyalty program will cost 31,000-41,000 points apiece depending on the date The vibe: The lobby was beautiful and had a chic and classy vibe compared to the hectic hallways of Frankfurt Airport leather and wood materials presented a comfy — and somewhat sexy — respite from the hustle and bustle of travel The sitting area looked like the living room of a well-off Manhattanite who had just a little bit too much money to spend on furniture The dining area felt fresh and even worthy of an Instagram post thanks to the sophisticated contrast of the green leather seating and the yellow glassware the brass fixtures and the airiness of the skylit space Just beware the mid-morning rush when large groups of travelers tend to clog the area waiting to check out It truly felt like a little haven away from the chaos of travel Though the hotel shares some common public areas with the Sheraton around the corner it still felt individualistic and approachable and the staff was accommodating enough to enable an early check-in The rooms: The decor was straightforward but with little quirks like quotes by Goethe (a Frankfurt native) on the walls and the industrial nature of the design felt like a deliberate allusion to the nearby airport A decent-size desk was excellent for getting some work done during a layover and the in-room Krups espresso machine with complimentary coffee pods and accompaniments can be a jetlag-busting lifesaver The gray-tiled bathroom lay somewhere between institutional and oasis-like with a basin-style sink a backlit vanity and half-glassed-in shower whose steady water pressure made sudsing up with the provided thisworks products a refreshing experience Previous slideNext slide1 of 8(Photo by Mimi Wright/The Points Guy)01234567Drinking and dining: The hotel's public amenities many of which are shared with the adjacent Sheraton providing a nice respite from the crowds circulating throughout the busy airport which connects the Marriott with the Sheraton is open for lunch and dinner and is centered around a bright atrium with plenty of counter and restaurant-style seating to either side of the central bar At one end there was a Starbucks outlet for caffeine on the go though the restaurant serves food and drinks throughout the day and evening including fresh items like Caesar salad with grilled chicken ($26) pan-fried hake with Dijon sauce ($31) and a Marriott signature burger ($25) Guests can partake of breakfast at the Sheraton though expect a hefty bill of 32 euros ($33) per person if you don't get free breakfast through elite status Previous slideNext slide1 of 9(Photo by Mimi Wright/The Points Guy)012345678Overall: The lobby was chic the service was spot on and the food options were varied and fresh especially after a decent amount of travel and eating on the go The room decor was more playful than you might expect and though the hotel was more expensive than the Sheraton Previous slideNext slide1 of 3(Photo by Ethan Klapper/The Points Guy)012Best for: More budget-minded Bonvoy loyalists looking for a better-priced but just as convenient option as the Marriott Location: You can access the hotel from Terminal 1 the same way you get to the Marriott only head right instead of left to get to its lobby The price point: We paid 149 euros ($152) for a one-night stay in early June in a standard king room though that might be the summer rush.) Points redemptions range from 22,000 to 30,000 points per night for a standard room in the next few months Previous slideNext slide1 of 5(Photo by Ethan Klapper/The Points Guy)01234The vibe: Despite a new and attractive lobby this large hotel — it was originally 1,008 rooms before the Marriott was carved out of it in 2020 — has guestrooms and hallways that are drab (but certainly functional) The maze of corridors were dimly lit and spartan with the exception of room number signs featuring an airplane motif — an obvious reminder that yes a fitness center and a restaurant with the Marriott It's an example of some brand synergy in the Marriott portfolio that was made possible by the company's 2016 acquisition of Starwood — of which Sheraton was a part Previous slideNext slide1 of 9(Photo by Ethan Klapper/The Points Guy)012345678The rooms: Standard rooms live up to that categorization measuring approximately 291 square feet with standard if quickly aging accouterments like king-size beds with blonde wood frames woven fabric headboards and well-worn white linens Business travelers can get some work done at awkwardly placed (yet well-powered) elliptical wooden desks and stay ahead of jetlag thanks to the provided tea and coffee supplies (no espresso machines here) The wall-mounted televisions have streaming capabilities the almost clinical (and glaringly lit) bathrooms wouldn't look out of place in a hospital ward and have hard-to-navigate shower-tub combos though the (somewhat confusing) mix of Le Grand Bain and Acca Kappa bath products are an overall plus Dining and drinking: The Sheraton shares a lobby with the Marriott Its signature burger is a sizzling patty placed on a tasty sourdough roll with a bowl of crispy fries the berry tarte flambee ($14) looks more like a berry-topped pizza than the Alsatian delight it's meant to be Previous slideNext slide1 of 3(Photo by Ethan Klapper/The Points Guy)012Overall: The Sheraton tends to be priced much lower than the Marriott -- often 100 euros ($101) less per night -- but shares the same location and amenities we checked into Hilton's sibling properties at the Squaire spaceship-like office building with a few shops and restaurants that is connected to the airport and its train station via an indoor walkway Previous slideNext slide1 of 6(Photo by Ethan Klapper/The Points Guy)012345Best for: Hilton Honors members who don't mind spending 10 more minutes walking to the airport along with spending a few extra euros on a slightly elevated hotel experience Location: The Hilton Frankfurt Airport is located in the architecturally singular Squaire which itself is built on top of the Frankfurt Airport's long-distance train station It's about a 10-minute walk from Terminal 1 and about a five-minute walk past the entrance to the Marriott and Sheraton via the enclosed pedestrian bridge that connects the airport and the train station There are a few more escalators and turns to navigate but great signage makes it easy to get between the hotel and airport A Burger King and Starbucks are located right outside the hotel entrance with a Rossmann drugstore nearby for purchasing any needed travel essentials The price point: Rates in early June were 161 euros ($164) for a one-night stay in a standard queen room (Cash rates are now considerably higher.) At check-in an upgrade to a standard king room was offered for just 5 euros ($5.09) This hotel participates in the Hilton Honors program with award stays that range from 32,000 to 70,000 points per night for a standard room in the coming months The vibe: The architecturally interesting lobby almost feels like something out of a futuristic science fiction movie. It's also a bit sterile: The airy, open space could use a bit more furniture and lacked much seating. The lobby bar was closed during our stay in early June and was only used for a few hours each evening to host the hotel's evening reception for elite Hilton Honors members Re-opening that bar might work wonders for livening up the lobby this hotel never felt particularly crowded despite being located so close to one of Europe's busiest airports One big downside to the design is that the stunning glass-enclosed lobby isn't air conditioned which creates a greenhouse effect — making it very hot in the late spring afternoon sun Previous slideNext slide1 of 12(Photo by Ethan Klapper/The Points Guy)01234567891011The rooms: Rooms are bright and large with neutral-toned woods and upholstery — though the boldly patterned carpeting and bright red modernistic wingback chairs provide a little character The large glass desks feel outdated at this point Bathrooms are spacious and include both a soaking tub with tiled backsplash and a separate walk-in shower stocked with fragrant Crabtree & Evelyn products well-stocked minibars and easy-to-use hot water kettles with instant coffee complete the business traveler's trifecta of in-room amenities My exterior-facing room had a view of the autobahn and Overall: Aside from its singular setting, there's not much to distinguish the Hilton Frankfurt Airport from a Hilton anywhere else in the world. The decor is somewhat bland and the in-room amenities are fine, if unremarkable. That said, this could be a decent use of points when room rates soar during busy times of year, and a bargain at other times. Previous slideNext slide1 of 5(Photo by Mimi Wright/The Points Guy)01234Best for: Thrifty travelers who want to earn or burn Hilton points at an affordable rate. Location: Follow the directions above for Hilton Frankfurt Airport, but turn left immediately before entering the lobby of the Hilton. The vibe: Small and stark, the lobby had a few squared-off sofas for lounging by the no-nonsense check-in desks, but did not feel like a place to hang out. The hotel does deserve a plus for glass elevators that whisk you up to guest rooms through the central atrium. Previous slideNext slide1 of 4(Photo by Mimi Wright/The Points Guy)0123Overall: If you just need a quick rest before or between flights and don't care about other amenities, the Hilton Garden Inn Frankfut Airport is just fine. However, if you're going to spend any time in your room or want a convenient on-site restaurant (without having to venture out into the Squaire), then you'll probably be better off at the Hilton. If you're traveling through Frankfurt Airport, you certainly have some solid hotel options in case you get stuck there unexpectedly. The Frankfurt Airport Marriott has an unbeatable location and is the newest of the hotels; a beautiful, spotless property with a thoughtful design. The Hilton Frankfurt Airport is a farther walk from the terminal, but also a winner, with nice-enough design and highly functional rooms. Food and beverage options at this property are pricey and limited, but many other options abound just outside the front door. The third full-service property, the Sheraton Frankfurt Airport Hotel & Conference Center, is co-located with the Marriott and also is very convenient, though its dark, dated design and sterile bathrooms leave a bit to be desired. Finally, budget-conscious travelers should be satisfied with the Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport, which is at a lower price point than its full-service neighbors but does not sacrifice the convenience. If you end up staying at one of these properties, we sure hope you're there willingly and not because an airline meltdown sent you there. But in any case, we're glad to report that you shouldn't have a problem enjoying a decent stay at any of them.

fast-flowing Oder river that marks the beginning of German Federal Republic a bridge connects these two European nations A single-file line of cars waits patiently to enter from Poland some carrying machine guns and adorned in high-viz vests wave cars through or pull over the ones they deem suspicious “It’s daily business here that people don’t meet the entry requirements for Germany and perhaps even for the Schengen area and then have to be subjected to further police measures,” Tom Knie a youthful-looking police officer says in between checks referring to the passport-free travel zone within the European Union These are now the new realities on all of Germany’s land borders Berlin ordered the “temporary reintroduction of border control” at Germany’s borders with Belgium The move extends the controls already in place at the borders with Poland the Czech Republic and Switzerland that have been in operation since October The reason for the reintroduction of these checks lies largely in German domestic issues but each compounding pressure on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his governing coalition the most severe of which is coming from Germany’s burgeoning and increasingly confident far right But they also mark the end of an era of Germany’s liberal migration policy – Wilkommenskultur or “welcome culture” – initiated by Scholz’s predecessor Angela Merkel in 2015 and raise questions over the viability of the entire Schengen zone As if a reminder of the importance the surging Alternative for Germany (AfD) party places in securing Germany’s border pinned to the lamp posts along the road into Frankfurt/Oder are their campaign posters swoops over a bin which contains a traffic light – the symbol of the coalition government here known as the “traffic light coalition” – and more insidiously A spate of terror attacks ahead of key state elections in right-wing leaning regions thrust the issue of migration front and center of the recent votes a 25-year-old Afghan man killed a police officer in Manheim and weeks later a 26-year-old Syrian man killed three people in knife attacks in Solingen Both incidents were capitalized on by the AfD One of the party’s most controversial figures, Bjoern Hoecke, called on X for an “end to this misguided path of forced multiculturalism.” In early September the AfD became the first far-right party since the Nazi era to win outright a state election The AfD has long campaigned on a ticket that is largely anti-immigration has said in the past that Germany had become “a country without borders where anyone can come in and we do nothing about it.” has found a way to gnaw at Scholz’s support and has ultimately forced the chancellor to act Speaking in the Bundestag ahead of the border restrictions Scholz said “we’re doing this although it will be difficult with our neighbors… I think we have to get through this It is now necessary for us to endure this dispute.” a researcher at the German Institute of International and Security Affairs told CNN that caving to the calls from right-wing populists is not going to win elections He said “mainstream parties cannot ignore that there is a public sentiment that migration has to be brought more under control but to really start adopting positions that the AfD was taking on There is potential for more misery to be heaped on Scholz and his government this weekend as Brandenburg also goes to the polls to elect its regional leaders Current forecasts put the AfD on course for 28.4% of the vote The outcome could easily spell more trouble for Scholz and a further weakening of his coalition and increase the calls for new federal elections sooner than next September The calls for more checks on Germany’s borders also mark a step-change at the heart of the European Union from Merkel’s policies and ever popular former German chancellor Merkel opened Germany’s borders to migrants fleeing their homes – at the time largely Syrians because of the country’s civil war Migration data from the German government shows that 13.7 million non-German migrants entered from 2015-2023 In the same period before 2015 that number was just 5.8 million The moves by Merkel became known as Wilkommenskulturand and set Germany apart on the world stage in liberal migration policy the founding chairman of the European Stability Initiative think tank told CNN that “Germany has been a pillar of the European and global refugee system” but now he sees the current German government “sleepwalking into a trap.” He said the promise to control irregular migration at the border won’t be possible but instead “will raise expectations that will lead to demands to really build fences is “faced with the demand to regularize and control movement [and] the government accepts the legitimacy of the demand [by the far-right] but then doesn’t have a policy that will work.” the prospect of the change in German policy raises another specter “If you promise to control an emotional issue like migration and what you propose doesn’t work not only are you not going to achieve your objective you’re setting yourself up for a failure that will be exploited by those prepared

Why AsGoodAsNew Electronics is happy with its Frankfurt (Oder) home comforts The best of both worlds: lord mayor lauds benefits of Frankfurt (Oder) location Twin benefits: why Frankfurt (Oder) and Slubice's co-operation is paying off Frankfurt (Oder) is located directly on the east-west transport route of the North Sea-Baltic Corridor a pivotal part of the Trans-European Transport Networks It is at the interface of two major national markets with easy access to the emerging markets of eastern Europe The city also benefits from the human capital in Berlin from which more than 1000 workers commute into Frankfurt (Oder) every day more than 13,000 people commute into the city to work each day Berlin Schoenefeld airport is located a 45-minute drive away. Frankfurt (Oder) has struggled to grow With a peak population of about 87,000 in 1989 resident numbers have steadily fallen to nearly 57,000 today as a result of the massive demographic shift that came with the opening of what was East Germany to the rest of the world mass migration to Berlin and the old West Germany – as well as unemployment which stands at 10.2% in Frankfurt (Oder) today – has thinned out regional human capital according to research from the Free University of Berlin Frankfurt (Oder)’s pitch as a logistics and research destination at the centre of Europe is strengthened by its highly specialised technology facilities It was recognised in fDi Magazine’s 2016/17 German Cities of the Future ranking for cost effectiveness largely due to its significantly lower worker and rent costs than Berlin as well as the highest subsidy levels in Germany – up to 40% grants for investments eastern German labour costs are on average 33.4% cheaper than in western Germany Its twin-cities initiative with next-door Słubice is one of many steps it has taken to present an attractive investment destination to foreign businesses This means a broader and more affordable workforce equipped with multiple languages The Frankfurt (Oder)-Słubice Co-operation Centre calls the crossborder city “a trailblazer of the European ideal.” In addition to the logistical and linguistic advantages of being a border city the position offers both Frankfurt (Oder) and Słubice mutually beneficial infrastructure The cities share a joint district heating system and waste water treatment plant in Słubice that serves both towns Słubice residents gain from their relative proximity to Berlin – trains to Berlin depart Frankfurt (Oder) every 30 minutes and the Polish town is a mere 15-minute drive from Frankfurt (Oder)’s city centre More than 1000 people use the crossborder bus service which links the two cities’ town centres as well as their universities About 200 Polish companies operate in Frankfurt (Oder) the largest being cargo terminal operator PCC Intermodal which has engaged in a public-private investment of more than €10m into the terminal in the city’s Freight Village the terminal helps transport 60,000 containers of cargo yearly from the region to Europe’s main ports says: “We’ve been in Frankfurt (Oder) for more than 10 years The city is at the centre of all our operations and the administration supports us very well in marketing We are quite satisfied to be here; it’s really a great place for our network so we took over this terminal and we’ll be here for the next 25 years.” the former East German republic had a thriving semiconductor industry which largely dissipated after the Berlin Wall came down and investors headed westward have seen the formation of a small cluster of highly specialised enterprises and business incubators throughout the former East Germany which are fuelling start-ups and gaining attention from investors. Central to the life of Frankfurt (Oder)’s scientific community is the Leibniz Institute for Innovations for High Performance Microelectronics With more than 300 employees from 23 countries it is a buzzing centre of R&D for systems design “The focus of research at the institute lies in economically relevant issues resulting in applications for telecommunications and automation technologies,” says IHP scientific director Bernd Tillack. IHP has numerous partnerships with international science and technology firms The institute was recently won an award for its apprenticeships for young people and runs collaborations with local kindergartens in Frankfurt (Oder) to foster youth enthusiasm for science One budding company with a vested connection to IHP is Silicon Radar a Frankfurt (Oder) start-up developing radar sensors for applications in industry The company’s founder was a researcher at IHP and now uses the knowledge base to fuel its work says: “We have co-operation contracts in place to use IHP’s equipment and it is one of our most important customers and our most important supplier.” Frankfurt (Oder)’s largest foreign investor is Chinese energy giant Chint Group which purchased the assets of a former German photovoltaics company for €6m after it went into insolvency in 2013 The company now trades under the name of Chint Group’s subsidiary and produces solar modules for the European market Astronergy has 3000 employees in seven solar module production facilities worldwide and its European base in Frankfurt (Oder) employs 250 people. the city administration and the state of Brandenburg have been very supportive especially during the M&A process,” says Dietmar Gutzmer director of business administration at Astronergy Solarmodule “Financially there are many opportunities for subsidies and [regional investment promotion agency] Investor Centre Ostbrandenburg has been very helpful as well.” A particularly interesting spot for growing companies is the publicly owned TeGeCe technology park which houses more than 50 national and international companies and more than 3000 employees TeGeCe enables SMEs to start local production by leasing facilities at affordable costs from 20-square-metre rental offices to multi-level factory buildings The park has 80,000 square metres of space for commercial and industrial use and offers facility refurbishing specific to companies’ needs including electrical component manufacturing from the likes of Japanese company Yamaichi and Germany’s ChipCard Solutions Its companies also work in civil engineering warehouses (such as local start-up AsGoodAsNew Electronics) and Belgian plastic production company New Product Packlab (NPP). NPP began operations in 2014 and by 2015 had achieved a turnover of €5m with sales facilities in Belgium and production in Frankfurt (Oder) “The investment climate in this region is very positive – a lot of effort has been made to attract FDI,” says NPP’s finance director “The investor centre has helped us tremendously We try to be a world player and we feel that Frankfurt (Oder) is at the centre of Europe.” NPP exports 90% of its production internationally. One of Frankfurt (Oder)’s gems is the European University of Viadrina It stands on the site of the former Brandenburg University Frankfurt which was originally founded in 1506 but has been closed for centuries the university embodies Frankfurt (Oder)’s international ideals with a student body of 6500 representing 95 countries It has a robust research and foreign exchange programme through partnerships with 263 universities worldwide and offers courses in multiple languages It also works in collaboration with neighbouring Słubice’s Collegium Polonicum which specialises in German-Polish studies and international law Viadrina was recently ranked among Germany’s top six universities for business administration The university’s Centre for Entrepreneurship and Research provides support for start-up development and aspiring entrepreneurs helping would-be entrepreneurs stay in the city beyond graduation A scenic riverside dotted by the architectural gems that survived the Second World War’s bombings Frankfurt (Oder) provides a quiet and idyllic setting for families and students “You have a small town welcome and a very active cultural scene,” says Frankfurt (Oder) mayor Martin Wilke singing academies and natural surroundings the city is home to the Brandenburg State Symphony Orchestra Frankfurt (Oder) which has performed all over the world since its founding in the mid-19th century the orchestra sponsors educational projects and youth arts initiatives. “Here you have a smaller city; it’s less crowded and more relaxed,” adds Mr Wilke Capitalising on crossborder co-operation and attractive incentives for companies and entrepreneurs Frankfurt (Oder) is bolstering its reputation as an open international city with room to grow.

There are already a few pockmarks across the surface. “Hopefully this won’t be a running theme of this game. Kyle Walker has already lost his footing on a few occasions.” A severe weather warning was issued across the western and central regions of Germany on Wednesday. Dusseldorf and Gelsenkirchen were all closed due to the harsh conditions Cologne also acted in accordance with the weather as organisers released a statement explaining their actions It read: "Due to an official storm warning from late morning with expected heavy rain all events and functions of the Host City Cologne associated with the European Championships being cancelled on Wednesday "The necessary talks with the security partners were already held yesterday evening and the preparatory measures to secure the venues were initiated The decision to cancel all events was made on Tuesday morning after further consultation with the German Weather Service." Meteorologist Dominik Jung told German outlet BILD there had even been a potential 'risk to life' and that the closures were necessary to protect against every eventuality "There is a risk to life," he advised, speaking ahead of the fixtures that took place two days before England's clash "We don't currently know every place that could get hit but we do know the region where something could happen "People will complain again: 'We didn't have anything.'

Football Europa Leagueo-dear Benfica fan travels to the WRONG Frankfurt ahead of Europa League clashOne unfortunate supporter has travelled to Frankfurt (Oder) which is more than 600 kilometres away from Frankfurt (Main) - where Benfica play the Eintracht tonight A Benfica supporter has ended up in the wrong Frankfurt ahead of his team's Europa League clash at the Commerzbank-Arena on Thursday night. Alvaro Oliveira, who made the 28-hour car journey from Lisbon, went to Frankfurt (Oder), rather than Frankfurt (Main) where the Eintracht actually play.

Eagle-eyed Instagram users were quick to notice the mistake after picking up on a series of road signs in the travelling fan's 'story'. Frankfurt themselves joined in the fun, commenting 'Ui' on one of his posts, which translates to 'hi' in Portuguese.
