Over the years I’ve reviewed several hotels in Frankfurt, most of which I consider to be pretty mediocre. However, there’s one hotel I had heard good things about but had never stayed at, which would be Villa Kennedy, a Rocco Forte hotel.

Interesting. I have stayed in numerous suites over the years but never tried this one. This would make a soft transition after a long haul flight in First. (Despite what the haters may think)
Really like this hotel. FYI interestingly Amex FHR benefits include two alcoholic drinks (anything, including Champagne) as well as the hotel credit.
Its a great hotel. One thing I really liked is that if breakfast is included in your rate, you can choose to order room service for a nominal charge (I think 3 euros).
I also liked the larger toiletry bottles (not shown, but 100ml) as I think they save plastic.
Good report. You didn't comment on the service... in Matthew's review on L&LF, he had a pretty rough go. All good in your case?
I would think it would be remiss to not consider that this was once the home of a wealthy family but it was seized by the German nazi government because they were Jewish. So tourists are now welcome and pay to reside in what was once a private home. To me it is reminiscent of paying to stay in a prison turned hotel.
Did the hotel have any momentos or any mention of this part of this buildings history?
What a beautiful building but what terribly ugly furniture in all of the public spaces!
I always stay there when in Frankfurt, and the service has always been excellent.
We passed by the hotel enroute from and to the airport.....staying at the Jumeirah tower downtown. We enjoy Rocco Forte hotels elsewhere but found this one's location a little out-of-the-way for our first stay in Frankfurt. While you mention the two U.S. chain hotels as options, you did not suggest the Jumeirah......is there a reason?
I can't help but think this post was really written by a teenager? Repeatedly saying "Anyway..." makes it sound like Ben has problems paying attention and staying focused as he's writing these reviews.
Tiffany is, by far, the best writer of this whole crew.
Where are you getting these base rates? I've noticed that when you talk about hotel prices, they're always 50% cheaper than the rates I can find by randomly searching dates.
Great review Ben. I love that one of the Virtuoso benefits is a "Welcome Note from the General Manager". Priceless really.
Nicer than the Westin but not every virtuoso booking will snag the suite. Not sure I would pay extra $$$ to stay here on a layover unless my wife was joining. Particularly if you plan to walk out and about.
That being said great review as I always wondered if it was worth the $$$ and giving up points earn
I stayed in room 322 two months ago as I had to stay a night in Frankfurt to use my business class award on Lufthansa back home. Even though I had a standard room I much prefer the decor as it was a pretty room. I don’t like this wall paper much. It is a very nice hotel in a nice quiet location that is a 15 minute walk walk to the main downtown. The staff are very kind and helpful. Rocco Forte is a great chain.
Looks very nice but besides agreeing with @michael's comment, I can't help but think that's the most pitiful welcome amenity I've ever seen.
What a worthless comment about being owned by a Jewish family before the War. No mention of the nightlife in Sachsenhausen just outside the door? Pity.
