In May 2023, plans were announced for a new full service Hyatt property to open in Frankfurt, Germany, which I’ve been quite excited about, as I travel through Frankfurt quite a bit.

And on a side note - why so beige? Feels like they were using a design that was finalised in 2002..
How is possible to be marketed as 5 star hotel when is lacking pool and spa? Amount of Amenities are generally the requirements for any local regulatory to assign stars..
The design is so awful. It could be anywhere. For a supposedly soft brand, there's zero identity here and nothing says Germany at all. This could be Oklahoma City.

The opening coincides with the first big trade fair of the year, called 'Heimtextil', at the Messe Frankfurt fairground. There's always a shortage of hotel rooms for these big fairs, so this may be a welcome addition to the 'inventory' of rooms going forward.
The hotel has a nice design but unfortunately I did not enjoy my stay due to the poor noise insulation. Even as I requested a higher floor room, I got assigned one on the fourth floor. The check in agent spent a lot of time looking for a room and stated multiple times that I “booked on points “. I got the impression that he wanted to avoid to give any meaningful room upgrade.
We didn’t notice it at once; at night the road noise was significant and we both slept poorly.

I mentioned it again at check out and there wasn’t the slightest attempt of a service recovery.
