I seem to transit Frankfurt Airport quite a bit, and when I have a quick overnight my preference is to stay at the Sheraton Frankfurt Airport. It's a great way to earn stay credits towards SPG status, the hotel is connected by a walkway to the airport terminal, and the club lounge is one of…

Lucky, I might be wrong but I don't think the SkyLine between the terminals is airside.
@Claus -- The SkyTrain is airside. I used it to transfer from Z to B last year.
This hotel is great for those who require a visa for Europe and find a good catch. Not uncommon for Egyptians to need to spend 10+ hrs in European airports for good deals (~350 EUR!) to the US.
Yikes, those prices are CRAZY! Considering the fact that I got the Frankfurt Garden Inn hotel (attached to FRA by the sky bridge ) this summer for a little over $100US plus tax. Also, I got the Transit hotel this summer in SIN for six hours at $36USD plus tax.
The FRA Transit hotel really only makes sense for people who might have to pay a huge visa fee to enter the country, otherwise, why not take the 12 minute metro into town where a plethora of hotel options exist!?
@SullyofDoha : precisely. Or better yet, book a better connection. FRA by subway into city center is quite fast, so I don't see the reason to pay this highway ransom.
I certainly welcome the *option* of a transit bed (my parents in their 70s can certainly use them), but not at those price levels.
Abdel and Sully nailed it. At those prices, NotMyCloud is only for the visa-constrained or the fiscally-aloof.
Looks like a carbon copy of the CItizenM Hotels in London/Amsterdam/Etc. They are fantastic by the way, worth a stay at some point, especially the one in London with a view of the Tower of London!
The Hilton Frankfurt Airport is a few steps farther, but well worth the extra exercise. It has become my favorite airport Hilton, so far.
@ Abdel: Ha, I just looked it up. The train is actually simultaneously airside and landside. It has stops in both parts of each terminal, and one of the wagons opens its doors only at airside stops, the other wagon at landside stops. Interesting system.
Thanks for the heads up about this hotel. I have a 5 hour layover in Frankfurt with a 2 year old year on Friday and have booked this hotel for the duration.
