"A glance at the exterior of the Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof tells you most of what you need to know about what it means to the city. This hotel, coming up on 150 years old, is as grand as ever, and standing as it does at the gateway to Frankfurt’s financial district it continues to play host to a substantial share of the city’s luxury customers. But anyone expecting a period piece — that is, a meticulously preserved 1876-style grand hotel to match the opulent, old-fashioned exterior — is in for a little bit of a surprise." - Tablet Hotels
