IHG’s luxury lifestyle brand enters the German market with the opening of Kimpton Main Frankfurt in the FOUR Frankfurt development.
Kimpton Main Frankfurt brings contemporary design to Frankfurt
Kimpton Main Frankfurt hotel has opened in the city’s evolving “Four Frankfurt” district, a part of the city that celebrates both modern architecture and its historic Bauhaus design influence.
With a creative design by London-based architecture firm Waldo Works, this new hotel is an homage to both the city’s design history and the Bauhaus movement that has shaped much of Germany’s architectural identity.
Hotel amenities
The 155-room property includes several distinct dining and social venues:
– MAY: A ground-floor bar offering classic and signature cocktails in a casual atmosphere.
– ANNI: A European brasserie serving a blend of German and French-inspired dishes.
– LAZULI: A rooftop space with skyline views, Mediterranean-style cuisine, and a social setting.
Additional amenities include yoga mats in rooms, complimentary bicycles, a daily social hour, and pet-friendly policies without added fees. The property also offers the brand’s “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” service, providing guests with essential items on request.
“We are thrilled to open the doors to Kimpton Main Frankfurt, our very first Kimpton hotel in Germany. Here, we invite guests to dive into our playful and sophisticated take on hospitality. Our passionate team is dedicated to crafting unforgettable experiences—whether you’re here for work, play, or a little bit of both. In true Kimpton style, we believe that the best connections happen over a delicious cup of coffee or a perfectly crafted cocktail. That’s why our lively social spaces, rooftop bar, and restaurants are the heartbeat of our hotel. With stylish accommodations and a deep connection to the city, Kimpton Main Frankfurt isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a place to be inspired and create lasting memories.” – Ronald Hoogerbrugge, General Manager at Kimpton Main Frankfurt
A design honoring the city’s history and future
The design of Kimpton Main Frankfurt incorporates a contemporary take on Bauhaus style while paying respect to the history of the former Deutsche Bank headquarters, which the building once housed.
The hotel’s interior features a blend of geometric forms and a warm color palette. These elements create a welcoming yet elegant atmosphere that reflects the essence of the 1950s era.
Guests entering the hotel will experience a space that merges contrasting elements, with a large panel of materials, textures and colors. The lobby and restaurant, Anni, are both designed with influences from European Grand Cafés and classic Italian restaurants.
The hotel’s restaurant and bar, Lazuli, offers a unique fusion of Bauhaus and bohemian design. With panoramic windows and a maritime concept, the space gives a feeling of being on a cruise ship deck while overlooking the Frankfurt skyline.
Art integration reflecting the local identity
An integral part of Kimpton Main Frankfurt’s identity is its art collection, curated by Laura Bartlett. The collection showcases works that represent both the history of the building and the cultural identity of Frankfurt. In the rooms, colorful, geometric collages inspired by Bauhaus textiles by Monika Gardyla complement photographs by Jenny Van Sommers.
Additionally, 3D sculptures by Ruairiadh O’Connell, a former student of the Städelschule in Frankfurt, adorn the walls of the guest rooms, honoring the Bauhaus tradition.
Kimpton Main Frankfurt joins a growing European portfolio that includes properties in London, Barcelona, and Paris, with further developments underway in Marbella and the Algarve.
