The Florentin, An Althoff Collection Hotel

The Florentin, An Althoff Collection Hotel

The Florentin, An Althoff Collection Hotel sits in Sachsenhausen, the green, dense district south of the Main, a short walk from the Städel Museum and Museum Giersch. The main hotel is new, opened in December 2025 with 147 rooms, but it stands beside a genuine survivor: Villa Speyer, designed in 1901 by Alfred Günther for Eduard Beit von Speyer, where historic wallpaper patterns were reinterpreted and old furniture reupholstered rather than replaced. Book into the Villa and you get a personal host for the stay, private check-in and check-out inside the historic rooms, and a Wintergarten where mornings start quietly. That kind of continuity with a real building's past is not something a new-build hotel usually offers, and it is what separates this address from its neighbours. The rest of the property is straightforward and well equipped: a spa built around an indoor pool lit by daylight, a Finnish sauna, biosauna and steam room, five treatment rooms including one for two, and treatments developed with Dr. Barbara Sturm. There is a conference hall for anyone combining the trip with work, a garden and terrace for anyone not, and a library if neither appeals. Pets are allowed, and one Junior Suite and one Corner Suite are adapted for wheelchair users, though the spa itself is not accessible, worth knowing before booking. This suits someone who wants a real building's history folded into modern comfort and doesn't mind Frankfurt's working rhythm outside the door. Anyone hoping for beach-resort quiet, or unwilling to plan around the 150 EUR extra-bed fee for family stays, should look elsewhere. The Villa remains the reason to choose it. The Florentin pairs a new 147-room hotel in Sachsenhausen with Villa Speyer, an 1901 mansion kept intact with its own host and private check-in. Spa, pool and conference hall round out the stay, but the Villa's history is what sets it apart.
