The Rise of Cool in Frankfurt
Briefly

The Rise of Cool in Frankfurt
"Opened in December 2025, The Florentin, part of the Althoff Collection, is a 147-key boutique housed partially within a grand villa that dates back to 1901. The interiors are all about understated textural elegance (think hand-finished chestnut and oak, bronze detailing, and custom-crafted light fixtures with silk shades). Inside the villa itself are nine gorgeously appointed suites, each paying homage to a different piece of German history."
"There's The Explorer, which nods to Frankfurt-born cartographer Ernst Georg Ravenstein, and The Jazz Musician, a tribute to bassist Günter Lenz. Capping it all off are a dreamy spa and a restaurant helmed by wunderkind Niclas Nussbaumer, who, at the age of 29 became one of the youngest chefs ever to score two Michelin stars. "Close the laptop and enjoy life" is the message-an increasingly enticing proposition in the new Frankfurt."
Frankfurt has been designated the 2026 World Design Capital, elevating the city's international cultural profile. The Florentin opened in December 2025 as a 147-key boutique hotel within part of a 1901 villa and additional new build. Interiors emphasize textural elegance with hand-finished chestnut and oak, bronze detailing, and custom light fixtures with silk shades. The villa contains nine themed suites that honor aspects of German history, including tributes to cartographer Ernst Georg Ravenstein and bassist Günter Lenz. Amenities include a dreamy spa and a restaurant led by Niclas Nussbaumer, a two-Michelin-starred young chef. The hotel encourages a leisure-first stay.
