Our take
About a minute's walk from Frankfurt's main station, Grand Hotel Empire offers four-star comforts that are rare this close to the platforms: a rooftop restaurant with city views, a sauna, a fitness center, breakfast and parking. I recommend it to rail travellers who want refined rooms without a taxi ride. The 7.2 rating from more than 860 reviews is solid rather than outstanding, so travellers who put guest scores first should compare the other hotels on this page.
- Take advantage of the complimentary breakfast to fuel up before a day of exploring Frankfurt.
- Consider dining at the rooftop restaurant for a memorable experience with city views.
- Utilize the hotel's proximity to the main train station for easy access to public transport and city attractions.

Why guests love itGrand Hotel Empire is a convenient choice for families arriving by train, since it sits about a minute's walk from Frankfurt's main station. Breakfast is available, parking helps families travelling by car, and the rooftop restaurant with city views makes an easy first dinner after a journey. Parents can use the sauna and fitness center while the trip winds down. I would book it for a short city stay where location matters most, keeping in mind that the rating sits at 7.2.
