<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/Goldmanmn_1.jpg" class="top"> Think about the adjectives typically associated with Frankfurt, Germany. They're not exactly the most pleasant, are they? Perhaps that's why the <a href="http://www.25hours-hotels.com/goldman/">Goldman 25Hours Hotel</a> shakes up the scene with confident use of colors and whimsical design touches. In any case, our stay (1 night, paying a standard prepaid rate of 92 Euros) blessedly brightened what had been a dreary, sleep-deprived week Never heard of the 25Hours boutique chain? Well neither had we until last year, when we found their <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/8/20/15226/9312/hotels/Inside_a_Room_at_Hamburg's_25Hours_Hotel_HafenCity">Hamburg</a> <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/8/21/153913/176/hotels/All_Around_the_Nautical_Nooks_of_the_25Hours_Hamburg_HafenCity_Hotel">HafenCity</a> location and promptly fell head over heels. Their Goldman Frankfurt property is not as new or large as Hamburg, but the brand's bravery with design and affordable rates are very much in house

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/25hband_1.jpg" class="top"> While more and more hotels realize that perhaps their guests prefer a fitness experience other than a musty gym, we see more and more yoga mats in closets and jogging maps on desks. Recently, during a stay at the <a href="http://www.25hours-hotels.com/goldman/?lang=en">Goldman 25Hours in Frankfurt, Germany</a>, we checked in at reception next to this little "Jogging Corner" cart. The Jogging Corner is all the basics you'd need to have an enjoyable run, while traveling light. That means they provide the water bottles, the small sweat towels, wristlet keychains or branded sweatbands, all complimentary to guests. We went for the sweatbands, since we quickly figured out that these serve more than the function of storing the tiny specially made

Europe's First Element Hotel Will Open In Germany

Is Europe ready to balance itself out?

This week it was announced that Element, the brand that once gave out free rooms to guests who showed up with recyclable plastic bottles, is finally making the move across the pond. Starting with...Frankfurt, Germany. Though from the sound of it, Starwood is just scratching the surface, as it plans to embark on a full-blown European expansion of the eco-conscious brand.

Hope those Germans have a soft spot for smoothie stations and healthy breakfast wraps!

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/HilFRAlnge.jpg" class="top"> Over on Jaunted, you can get our inside looks at some of the worlds best <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/tag/Airline%20Lounges">airline lounges</a>, so we thought wed do something similar here and start talking about some of the hotel lounges weve frequented lately for our series on Hotel Club Lounges. Today, we're having a look inside the Executive Lounge at the very new Hilton within The Squaire complex at Frankfurt International Airport. When you're an executive lounge at an airport hotel, it's probably a good idea to mirror the upscale airline lounges found next door, right? Right. So when the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/12/22/165435/24/hotels/Now_Arriving_at_Frankfurt_Airport%3A_Two_Fresh_Hilton_Hotels">Hilton Frankfurt Airport</a> finally opened last December, they kept that jet set appeal all the way up through the executive lounge.

Now Arriving at Frankfurt Airport: Two Fresh Hilton Hotels

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/FRAHiltonbldg.jpg" class="top"> Finally finally Frankfurt Airport has more hotels to offer than the Sheraton with the horrible internet situation. Both the Hilton Frankfurt Airport and Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport debuted yesterday, though this December opening date is a long delay from March, when they originally planned on polishing the door handles. Whatever. We're just happy we don't have to stay in that Sheraton again. So, what does the duo of Hiltons have to offer? First off, they're in a striking new building with an odd name the "Squaire." It's connected to the airport via walkways, but it's got far more going for it than that; this is a mega center with restaurants, shops, landscaped atriums andthe real clinchera
