Roomers Hotel, Frankfurt

Many of the hotels in Frankfurt are designed to suit corporate travellers and finding accommodation which caters for holidaymakers can be tricky. Hoteliers Micky Rosen and Alex Urseanu are changing all that with their design-led, luxurious properties. Roomers Hotel is a seductive and stylish example which opened in central Frankfurt in 2009.

The building isn’t much to look at – a converted office block, the exterior doesn’t aim to impress, but swing open the heavy entrance door and you discover a dark and mysterious room with fire blazing, plush sofas, veiled windows and gothic artworks. On the ground floor guests can enjoy a variety of facilities including a casual restaurant and fashionable bar, ideal for an aperitif or late night cocktail.

Our Superior room was number 505, located upstairs among the other 115 rooms. It was petite but decorated immaculately with thick expensive materials and attractive furniture. The luxurious bouncy bed had a cushioned satin headboard, and super soft feathered duvets and pillows that sink around your head. The desk was equipped with glossy magazines, chocolates and fruit, and nearby a smart armchair invited slumping into after a day of sight-seeing and shopping. The moody lighting gave the room a cosy feeling but made it quite difficult to see oneself in the mirror at night, so make-up application was tricky. The bathroom was decked completely in black granite. There was a huge power shower with plenty of space to move about, but sadly no bath. Toiletries were from Eau des Minimes, from Provence, and had a lovely citrus fragrance.

Spa and fitness fans will be pleased to discover the heavenly glass-roofed spa, a lovely place to indulge while admiring the view of the city skyline. Here we experienced the wide range of facilities; glass bead-filled relaxation tubs, Medyjet electronic massage beds, dry sauna and Jacuzzi pool. All guests are welcome in the spa and it really is an unmissable feature at Roomers, I recommend spending an hour here before dressing up for supper.

After a peaceful sleep we went in search of a morning meal. Breakfast is served in the large dining room but we chose to eat on the patio outside where we could enjoy the summer weather. Everything you could desire was on offer, international and continental treats to devour. We sampled the croissants and coffee, returning to the buffet for a cheese and smoked salmon second course!

Roomers is a glamorous base for style-conscious, savvy travellers. With everything you need on site and a clued up concierge at your service, you can have the best of both worlds, hunting down the coolest city hang-outs and returning to the lavish hotel to relax and replenish.
