Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport
Hilton Garden Inn Frankfurt Airport is the mid-price hotel in The Squaire, the glass building built over the long-distance station beside Terminal 1: 334 rooms above the ICE platforms, reached from Terminal 1 by covered bridge and moving walkways. It gives the same walk-to-the-gate convenience as its five-star neighbours at a lower rate, which is why it fills up fast during Frankfurt’s trade fairs. The Hilton Frankfurt Airport is in the middle of the same building.
Guest Rooms
The 334 rooms have a king or queen bed or two singles, a work desk with an ergonomic chair, soundproofed windows towards the atrium or the airfield, air conditioning and a bathroom with walk-in shower. Rooms are compact by Hilton standards but well laid out for one night, and the beds and blackout curtains are the reason repeat guests come back before 06:00 departures.
Standard room amenities include:
- Air conditioning
- Soundproofed windows
- Coffee and tea-making facilities
- Work desk with ergonomic chair
- Safe
- Hair dryer
- Iron and ironing board
- Flat-screen TV
- Free Wi-Fi
Breakfast and Dining
The restaurant on the lobby level has a show kitchen and serves a cooked-to-order breakfast in the morning and a menu of international dishes in the evening; the bar next to it keeps evening hours. The Pavilion Pantry beside reception is open 24 hours for snacks, drinks and microwave meals, useful after a late arrival. Breakfast is charged separately on most rates.
Facilities and Services
The fitness centre is open around the clock; there is no pool or sauna, though the neighbouring Hilton’s wellness area is a separate hotel and not shared. Meeting rooms are available on the same floor as the lobby.
Covered parking in The Squaire’s garage is €42 a day with electric-vehicle charging. Pets up to 8 kg are accepted for a €50 fee. Check-in is from 3:00 pm and check-out at 12:00 pm; Digital Key works through the Hilton Honors app. There is no hotel shuttle.
Location and Transportation
The hotel is in The Squaire, Am Flughafen, at the western end of the building above the long-distance station. From Terminal 1 arrivals, follow signs for the long-distance station and The Squaire, cross the covered bridge and take the moving walkways through the building; the hotel is eight to ten minutes from the terminal. The ICE platforms are directly below, with lifts and escalators; the regional S-Bahn station for the city is under Terminal 1. For Terminal 3, the SkyLine leaves from Terminal 1; see our Terminal 3 guide.
Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof is 11 to 15 minutes by S-Bahn and the city centre about 20 minutes by taxi. Rail&Fly and Lufthansa Express Rail tickets are valid from the station below the hotel, as our train station guide explains.
Nearby Alternatives
The Hilton Frankfurt Airport in the same building has the executive lounge, sauna and larger rooms. The Sheraton Frankfurt Airport and Frankfurt Airport Marriott Hotel are nearer the terminal doors on the same covered route. At a similar price one S-Bahn stop away, the Hampton by Hilton Frankfurt Airport in Gateway Gardens includes breakfast.
