Your guide to the best luxury hotel in Königstein im Taunus
Falkenstein Grand Königstein · FalkensteinThat is the whole appeal of the address. You are close enough to Frankfurt for a morning meeting and far enough away to hear nothing but trees in the evening. For this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Königstein and chose one: the Falkenstein Grand, a 5-star hotel in the Autograph Collection.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
The 5-star hotel above Frankfurt – who it suits
A night at the Falkenstein Grand Königstein costs €170. That includes a buffet breakfast for two, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability, early check-in and late check-out subject to availability, a welcome gift and Wi-Fi. You keep earning Marriott Bonvoy points and status benefits as usual.
Why we recommend it: for €170 you get a grand hotel from 1909 – the building was opened by Kaiser Wilhelm II, and until 1976 it was a sanatorium. It has been a hotel again since 1999, today with 112 rooms and apartments. Add an outdoor pool of eight by fifteen metres, heated year-round to around 28 degrees – and from it you look at the Frankfurt skyline.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Three things that belong before you book.
The benefits apply from the first night. A single night brings you the full package – for a hotel many people use as a stop on the way to or from Frankfurt, that is the decisive point.
Breakfast is a buffet, not a set plate, and it covers two people. At this price, that is worth noting.
The skyline is a question of category. Not every room faces Frankfurt – some look into the garden, some over the grounds. If you want the skyline, tell our travel advisors when you enquire.
On size: if the square metres matter to you, ask – our travel advisors have the measurements.
Where to stay in Königstein: Falkenstein and the road to Frankfurt
The Falkenstein Grand stands in the Falkenstein quarter, above the centre of Königstein, at the edge of the forest.
Our recommendation for anyone who wants to know what they are getting into: this is not a town-centre location. It is a hillside above the Rhine-Main region, and that is exactly why people come.
Frankfurt is about twenty kilometres away – a good half hour by car, depending on the time of day. Frankfurt Airport is roughly twenty-five kilometres south, which also makes this address usable for a long layover.
The Taunus starts at the door. The ruins of Falkenstein Castle are a few minutes away, the Grosser Feldberg, the highest point of the range, about ten kilometres north-west. If you want to walk, you do not have to drive anywhere first.
Rooms and suites: sixteen categories, ten of them suites
The hotel offers sixteen categories, and ten of them are suites. That is a striking ratio: in most hotels this size suites are the exception, here they are the majority of the types.
The rooms are Classic, Superior and Deluxe, several of them with a balcony. The suites run from the Taunus Suite and the Classic Suite up to the penthouse suites on the top floor – among them one with a fireplace and one that can be combined.
And then the view, which here is the real decision: some categories carry Skyline View – meaning the Frankfurt skyline, which from this height stands on the horizon. Others look into the garden or over the grounds.
Our travel advisors suggest starting with the Deluxe Room – and if the skyline is the reason for your trip, say so early.
What a night at the luxury hotel in Königstein im Taunus costs
A night at the luxury hotel in Königstein im Taunus costs €170. The suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
When it is at its best: May to June and October. In early summer the Taunus is green and not yet busy; in October the forest turns – and the heated outdoor pool makes both months usable.
When it is busiest: summer weekends and around the big Frankfurt trade fairs. When a fair is on, the whole surrounding region is booked out – that is when booking early pays.
When it is quietest: January to March. The forest is bare, the hotel is empty, and the pool steams in the frost.
How long to stay: two nights. One for Frankfurt, one for the Taunus – and an afternoon at the pool in between.
On the minimum stay: there is none. A single night brings you the full package, in February exactly as in October.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
Skyline, forest and exclusive services at the 5-star hotel
Königstein is not a destination for people looking for a city centre. It is one for people who want to see Frankfurt without living in it.
Personal luxury travel adviceOur travel advisors personally accompany your booking – 365 days a year, from the first offer to late check-out. Reach the suitespot VIP service via email or WhatsApp.Phone: +49 30 81452346 · hotel@suitespot.comThe first thing about this address is the height. The Taunus rises behind the town, and the Frankfurt towers stand on the horizon as a silhouette – close enough to recognise, far enough for quiet. The outdoor pool is oriented at exactly that.
The second is the history. The 1909 building was a sanatorium, a military hospital and a clinic before it became a hotel again in 1999. You can see it, and that is why it does not feel like a new build on the edge of town.
The third is the forest. The ruins of Falkenstein Castle are a few minutes away, the Grosser Feldberg about ten kilometres further. Between them lies the densest network of walking trails in the Rhine-Main region.
What our travel advisors arrange here most often is the category facing the skyline – and the late check-out, which on a Sunday in the Taunus is worth more than elsewhere.
