history
The hotel was built from 1872 to 1876 on the site of the former White Deer by Karl Jonas Mylius and Alfred Friedrich Bluntschli and was directly one of the top addresses in Frankfurt's gastronomy. The first director was J. Fauchère-Schimon.
Albert Steigenberger acquired the hotel in 1940 . Only four years later, the house was destroyed by the aerial bombs of World War II during the air raids on Frankfurt am Main .
The makeshift reopening took place in 1948, initially with 20 beds. Five years later, the house was rebuilt in a simplified form - with a stacked storey instead of the original mansard roof .
The hotel
The hotel has 303 rooms, 261 of which are deluxe and superior. There are also 42 suites. The furniture is based on different styles. There are also 19 meeting and conference rooms with a capacity of up to 600 people. All rooms were renovated by 2000 in order to preserve the charm of the 19th century, but at the same time to meet modern demands. In 2011/2012 another extensive renovation took place, in the course of which a new wellness area of almost 1000 m² was created.
Patrick Bittner has been head chef at Restaurant Français, which has been awarded a Michelin star and 17 points in Gault Millau , since 2000 .
