The Property — Art-Hotel Robert Mayer
The Art-Hotel Robert Mayer sits in a quiet residential street off Frankfurt's central Bahnhofsviertel, blending faded belle-époque charm with a gallery owner’s eye. The lobby feels like a well-kept private library: high ceilings, original stucco, curated prints on the walls and a genuine welcome at the desk. It suits the traveller who wants a calm base near the station without chain-hotel anonymity, and values good service over frills.
Chronicles of Frankfurt am Main
Frankfurt began as a Frankish ford across the Main in the 8th century, grew into a free imperial city and, by the 19th century, became Germany’s banking capital. Its medieval Altstadt was largely destroyed by Allied bombing in 1944, then rebuilt in a mix of pragmatic modernist blocks and, recently, painstakingly reconstructed half-timbered houses around the Römer. Today, the skyline is a dense cluster of glass towers – home to the European Central Bank – while the city sustains a serious arts scene, a major book fair and one of Europe’s busiest airports.
Best Time to Visit
Full Frankfurt am Main guide →Best months
May, June, September: mild temperatures (15–25°C), long daylight hours, and the city’s many outdoor beer gardens and riverbank bars are in full swing without July-August heat.
Peak / festival surge
July and August are the busiest tourist months; August brings the Mainfest riverside fair. Hotel prices jump by 30-50%. June's Museumsuferfest (late August in some years) also spikes demand. Avoid late September if the IAA auto show is on – hotels triple their rates.
Budget shoulder season
Late September to October offers crisp weather, fewer travellers and lower room rates; November can be damp but deeply discounted. Easter week is unexpectedly quiet and affordable in Frankfurt proper.
Weather & packing
Frankfurt’s climate is continental enough to produce sudden thunderstorms even in June, followed by blue skies within the hour. Pack a light waterproof jacket and a city-crossing umbrella you’re not precious about.
Live City Briefing — Frankfurt am Main
- S-Bahn line S8/S9 between Frankfurt Airport and Hauptbahnhof is partially suspended on weekends through July 2026 for track work; check replacement bus services – allow 20 extra minutes to the hotel.
- The new 'Kulturcampus' district on Bockenheimer Landstraße opens its first public green spaces and a temporary arts pavilion this summer, a 15-minute walk from the hotel.
- Museumsuferfest is confirmed for 28–30 August 2026, not during your stay, but the associated 10pm noise curfew on the riverbank cultural events may shift programming for the week before.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Art-Hotel Robert Mayer, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request rooms on the first floor (1st) for a more central location and easier access to the lift. The lift serves all three floors, but the first floor is closest to the main entrance and amenities.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the third floor (3rd) if you're sensitive to noise, as the lift is located on this floor and may cause some disturbance, especially if you're a light sleeper.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address on Robert-Mayer-Straße doesn't offer any notable views, as it's a side street in the city. However, you might catch a glimpse of the surrounding buildings and the Frankfurt skyline from the higher floors.
Quietest floors
The first floor (1st) and second floor (2nd) are likely to be the quietest, as they are away from the lift and service entrance.
🔊 Noise notes
Be aware that the hotel is located on a side street, but the nearby Friedberger Anlage is a busy road with moderate traffic noise. You may also hear some noise from the lift, especially if you're on the third floor.
Insider tips
Take advantage of the free basic WiFi, which should suffice for general browsing and checking emails. If you need faster speeds, consider upgrading to the premium tier for €5/day. If you're planning to explore the city, take note of the nearby Parkhaus Konstablerwache car park (Grüneburgweg 1) for parking and EV charging options. It's a 5-minute walk away and costs €22 per 24 hours.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Your arrival at Art-Hotel Robert Mayer
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🧭 First things nearby: cash · Nearest — 375 m · ~5 min walk — pharmacy · Leipziger Apotheke — 350 m · ~4 min walk
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Find train tickets →Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, bus platform B1 outside arrivals) → Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (main station, then walk 10 mins to hotel)
💡 Direct to central station, then cross Kaiserstrasse and walk east 5 mins – hotel is behind the station. Slightly pricier than S-Bahn, but runs later if train schedule ends.
Frankfurt Airport (all terminals, taxi rank outside arrivals) → Le Méridien Parkhotel Frankfurt (Am Kaiserplatz 1)
💡 Use the free taxi line directly outside Terminal 1 arrivals. Flat-rate to centre is ~35€; add 5€ for luggage. Cash or card accepted.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, regional train station) → Hauptwache station (5-min walk to hotel)
💡 Buy a single-ticket RMV 5 tariff zones (4.90€). Hotel is near Hauptwache exit B – walk east along Rossmarkt to Am Hauptbahnhof road.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1, ground level tram stop) → Hauptwache stop (via Festhalle/Messe stop)
💡 Less crowded than S-Bahn. Alight at Hauptwache and walk 5 mins through Goetheplatz. Same RMV ticket as S-Bahn, but slower – better if you have no luggage.
Frankfurt Airport (Bus Terminal, outside Terminal 1) → Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
💡 The bus stop is just outside Terminal 1, but again, walking takes 5–7 minutes through a heated corridor. Only use this if you physically can't walk with suitcases — otherwise it's unnecessary faff.
Willy-Brandt-Platz (10-min walk from Hauptwache) → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (stop: Freßgass/Goetheplatz)
💡 Trams are great for a short hop from the city centre. Use the RMV app for live departures. Tickets are valid for any route within the inner district for 1 hour. A day pass for €6.50 saves money if you’ll use it more than twice.
Frankfurt Südbahnhof (south side, platform A) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (stop: Kennedyallee)
💡 This is handy if you're coming from the south side of the city (S-Bahn lines S1, S2, S8, S9 stop at Südbahnhof). Exit bus at Kennedyallee stop – it's right across the street from the hotel. No need to buy a ticket in advance; pay contactless on board (RMV app also works).
Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (U-Bahn station, lower level) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (via Alte Oper station, then 5-min walk)
💡 No direct U-Bahn to Kennedyallee – get off at Alte Oper (U6/U7) or Eschenheimer Tor (U1/U2/U3/U8) and walk east for 5-7 mins along Bockenheimer Landstrasse or Kennedyallee. Or take U4/U5 to Willy-Brandt-Platz and hop on tram 16/17 for one stop to Kennedyallee (but tram tickets are same price).
Frankfurt Hauptwache (bus stop A) or Konstablerwache → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (stop: Westin Grand/Taunusanlage)
💡 Only useful if you’re out very late and the S-Bahn has stopped. Buy a ticket from the driver (cash or card). The hotel is a 2-min walk from the stop. Check RMV.de for real-time changes.
Frankfurt Airport (Arrivals B/C) → Steigenberger Airport Hotel Frankfurt
💡 If you're just crossing to the hotel, walk. The Steigenberger is directly connected to Terminal 1 via a covered walkway — taxis are wasted on that short hop unless you have heavy luggage. For longer trips, insist on metered fare.
Frankfurt Airport (FRA) → The Westin Grand Frankfurt (Konrad-Adenauer-Str. 7)
💡 Queue at the official taxi rank outside Arrivals B. Avoid touts inside who overcharge. Pay by card is fine, but confirm before starting the ride.
Frankfurt Airport (Terminal 1 exit B or C) → Kennedy 89 - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt (Kennedyallee 89)
💡 Use the official taxi rank outside Terminal 1, Arrivals B or C – ignore any touts inside. Ask for a fixed price if traffic is heavy; otherwise, meter is fine. For return, book via Taxi Frankfurt app or call 069-545045 at least 15 mins ahead.
