Meliá Hotels International has announced the opening of the Meliá Frankfurt City Hotel. This is one of the most highly anticipated hotels of the year, and is located in the new One Forty West tower, the first hybrid tower, which combines luxury apartments and high-class hotel services, that rises 140 metres above the new, central Senckenberg Quartier, with a prime location between the popular districts of Westend and Bockenheim.

The Spanish hotel company has thus inaugurated its fourth hotel in the city and the first for its Meliá Hotels & Resorts brand, the most international brand operated by the company with more than 120 hotels around the world, renowned for the Spanish warmth and hospitality impregnated in every detail and for a dedicated service focused on guest well-being.

The building was designed by Cyrus Moser Architects and is a striking glass skyscraper with balconies that wind their way upwards to give it its unique silhouette in the Frankfurt skyline. It has been built in the space formerly occupied by the famous "Afe Tower", which belonged to the University of Frankfurt and was demolished in 2014.

The 431-room hotel occupies floors 1 to 23 of the building and all of its rooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows that provide breath-taking views over the city skyline and the Taunus Mountains on the horizon. Most of them also have private balconies. With a stylish and minimalist design, the rooms feature a flat-screen TV, minibar, safe, high-speed Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.
