ATLANTIC Hotel Frankfurt

Two renowned design studios share responsibility for the interior architecture, working closely together to develop a cohesive design concept. The architecture firm Olufemi Moser took on the conceptualisation and design of the premium public areas, while Brumann Innenraumkonzepte was responsible for designing the 373 rooms and suites, the corridors, and the public fitness and sauna facilities. Commissioned by the Gustav Zech Stiftung, Brumann Innenraumkonzepte also played a pivotal role in the building as a whole, handling the complete execution planning for all zones — both the rooms and the public areas — and serving as the general contractor, overseeing the entire interior fit-out, site supervision and project management. This integrated approach resulted in a highly consistent, economically viable aesthetic that translated the creative visions of both studios into reality.

The guest's journey begins in the western foyer on the ground floor. Here, the Olufemi Moser team employed a contrasting interplay of premium materials in elegant tones, crowned by an eye-catching ceiling light sculpture, transforming the path to the elevators into a captivating entryway. On the second floor, the hotel welcomes its international guests at a reception desk that flows effortlessly into a lounge and deli. The interior designers adopted a classic-modern approach here, with restrained materials, colours and shapes. "Less is more" was the guiding principle, as "the trade fair and Frankfurt are loud enough as it is." Light, mottled grey terrazzo floors, untreated oak, soft upholstered furniture and subtle gold accents create an unpretentious, grounding atmosphere of comfort. This serene aesthetic continues into the third-floor conference rooms, which feature delicate room dividers and elegant lighting. The fine dining restaurant on the fourth floor provides a deliberate contrast: darker tones, fine leather, heavy fabrics and striking stone elements create a substantial, eclectic stage for exceptional culinary experiences, inviting guests to linger a while longer.

On the upper floors, the room and suite designs developed by Brumann Innenraumkonzepte unfold, embracing the concept of an urban retreat tailored to the needs of modern business travellers and digital nomads. Elements of biophilic design were integrated as a deliberate contrast to the building's striking high-rise architecture. Organic shapes, natural materials and a warm, earthy colour palette give the spaces a cosy, residential feel, creating a genuine oasis of calm amidst the dynamic trade fair environment. The design centrepiece of the rooms is an internally illuminated wardrobe made of translucent textured glass, reminiscent of an elegant greenhouse. A round desk allows for a seamless transition between a workspace and an informal meeting table, while the softly contoured headboard wraps around the sleeping area like a protective embrace. Tactile materials and carefully placed light-dark contrasts — such as a television integrated into a black panel — enhance the spatial experience and give the rooms a sense of depth. This design sensitivity is also evident in the corridors, where dramatic dark doorway alcoves and contrasting patterned wallpapers engage in a compelling dialogue with bright walls and warm wood panelling.

The 19th and 20th floors form the crowning finale of the hotel experience. High above the city, Brumann Innenraumkonzepte designed a fitness and sauna area that offers an exclusive space for regeneration. Right next door, Olufemi Moser designed the Skyline Bar, which welcomes guests with breathtaking views over Frankfurt. It is as dark as the night, featuring velvet curtains, a wood-panelled bar with a striking stone top, and expansive, dark-toned wall designs. Sitting at the bar, winding down the evening and counting the city lights is the perfect way to end a long day at the trade fair or in the city.
