This is by far the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in, I love history and the connection to the British Royals via the Empress Frederick, Queen Victoria's eldest daughter makes it extra special. Royal visitors include Queen Victoria, Edward VII, the last Kaiser, Tsar Nicholas II and Alexandra, other queens etc. We use this as a "rest & relax" place for the last few days of vacation before the long flight home. Such a special place, five star service from check-in to check-out. We had the Grand Castle Balcony room on top of the five story turret on the north side, private spiral stairs, no rooms next door, nice size room with lots of light from three sides with views of Frankfurt and a huge balcony with 180 views of the Taunus Mtns, table and chairs for breakfast, reading or coffee. Great view looking down on the roof and other turrets, able to see details like the copper finials, slate tiles, chimney pots etc. as well as a great view of the porte cochere and other hidden details. Luxury bed, down pillows, robes & slippers, towel warmer, plenty of hanging space, drawers, shelves and a writing desk. Small fridge with gratis soft drinks, also a place to chill your own. Requests were taken care of in minutes, anything you need they will provide. Fabulous interiors with museum quality furniture, clocks, art, books etc. You can spend a whole day admiring the exquisite collections. Only negatives were the restaurant was closed for two nights, you could get breakfast but only dinner options were the bar menu which was limited, the new Italian restaurant falls short of the menus and food of our last visit, wish they offered more traditional options. Short walk to Kronberg Castle and town center with 15th century and older buildings. The grounds are a delight with exotic trees artfully planted, some enormous Sequoias and Redwoods, weeping forms etc., the rose garden and other plantings are worth exploring. You can explore outbuildings like the old stables, Hoffmarshalls house, bier-garten and others. Treat yourself to a luxury stay at this five star hotel, even if only three nights, you won't be disappointed.…
