Falkenstein Grand, Autograph Collection

We stayed for 2 nights as a party of 7 to celebrate my parents 50th wedding anniversary. The hotel was exceptional at getting little touches in place before we arrived. They honored our titanium members by upgrading our room and the overall service was wonderful. As a 3 generation travel party my kids loved the zip line in the playground and the pool. My parents found their suite perfect and complimented the breakfast buffet as one of the best. Having never stayed before I was apprehensive about booking for such a major anniversary but the Falkenstein grand delivered a once in a lifetime stay for my family. We will definitely be back. This was the 2nd stop on our cross Europe trip from Brussels to Vienna and my girls where extremely disappointed our return route did not take us back to stay again.

Falkenstein Grand is part of Marriott's autograph collection and tucked away in the Taunus mountains outside Frankfurt. It is about a 30-minute drive from the airport, FRA. The hotel is on the mountain slope in the village of Köningstein. The lobby area is in the main building out of the seven that makes up the hotel, and the other buildings are connected with underground tunnels unless you fancy a walk outside. There is also the bar and restaurant in the main building. The hotel has a full service spa with a nice array of treatments and a good size gym as well as an outdoor heated pool. The rooms are big but modern and the size and decor bring to life the turn of the century when the hotel was built. Both service and food are excellent, and whilst a little of the beaten track, it is well worth a detour for a few days relaxation.

I stayed in the hotel because my company hosted a meeting here. I was here for 6 nights and experienced a lot of what the hotel offered and overall really liked the hotel. My room was located in the main building (building 4) and was large and newly renovated. The weather was very very unseasonably warm the week I was there and there is limited to no air conditioning in the hotel and other facilities. I was told my room didn’t have AC but it was cool and comfortable. Beds and linens were super comfortable. I enjoyed the included breakfast buffet. Something for everyone and very well done. The views from the outside patio was beautiful. Lunch that was offered in the restaurant was also delicious. Our meeting at the hotel was also generally good. None of the meeting rooms in the main hotel building had AC. Our meetings were in the Ascara Spa building and those were newer. Alexandra from the front desk was outstanding. She was gracious about my lack of German and had great recommendations for restaurants and was very kind and helpful. Thanks to the entire staff for a wonderful experience.

Truly a fine hotel with generous hospitality and space. Very friendly and cooperative team members that are willing to extend friendly solutions at even odd hours of the night. Loved my suite and the view of Frankfurt city was breathtaking! Definitely want to visit again for an extended stay.

This is a beautiful, scenic hotel. We stayed in a large suite that had been redone with a kitchenette, bathroom, HUGE living room, office and master bedroom. The restaurant was quite good and everyone who worked there very nice! There is an amazing playground for kids and a beautiful terrace to sit on and watch them. Our room smelled a bit like paint (it truly was brand new) but we aired it out and it was great. The pool and hot tub were fun (although this is definitely a wellness retreat, so be respectful) and the grounds are really beautiful. Two of us did the 3 castles hike from the hotel, but other than that, there isn’t much to easily walk to.
