Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 18 March 2026: For discerning GCC families seeking an escape that combines cultural discovery with serene luxury, The Florentin by Althoff Collection offers a refined European setting where time slows and every detail is carefully considered. Nestled in Frankfurt’s leafy Sachsenhausen district, the hotel invites guests to enjoy the city in comfort and privacy, with the historic villa providing generous space for families to gather and reconnect. In a season defined by togetherness and reflection, The Florentin is more than a destination; it is an urban sanctuary where cherished moments are celebrated amid heritage, contemporary elegance and thoughtful cuisine, allowing families to experience Europe at a pace that honours time together.
A Historic Villa Reimagined
The property centres around a garden courtyard, with warm stone, natural wood and soft lighting creating a calm and welcoming environment.
The Florentin offers a genuine sense of space, privacy and ease. The hotel features 147 rooms and suites, including 49 suites, many of which are generously proportioned and thoughtfully laid out to accommodate family stays.
Set in the restored 1901 villa formerly known as Villa Kennedy and its thoughtfully extended wings, The Florentin is anchored by the historic villa, originally built as the private residence of Eduard Beit von Speyer and designed as both a home and a place of hospitality.
Today, the Villa forms the architectural and emotional heart of the hotel, offering an exclusive home-from-home experience where heritage and contemporary living coexist. It may be reserved in its entirety as a private residence, including the Signature Suites, Royal Suite, salons, private kitchen and winter garden, or enjoyed suite by suite.
Distinct yet seamlessly connected to the wider hotel, the Villa combines the generosity of a private home with the discretion and service of a luxury hotel, creating a setting where past and present meet with natural ease.
The hotel rooms are designed with clarity and in mind, reflecting Asian minimalism in an elegant and timeless expression. The interiors are tranquil and understated, offering families space to gather as well as quiet corners for rest. Larger suite categories, including loft-style suites, provide separate living areas and added privacy, ensuring that parents and children can share the stay experience together while enjoying the comfort of their own space.
Thoughtful Dining for Shared Moments
The Florentin approaches food and drink with the same care devoted to its architecture and service. Dining here is an integral part of the stay, thoughtfully conceived, carefully executed and designed to bring guests together in settings that are both refined and welcoming.
Dining at the dune offers a flexible and refined experience. The restaurant unites two culinary approaches: a precise, signature menu for an elegant, creative journey, and a sharing-style selection for convivial, approachable evenings. Seasonal, thoughtful, and crafted with integrity, each dish highlights the essence of its ingredients, while the space, guided by attentive hospitality, feels intimate or lively as needed. The dune is a place of presence and personality, where heritage and contemporary living come together in lasting moments.
For a family-friendly dining experience, The Garden combines Mediterranean lightness with regional influences, offering a contemporary take on the classic hotel restaurant. Bright and tranquil during the day, it is perfect for breakfast, a focused business lunch, or a leisurely weekend meal. In the evening, the space opens up for sharing and lingering, with modern European dishes designed for convivial gatherings.
At The Florentin, evenings can be spent at The Florentin Bar, the cosmopolitan heart of the hotel, where classic drinks and expert bartending create a vibrant urban atmosphere. During the day, the space is clean and understated, serving select classics, while in the evening it becomes a lively meeting place with refined finger food. For a more contemplative experience, The Cigar Lounge offers exceptional drinks in a distinctive interior, inviting guests to unwind in a quieter, mindful setting.
Wellness and Reflection in Moments of Stillness and Renewal
Wellness forms an integral part of the experience. The Spa, with its indoor pool, tranquil treatment rooms and garden views, offers a space to restore and reconnect after days of discovery, allowing both parents and children to unwind in calm surroundings.
Stepping Into the Story of the City and Discovering Frankfurt and Beyond
Beyond the hotel’s gates, Frankfurt unfolds with quiet charm. Along the River Main, tree-lined promenades invite leisurely walks and gentle cycling, while the Museumsufer offers a rich tapestry of art and history set against the water. On Goethestraße, elegant boutiques lend themselves to an afternoon of refined shopping, and the historic Römerberg square captures the romance of Germany’s architectural past. A short drive away, the vineyards of the Rheingau stretch across rolling hills, perfect for a scenic family escape beyond the city skyline.
