Checking into the Steigenberger hotel in Bad Homburg is like taking a city break in an upmarket art gallery.
This beautifully appointed hotel, with its art deco décor, is distinguished by a welcoming gallery from the Mapawlo Collection, and the huge paintings which line each floor. If your interests straddle luxury travel and art, this has to be one of the best hotels in Frankfurt to visit.
When we arrived, the Steigenberger hotel reception was dominated by huge, colourful portraits of Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. Elvis looks down from the first floor landing.
German born artist and photographer Mapawlo (aka Markus Pawlowski) specialises in portraits of pop culture icons and fantastical sculptures, imagine Jeff Koons via Warhol if you will, and they certainly enliven the foyer.

All these pieces are available to buy. The Monroe is listed at €29,950, while a strikingly colourful Salvador Dali and monochromatic Mick Jagger are both at €23,450 apiece.
Mapawlo’s sculptures are also a lot of fun. Perspective, which features a cheeky gnome peering through a crack in concrete, has a €4,750 price tag. The striking You Rock It, which is a skull wearing a crown, is priced at €12,450.
Steigenberger hotel Bad Homburg – Rooms and amenities
The Steigenberger features 174 guest rooms and suites. All rooms are equipped with high-quality bedding, and air conditioning. The free Wi-Fi is fast (enough). Room sizes are generous. Our guest room had a huge double bed (which was exceptionally comfortable) and wall-wide floral mural.
The hotel’s amenities include a fitness centre, sauna, and steam room, perfect for unwinding after a day of sightseeing or business meetings.
Another key attraction is the terrace, which offers views of the town and surrounding countryside. This outdoor oasis is the place to enjoy a cup of Joe in the morning or a glass of vino in the evening.
Steigenberger hotel Bad Homburg – restaurant and bar
The hotel features a top-notch restaurant, Ritter’s, that serves international cuisine at night and provides a generous breakfast (cooked, pastries and fruit) first thing. The bar, to the right as you enter, just past the piano, is stylish with deluxe lighting fixtures, plenty of seating and jars of snacks.
