Radisson SAS Hotel

A blue disc extending into the heavens

With its sensational architecture, the four-star Radisson SAS hotel has become a new landmark of the financial metropolis and exhibition city that is today’s Frankfurt. The gigantic disc structure in discrete blue between which the glass cubes of the structure are sandwiched can be viewed from miles away. The hotel building with its 19 floors reaches 87 metres into the sky. Costing 110 million and covering an area of 37,500 square metres, it offers a total of 428 luxury class rooms.

Prominent Features


Visionary hotel design

"Our objective was to develop a revolutionary hotel that could both offer its guests a real experience during their stay and make a contribution to Frankfurt’s skyline," emphasises London-based star architect John Seifert who bore overall responsibility for the project. The extravagance of the exterior is matched by the luxury of the interior: Matteo Thun of Milan and Adam D. Tihany from New York gave the rooms—each with its own glass wall— and also the restaurants and conference areas a truly exclusive look. The lobby bar’s focal point is a free-hanging glass wine tower that houses 1,500 bottles of wine. The hotel’s many highlights include an infinity pool on the 18th floor offering breath-taking panoramic views. Installed in the main entrance, a DORMA KTV revolving door controls the coming and going of the hotel guests, protects against draughts and helps to cut heating costs. In the 1,000 square metre conference zone and in the hotel’s ballroom, soundinsulating DORMA Hüppe Variflex Automatic operable partitions ensure maximum flexibility in space configuration and utilisation. It’s a system that fits perfectly with the aesthetics of Frankfurt’s new landmark.
