Villa Kennedy

Located on the River Main's leafy banks, Villa Kennedy is an elegant luxury hotel in the heart of cosmopolitan Frankfurt. Understated and glamorous, it’s long been the retreat of choice for families, the great and good of the city’s international business scene, and royalty from Hollywood to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Built-in 1901 to house a banking family, Villa Kennedy was carefully updated and opened as a hotel in 2006 with new wings that formed a central courtyard garden, unique in Frankfurt. Behind the historic sandstone facade, you’ll find contemporary yet understated decor with neutral and beige tones.

Guestrooms are some of the city’s most spacious (ranging from 377 to more than 3,500 square feet), and many offer views over the central garden. The Villa Spa offers four levels of revitalization, and the Gusto restaurant serves excellent Italian fare. Stop by JFK Bar, where they can mix just about any drink you might imagine. During your stay, sip cocktails in the shade of the towering oak tree in the majestic Villa Garden, looking up at the turreted lavender-grey rooftops. Indulge your senses at the sumptuous Villa Spa, or dine at the award-winning Gusto Restaurant, helmed by Michelin-starred chef Fulvio Pierangelini.

Explore the chateau-like surroundings during your stay, soothing your senses in the tranquil spa, enjoying cocktails in the peaceful Villa Garden, or listening to live music in the sophisticated JFK Bar.

The Room & Suites - Encircling the luxurious Villa Garden, the 127 rooms and 36 luxury suites at Villa Kennedy epitomize relaxed glamour. Each individually designed by Olga Polizzi and Martin Brudnizki, they effortlessly bestow a sense of serenity through nature-inspired color palettes, ranging from sea glass and hydrangea to moss and wheat, chic furnishings, and sumptuously comfortable fabrics.

Dining - GUSTO - Full of fun and flavor, the Gusto restaurant showcases Fulvio Pierangelini's flair. The dishes, sophisticated in their simplicity, pair the freshest local ingredients with authentic Italian recipes. Enjoy Fulvio’s Spaghetti al Pomodoro, Ravioli 'Gruene Soße' or fish of the day cooked on a Himalayan Salt Stone. The Mediterranean flair of the Gusto restaurant, paired with Italian art, creates an exceptional ambiance that invites you to stay.

JFK BAR - From gleaming gold and mirrored accents to splashes of jewel-bright velvets in shades of sapphire, emerald, and ruby, the JFK Bar is a romantic, glamorous place to see and be seen. Located just off the lush Villa Garden, the intimate bar has long played host to Frankfurt’s visiting and local leading lights. Channeling the Kennedy era's vintage sophistication, live music is performed several nights a week, accompanied softly by the clinking of ice and the anticipatory rattle of the cocktail shaker. Indulge in one of the JFK Bar’s classic or bespoke libations, courtesy of the master bartenders, who are on hand to pour you the perfect drink, and spend a night under the stately gaze of JFK and Jackie O.
