The JW Marriott hotel brand has debuted in Germany with the opening of JW Marriott Hotel Frankfurt.

Frankfurt is a city of great diversity. Banks and big business, trade shows and shopping on the one side, culture, coziness and traditions on the other. One thing is certain: The city’s main metropolis has something for everyone.

The Steigenberger Frankfurter Hof’s Mercedes glides around Willy Brandt Platz and I gaze up at the six-floor building’s Ehrenhof terrace and stone gargoyles. At Bethmannstrasse, the door is opened by an ambassador type in a full morning suit and top hat. I tread around a gold floor plaque marked 1876, the hotel’s birth year, and ascend eight red-carpet steps to the lobby. Room keys now have a floral pattern, replicated on the Bucherer-sponsored folder around them.

Qatar Airways’ passengers will be able to access a handful of new destinations in German via a codeshare partnership that has been struck with with Deutsche Bahn.

United Airlines has revealed it will operate its newest Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner on six transatlantic routes from its New York/Newark hub, beginning in March 2019.
