I always tell my friends: if you can find the Sheraton Frankfurt in less than 20 minutes you are lucky! It took me about 45 minutes of wandering around the terminal before I actually found signs to the place. YMMV.

Since I am an SPG Gold I was put on the 5th floor which is the preferred guest floor. The room was actually quite sizable for an airport hotel in Europe, and it had a nice modern flair to it. No view, but then again I was just there for a functional stay, not to enjoy my time in the room.

The hotel really does a good job catering to in-and-out travelers and has a late-night "light dinner" area that is open until 10:30PM downstairs. I grabbed a quick salad before heading to bed. The next morning I ate at the restaurant downstairs (35 euros for the buffet). I was seated right away and the service was very prompt. The buffet options were actually really impressive, so I was quite happy.

Like other airport hotels that seem to have a monopoly on the walk-in/walk-out airport traffic, the Sheraton Frankfurt is pricey (think hotels at O'Hare, Hong Kong and Paris CDG). But if you're company is footing the bill, it's a great place!
