Hyatt Hotels has announced the opening of Kennedy 89, a design-forward, full-service hotel in Frankfurt’s vibrant Sachsenhausen district and the latest addition to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt brand in Germany. The hotel introduces a sophisticated new interpretation of luxury in one of Frankfurt’s most culturally rich neighborhoods.
In developing Kennedy 89, the project team and design partners approached the hotel’s creation with a balance of respect and imagination, drawing inspiration from the cultural resonance of a moment in time. Design elements allow history to influence its character while shaping an experience designed for the modern traveler.
John F. Kennedy’s 1963 visit to Frankfurt inspired the project teams to create a hotel that carries forward the optimism and cultural energy of that moment, not by recreating the 1960s, but by capturing its spirit. This is seen in the warm mid-century cues, the skyline-facing balconies, and the cocktail menu that nods to Kennedy’s favorite daiquiri. The mood is less about nostalgia and more about connection: a place where guests feel part of Frankfurt’s conversation rather than observers of its past.
Situated in the heart of Frankfurt’s vibrant Sachsenhauen district, Kennedy 89—Hyatt’s first full-service hotel in the city, is perfectly positioned to inspire guests to explore the city’s creative spirit. Surrounded by art galleries, live music venues, and classic apple wine taverns nestled within historic streets, the hotel offers a connection to the city’s cultural pulse. Guests can easily walk to the Main River promenade, the Städel Museum and the Liebieghaus, or explore the lively atmosphere along Schweizer Strasse. Frankfurt’s city center and major transport links, including Frankfurt International Airport, are only a short 10–15-minute journey away.
Influenced by the sophistication of the 1960s, Kennedy 89 features 180 rooms, including 69 suites, the largest amount of suites offered in the city. Each space blends comfort and contemporary luxury, offering views of the Frankfurt skyline and cityscape from their private balconies. All rooms and suites also include kitchens, bringing residential ease to the experience.
Eighty Nine Restaurant & Bar brings Levantine cuisine and flavors together with a touch of Frankfurt and serves dishes designed to be shared. Communal dining forms the heartbeat of the culinary experience here.
KaSa Lounge & Bar combines modern style with classic charm, serving timeless comfort dishes alongside cocktails in a space inspired by the late John F. Kennedy. From July 2026, Jack’s Rooftop Bar will provide sweeping skyline views from a serene green oasis above the city.
The hotel’s 24-hour fitness studio allows guests to exercise on their own schedule. Equipped with state-of-the-art machines and designed for both performance and relaxation, it supports every fitness preference from cardio and strength training to yoga and stretching. Peloton bikes will also be incorporated in the near future, further enhancing the studio’s offering.
The hotel offers versatile spaces for meetings and events, seamlessly blending modern design with advanced technology. Four flexible meeting rooms provide options for intimate or larger gatherings, with the ability to combine two rooms for an expanded space. Integrated audiovisual technology ensures effortless connectivity across all venues, creating an environment where business and creativity come together.
Benjamin Blackman, developer and operator of SIC Hospitality GmbH, said: “This is the culmination of a 10-year vision to create the pre-eminent hotel in Frankfurt, and to rejuvenate the city with an alternative vision of contemporary luxury for Europe’s financial capital. I am proud of the result of my decade-long quest. SIC Hospitality has an expanding presence in Germany, with further projects to be announced soon.”
