Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen is much more than just the district famous for its apple wine culture. When you stay at the Hotel Maingau, you are right in the heart of the action and can discover exciting corners, culinary highlights and green oases on foot. We have put together five insider tips to make your stay unforgettable.
Tradition and modernity in the apple wine district
Sachsenhausen is famous for its apple wine bars. Between rustic restaurants and modern bars, you can experience the pure Frankfurt lifestyle. Be sure to try the ‘Ebbelwoi’ at Wagner or Gemaltes Haus – both just a few minutes away from Maingau.
After an evening in the apple wine district, our rich breakfast buffet rounds off the experience.
Art & culture on the Museumsufer
The world-famous Museumsufer begins just a few steps from the Maingau. Whether it’s the Städel Museum, Liebieghaus or Museum Angewandte Kunst – international highlights are lined up side by side here. Perfect for culture fans and a must even on rainy days. Those attending a conference at the Maingau can recharge their cultural batteries right after the business programme.
Walks along the banks of the Main
The Mainuferweg offers relaxation in the middle of the city. Stroll from the Eiserner Steg to the Flößerbrücke, enjoy the skyline view and take a break in one of the small cafés by the water. The atmosphere is unique, especially in the evening when the city lights twinkle. Our rooms offer the ideal retreat afterwards – quiet, comfortable and in the heart of Sachsenhausen.
Culinary diversity beyond apple wine
In addition to Hessian classics, Sachsenhausen also has a surprising international scene. From fine sushi bars to Persian specialities and Italian gourmet restaurants – everything is located around the Maingau Hotel. A tip: make sure to book early, as many insider restaurants are quickly booked up.
Greenery & relaxation in the Swiss Garden
A real insider tip is the Swiss Garden – a small, well-kept park in the middle of Sachsenhausen. Ideal for a short break, jogging or a relaxed picnic. From here, you can also quickly reach the Stadtwald, one of the largest inner-city forest areas in Germany.
