Wednesday, 04 Feb, 2026 0

With a one-year delay, Indian Hotels Company (IHCL), India’s largest hospitality company, will open its first property in Continental Europe with the soon-to-open Taj Hotel Hessischer Hof in Frankfurt in Germany.

Frankfurt’s landmark hotel, after extensive renovations will join the illustrious list of iconic Taj hotels around the world. Signed under an operating lease arrangement, the hotel is due to reopen in March 2026

When signing the agreement back to 2023,  Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, IHCL said, “This is a milestone in IHCL’s journey as we expand our footprint in key international gateway cities. Frankfurt, a vibrant metropolis is one of Europe’s most dynamic destinations. We are very proud to gain a foothold in such an iconic structure and to be able to reopen it with new splendor.”

The hotel was built in 1952 on a former city palace site, which was owned by the Landgraves of Hessen. They operated the prestigious property as a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. The hotel closed its doors following the Covid crisis in 2020.
The 134-room Taj Hotel Hessischer Hof is centrally located in close proximity to the Frankfurt trade fair grounds (Frankfurt Messe) – one of the largest conventions and meeting spaces in Germany.
As part of extensive refurbishment, the new design will feature modern accents while at the same time preserving the architectural integrity of the historical structure.
After making its mark in London, Cape Town and Dubai, Bombay Brasserie, the restaurant famed for its eclectic Bombay and Indian cuisine, will enter Frankfurt. The Chambers, India’s first exclusive business club will have a new outpost at Taj Hotel Hessischer Hof. Guests can relax at the legendary Jimmy’s Bar with its fabled character. Its elegant banqueting spaces are perfect for business meetings and its recreational facilities include a spa, fitness area and a winter garden.
Frankfurt, Germany’s financial capital is a global hub for commerce, culture, education and tourism. It is the site of many global and European corporate headquarters. The Taj Hessischer Hof will then revive a classic German icon, blending aristocratic European elegance with Indian grandeur and playfulness.
