Ever wish you could drop everything and get away for a night?!!! With the girls??!!! And we’re not talking fly to Vegas, we’re talking about a nice little staycation right here in Frankfurt.  Intrigued?

Let’s face it the world has literally gone tits up and well, not as many people are keen to fly half way across the world for a nice getaway.  I mean it sounds fabulous but in our current COVID climate it’s safer to stay put.  But this doesn’t mean staying put has to be boring. You’ll be surprised at how much fun a staycation can be. We know, we’ve been putting it to the test.

I live in in Bornheim but closer to the Ostend side and every time I would head to Ostend Straße U-bahn station I was always distracted by a cool and trendy black building on Hanauer Landstraße, The Suite Hotel. In fact, I mentioned this building to my husband on several occasions.  I definitely needed to check it out!

So as part of our staycation series we checked in, to check out The Suite Hotel ourselves.

The Suite Fabric Hotel

The Suite Fabric is the sister hotel of the famous The Suite Garden, which is located more centrally in the Innenstadt. The Suite Fabric is designed and furnished by Laura Heil and Hannah Chbib, who have styled a perfect mixture of modern urbanity and culture diversity.  Also, The Suite Fabric is not your average hotel. It’s designed so that you can stay as long as you need too. So, whether you’re just looking for a quick getaway with the girls (like Janice and I did) or need a proper apartment for the family for a long stay they have you covered.

With a newly renovated lobby area, you find yourself questioning whether or not you’re still in Frankfurt.  In fact, it screams all sorts of Berlin with bright bold interiors, cool music and excellent coffee (brought to you by none other than Bohnerie). Also, the lobby is now open to non-guests, so you can pop in for a quick coffee or to catch up on a spot work.

THE ROOMS

In each room at The Suite Fabric you’ll find their signature black canopy bed.  The bed was a labour of love and specifically designed and created by Laura and Hannah themselves for the hotel.

Each room, big or small has a self-service kitchen, a beautiful spacious bathroom and a main living room area. Some are designed more like a studio space, whilst others have more of an apartment feel with separate closed off bedrooms. Either way they are all designed to perfection, are spacious, and have a very nice feel to them.

OUR STAY

Janice and I decided to take a room in the main building upstairs, room XIII. We absolutely loved the lighting, the open space and it just had a really good vibe. We had planned on taking some photos, working on our story and then hitting the town, but well, we never left the building!!! We were having so much fun just hanging out in the lovely space, so we stayed. We drank wine, ate snacks we had bought earlier in the day, took photos and literally laughed and laughed and laughed. If there were any complaints from the neighbouring guests it would have been because we were laughing too much!!! That’s a pretty good compliment no??!!!!

We highly recommend getting your girlfriends together and heading to The Suite Fabric. It’s the perfect spot for a good ole girly night!!!!!
