Although it has diversified downmarket with the Intercity Hotels, it remains best known for its luxury hotels in major German cities.

Blockbuster book-and-movie deals have been concluded over drinks in the hotel's lobby during the Frankfurt Book Fair. Originally acquired by the group in 1940, the hotel was destroyed during the war and rebuilt in classic style. Located in the heart of the financial district, the Frankfurter Hof is close to shopping and transportation.

Steigenberger Parkhotel

This classic luxury hotel at the top of Düsseldorf's famous Königsallee shopping street (called "Kö" by the locals) reflects the luster of Germany's industrial barons in the heart of the Ruhr area. Steel mills have largely given way to "green" technology, but the Kö keeps its cachet of exclusivity. The hotel's high ceilings, luxury fittings and genuine antiques create an ambiance of a bygone era.

Steigenberger Hotel de Saxe

After the reunification of Germany in 1990, Steigenberger began acquiring and building hotels in the former East Germany. Parallel to the reconstruction of Dresden's famed Frauenkirche, the hotel group built a new Hotel de Saxe across the Neumarkt from it to replace the original, which dated back to 1786. Now the Frauenkirche is one of Germany's biggest tourist draws, and the 185-room hotel with classical façade and modern interior enjoys a prime location.
