Frankfurt’s Creative Quarter Welcomes Kennedy 89, part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

CHICAGO (December 19, 2025) - Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H) today 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.

Inspired by a moment in time, designed for today

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. Rather than recreating the past, the hotel invites the past to fuel the vision of tomorrow. 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 eclectic 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.

Mid-century sophisticated design for the modern traveler

Influenced by the sophistication of the 1960s, Kennedy 89 features 180 elegantly appointed rooms, including 69 suites, the largest amount of suites offered in the city. Each space blends comfort and contemporary luxury, offering breathtaking views of the Frankfurt skyline and cityscape from their private balconies. All rooms and suites also include kitchens, bringing residential ease to the experience.

"The opening of Kennedy 89 marks an important milestone for Hyatt as we continue to grow our luxury portfolio across Europe. As Hyatt's first affiliated hotel in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen district, Kennedy 89 offers guests a new level of choice and flexibility, whether they are visiting for business or leisure," said Michel Morauw, Managing Director North, Hyatt. "Our team is committed to innovation and highly personalized service, Kennedy 89 is designed to deliver an experience that consistently exceeds expectations. Its debut underscores our dedication to creating exceptional, meaningful stays while strengthening Hyatt's presence in one of Germany's most dynamic and culturally rich locations."

Inspired Flavors and Modern Plates

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. The cocktail menu pays homage to his tastes with several interpretations of the daiquiri, his favorite drink, woven throughout.

From July 2026, Jack's Rooftop Bar, will provide sweeping skyline views from a serene green oasis above the city. Perfect for meaningful conversations and memorable moments as the light changes over Frankfurt.

Movement for the Modern Traveler

The 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.

Refined Meetings and Events

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.

"We are thrilled to welcome Kennedy 89 to The Unbound Collection by Hyatt," said Jan-Hendrik Meidinger, General Manager, Kennedy 89. "Kennedy 89 brings a new chapter of luxury to Frankfurt, inspired by the desire to offer our guests a space to be themselves, in which all colleagues work together to create unforgettable memories for everyone involved and where the legacy of the past, fuels the vision of tomorrow."
