Internationally experienced hotelier Stefan Frank to lead Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof
A familiar face with
an additional new responsibility: Stefan Frank, who as Senior Director
Operations is already in charge of Deutsche Hospitality's Rhine-Main/Belgium
cluster of 13 hotels, will also have direct responsibility for the flagship
hotel of the brand family as of January 01, 2023. Previously, Stefan Frank had
led the Steigenberger Airport Hotel in Frankfurt am Main as General Manager
until April 2021.
Josef Dolp, COO
Deutsche Hospitality: "For us, Stefan is the perfect leader for the
Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof. He combines international management
experience, industry knowledge and a great understanding of luxury hotel
business in his person. His professional background and multicultural
understanding will be important in the further development of the hotel."
Stefan Frank:
"Managing a hotel like the Steigenberger Icon Frankfurter Hof fills me
with great joy and also respect. The 'Frankfurter Hof' is not only a luxury
hotel in Frankfurt, but also a benchmark of the international hotel
industry."
Stefan began his
professional career in finance at InterContinental Hotels in Hamburg and
Frankfurt as well as at the Forum Hotel Hamburg. In 2003, he oversaw the
opening of the InterContinental Cologne as Deputy Director before moving to
InterContinental Frankfurt as Resident Manager. During the 2012 Summer Olympics
in London, Stefan was part of the management team for the entire Olympic
Village with 7,000 athletes and support staff. Back in the international hotel
industry, he took over General Manager positions of IGH's luxury brand at
Intercontinental Hotels in Moscow, Sofia, Kiev and Bucharest.
The Steigenberger
Icon Frankfurter Hof opened in 1876 and is in the heart of Frankfurt's banking
district and historic Old Town. The sightseeing hotspots Maintower, Römer and
St. Paul's Church are just steps away. The iconic hotel has 261 guest rooms and
42 suites, as well as a newly designed event space that is one of the most
exclusive in the city. Furthermore, the renowned restaurant Oscar's and the
famous Autorenbar are part of the hotel's portfolio.
