Waldo Works Transforms Historic Frankfurt Banking Hall into Bauhaus-Inspired Hotel
London-based architecture studio Waldo Works has completed the transformation of the former Deutsche Bank headquarters into the Kimpton Main Frankfurt hotel.
The hotel, located within the FOUR towers development in the city’s financial district, spans 8,240 square metres and features 155 rooms.
Under the direction of Tom Bartlett, Waldo Works has crafted a contemporary interpretation of Bauhaus principles whilst respecting the site’s institutional heritage.
The design team approached the hotel as an exercise in contrasts, balancing cool, neutral materials like chrome and crystal against warm, opulent elements including deep green and red marble, rich velvet, and dark mahogany wood.

- Aluminium

Bespoke desks made from these materials create striking focal points in the reception area.
