Many people simply see Frankfurt as Germany’s financial heart. But this does a disservice to the city’s rich artistic and cultural heritage, pioneering design projects, superb local beers and award-winning wines from nearby Mosel. Villa Kennedy is the perfect base from which to develop the most extraordinary event in Frankfurt.
Revolutionary Design
What we love about Frankfurt is that it matches our Rocco Forte values, seamlesslyblending heritage with modernity. A living example of Frankfurt’s forward-thinking ethos, the ground-breaking DomRömer project has painstakingly restored the historic beauty of the Old Town. With a vibrant new mix of restaurants, shops and traditional artisan workshops, there’s never been a better time to plan an event in this innovative city.
Fascinating Cultural Heritage
Home to nine different cultural institutions, Frankfurt’s Museum Embankment is located just minutes away from Villa Kennedy. From priceless works of art in the Städel Museum to foundations dedicated to film, architecture and communications, the huge variety of workshops, special events and tours available promise to keep everyone entertained.
Hearty German Cuisine
Mixing international influences with traditional German produce and pairing it with superb local wines and beers has made Frankfurt’s food scene a force to be reckoned with. This is showcased in the raft of stylish restaurants and hearty, authentic inns all over the city. Frankfurt’s proximity to the Mosel and Rheingau wine regions provides oenophiles with the perfect opportunity to explore the vineyards and taste some renowned local wines.
Fairytale Castles
Outside the city are some of Germany’s most beautiful castles and palaces, from the elegant Lohr Palace, overlooking the Main River (the inspiration for the birthplace of Snow White), to Mespelbrunn with its romantic moat, hidden away in the enormous Spessart forest.
The Right Space
From grand gatherings to intimate affairs, Villa Kennedy has a space to suit your specifications. Take over the elegant ballroom, which accommodates up to 320 guests, or make use of the Villa’s delightful garden for an al fresco affair or relaxed BBQ. Frankfurt has all the ingredients for an unforgettable event.

Sometimes, the best ideas start in the most unexpected places. Often as a conversation between friends, perhaps over a drink. And so it was for Lydia Forte and Edgardo Osorio, Founder and Creative Director of Aquazzura whose shared vision led to the creation of Aquazzura Bar, a seasonal cocktail bar in the Secret Garden of Hotel de Russie. We sat down with them over a Margarita – what else? – to find out more…
Along the Mediterranean, food is intrinsic to daily life. Mornings begin with fishermen hauling in their catch, while market stalls brim with sun-ripened produce. Meals unfold slowly, often outdoors, with dishes meant to be shared. No rush, no excess - just ingredients at their peak, prepared simply and enjoyed in good company.
In the early 20th century, Munich was a hotbed of artistic innovation. Amid shifting social landscapes, a new school emerged from an intense exchange of ideas that would shape the trajectory of modern art: Der Blaue Reiter, or The Blue Rider. This avant-garde collective left an indelible mark on modern art with their radical departure from tradition and bold exploration of colour and spirituality.
