Widely considered one of the best hotels in Germany, Villa Kennedy is tucked away across the river from the hustle and bustle of Frankfurt, but the city is quite easily accessible. This exclusive getaway was original built in 1901 as the private home of the Speyer’s, one of Frankfurt’s most prominent banking families. While the family only lived at Villa Speyer for thirty years, those three decades were filled with history. The Speyer family was a great patron of the arts. Concerts were often held at the villa and included some notable composers and musicians, such as Richard Strauss and Hugo Becker. During World War II, Villa Speyer became the property of the city of Frankfurt. During its ownership, the villa was home to Max-Planck Institute, a hub of physics and quantum mechanics research.
