Sofitel Frankfurt Opera is a five star plus ("Superior Luxury") hotel in Frankfurt, Germany. It is part of the French Sofitel chain of luxury hotels, and is located at the Opera Square facing the Old Opera and along the Hochstraße, in the centre of the central business district known unofficially as the Bankenviertel (Banking District).

The main entrance of the hotel is directly facing the Wallanlagen park, and the hotel also has entrances from the Opera Square and Hochstraße. The hotel is located in the immediate vicinity of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, numerous other financial institutions, and some of Germany's most well-known high-end shopping streets, e.g. Goethestraße and Freßgass. Its Hochstraße front directly faces the short pedestrian streets Kleine Hochstraße and Kaiserhofstraße, which both lead to the Freßgass a hundred meters down the street. The Freßgass and the Goethestraße can also be reached from the Opera Square.

The hotel was built in a neo-historicist style between 2011 and 2016 after extensive public discussion[1][2] and is scheduled to officially open in September 2016. The hotel is targeted at highly wealthy individual customers as well as corporations.[3] The building complex includes office spaces and conference facilities, a ballroom, 150 hotel rooms, 30 suites, one presidential suite, apartments for rent, a gourmet restaurant named Schönemanns (after the Frankfurt banking family to which Goethe's fiancée Lili belonged), a bar, high-end shops, a fitness studio and an underground parking garage.[4]
