The Pure
All-white design loft
All-white design loft
The property commits completely to white-on-white minimalism, running like an easygoing loft with late breakfasts and evening courtyard drinks.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
White marble, white leather, white lacquer — the celebrated local architect and designer Oana Rosen finds the button marked ‘futuristic’ and presses it repeatedly.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof sits just down the street. Bahnhofsviertel restaurants and the financial district are both within easy reach.
The rooms
Dark parquet floors offset the high-ceilinged, all-white bedrooms. Top-floor rooms open onto private terraces overlooking the city.
The sauna
In the basement, slatted wooden loungers face a glazed Finnish sauna bathed in deep red light.
The gym
Cardio machines and stationary bikes stand before floor-to-ceiling corner mirrors in the compact workout space.
The Pure Bar
The illuminated white counter pulls espresso through the morning and mixes cocktails late into the evening.
The Wenge parquet-floored rooms are high-ceilinged, decently sized and all-white with square accordion shades on over-head fixtures, white-leather-upholstered head boards, and wall-mounted media centers.
At the table
Glass tables in the Living Room look onto the courtyard, setting the scene for an eclectic buffet breakfast.
How it began
Local hoteliers Micky Rosen and Alex Urseanu converted a turn-of-the-century textile factory in 2005, erasing every trace of industrial grit.
