25 Hours Hotel is some kind of oasis amongst the red light district of Frankfurt.

They went the whole hog on the Levis theme… Denim everything… My room was a 40s style Chicago setting. How funny that I immediately warmed to it, but would be revolted if it was Dolce & Gabbana. Brands are powerful things.
