We have an 8 hour layover waiting for our next flight next month at the Frankfurt Airport.
Any suggestions on restaurants or lounges that we can pay for to enter.
We will be on United/Lufthansa, but rarely fly them and don't have any status on their FF.
If you have a Chase Sapphire card, you can access the Air Canada Lounge at Frankfurt Airport.
Frankfurt Airport Leisure Zone
Do you have Priority Pass?
Lux lounge in Terminal 1 or
Priority Lounge in Terminal 3
Do you have American Express Platinum?
There are several Lufthansa Business Lounges you can access. If traveling business class you can access Lufthansa Senator Lounges.
Most lounges have a 3 hour limit.
Look at hotel day rooms, looks like they run around $100.

With that long of a layover, pop into town. Tons of stuff to see, there might be a fest downtown, lots of good restaurants, maybe a museum. You would have a good 3-4 hours sightseeing time and the trains only take 15 min. to get to the city center - the Hauptwache. S-8 or S-9, and there is one every 15 min. No reason to sit at the airport for 8 hours when a sunny day in Frankfurt is such a nice option.
Consider going to The Squaire. Directly attached to Terminal One. Restaurants, a few shops, gym. I also think there is a spa attached to the Sheraton/Marriott.
Thanks to all the great ideas.
I noticed that The My Cloud Transit Hotel is inside security. How good an option?
Expensive pods. I would not want to sleep in them.
Security is not that big of a problem in Frankfurt and doesn't take long. No real reason to stay airside or even to stay at the airport for 8 hours.
If you want to sleep, and shower, get a day room at Hilton Garden Inn.
Thanks, Ms. Jo,
The Hilton Garden Inn, is in The Square, right outside the exit. If going through security is not bad, that is a great suggestion.
There are restaurants at the Squaire too, as well as a REWE grocery store and Rossmans. Paulaner has Bavarian food and it is also in the Squaire. Opposite end from the Hilton.
