Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels (FRA)

Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area

Please note that some published services and schedules may be subject to change. If the idea is to spend the night in the public area, consider a plan B in case the stay inside the airport is only allowed for those who are about to board. Spending the night at the airport

Passengers with connecting flights or early morning departures should have no major issues spending the night at Frankfurt International Airport. In addition to being open 24 hours a day, it offers several services available throughout the night.

Where to rest: In Terminal 1, Hall B is open 24 hours (Halls A, C and Z usually close), while in Terminal 2 the most suitable area is on the second level. In Terminal 1, most seats have metal armrests, making them less comfortable for resting. However, in the Arrivals area of Terminal 2, there are seats without armrests, allowing you to lie down across two or three of them.

Another option is the yoga rooms, available around the clock next to gates C14–C16 and D1–D4. It’s advisable to bring an eye mask and earplugs, as the airport remains quite lively and noisy even at night. If you need to sleep on the floor, a blanket is recommended, as it can be cold.

For passengers in transit, already within the boarding area, in addition to the previously mentioned yoga rooms, there are "Leisure Zones", quiet areas with more comfortable lounge chairs, ideal for resting, located near gates A26, A50, B43 and D1–4. Passengers stranded at the airport for various reasons may request sleeping mats from a staff member.

NapCabs – In addition to the above options, Frankfurt Airport offers sleeping cabins in the transit area B of Terminal 1. They are located on level 3, near the rooftop terrace. The minimum rental period is two hours during the day and three at night. Daytime rates are €17.00 per 60 minutes, while the night rate is €12.00. Cabins can be booked in advance with a credit card or PayPal. They are accessible 24 hours a day all year round and come equipped with a bed, workstation, touchscreen with access to videos and music, USB port and internet access.

VIP Lounges – Another option (available for a fee or with certain credit cards) is to use one of the VIP lounges, where you can enjoy more comfort and privacy, although they usually close at night.

Additionally, there is a transit hotel in Terminal 1, and several hotels inside or near the terminals are listed further below.

Baggage: In Hall B of Terminal 1 there is a 24-hour office where you can leave your bags and rest more easily without having to watch over your belongings. Other offices close around 5:00 pm and reopen early in the morning.

Eating and drinking: There are convenience stores, bars and fast-food outlets open 24 hours a day in both terminals.

Restrooms: Showers are available in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 for a small fee. This service is also available in the VIP lounges.
