Lindner Hotel & Residence Main Plaza

I have to confess to not making the most of my recent stay at this hotel thanks to the unprecedented quantity of free alcohol given to my band when we played at the Union Halle on the second night of our trip.


When I first arrived in Frankfurt I was straight off out for a wander down the gorgeous riverside, populated by joggers, rollerbladers, dog owners and anybody else who fancied a pleasant wander along the pretty river Main in the fading sun of the early evening. A man fed bread to an excited group of swans and ducks, a little girl clung on to her mum for help as they skated along and I mooched along blissfully, enjoying the extra few degrees of warmth I'd earned by travelling from London to Germany.


When I got back to the hotel I spent time checking out the excellent spa facilities and gym and making plans to use them the following day, but after soundcheck and sightseeing I was only fit for a very comfortable nap under my big fluffy duvet before it was time to go to the show. And then the next morning I was so ill I had to beg for an extended late checkout so I could try to partially recover before heading home, so no spa or gym for me!


That bed was super comfy though.
