Hi Q,
I have been to Frankfurt. The airport has a large business complex attached to it, with offices and hotels. However, these are accessible only after you exit through the immigration section. You would thus need to apply for a German/Schengen visa if you intend to stay at the Sheraton hotel. If you were only transiting via Frankfurt airport, you would have not needed any visa. You may also want to confirm by contacting the hotel directly and/or confirming with the local German consulate nearest to you.

Hello Nizzie,

Thank you so much! I guess I will get a tourist visa then! I have a 1 day halt at Frankfurt on way back.. .(not by choice of course ).

Nicole,

Appreciate the information. I can't believe you took the pain to reply! Thanks again. Unfortunately it means I am going to have to obtain a visa. So probably will try to change the ticket rather than get a visa.

Thanks nonetheless!!
