Outdoor and indoor ideas for your holiday party in Frankfurt

Most holiday parties take place indoors, but an outdoor celebration can be very appealing, too—especially if winter weather graces Frankfurt this year. Perhaps you could combine outdoor activities with a cozy, festive dinner at a lovely restaurant. Let our ideas inspire you!

Escape games

Still popular as a team-building event: escape rooms. Solving tricky tasks together under time pressure can bring a team closer. As in all major cities, Frankfurt has numerous escape rooms, some with holiday themes. This combines very well with a visit to the holiday market—ideally afterward, so the mulled wine doesn't dull your senses during the game.

By the way: if you’re planning a hybrid holiday party, where part of the team is present at the Frankfurt office and the other part joins virtually, an online escape room is a great alternative that includes everyone.

Party boat

A holiday party on the water might not sound traditional, but it’s really a question of decoration, catering, and programming. Party boats cruising along the Main past Frankfurt’s illuminated skyline come in various sizes and configurations, so renting one can be worthwhile even for smaller groups. From a small, cozy boat with food and a DJ to a luxurious ship with a bar, lounge, and ballroom, there are many options for your holiday party.

Holiday market rally

Want to see Frankfurt during the holidays from a different angle? A holiday-themed city rally is another idea that puts the team-building aspect front and center. Follow clues through the festive city and across holiday markets, enjoying a mulled wine or two along the way, and wind down the evening with a holiday dinner.

Magic show

For a holiday party in your own space, there are plenty of lovely ideas for unique entertainment. Magic shows are deservedly popular, with performers dazzling you with skillful tricks and inviting you to puzzle along. Festive decoration, traditional or modern holiday catering, musical accompaniment, and an illusion show—often that’s all it takes for a magical celebration.

Murder mystery dinner

A murder mystery dinner also invites you to puzzle and get involved. Fine dining combined with an exciting show, perhaps even on the water. During the holidays, many theaters put on special holiday-themed mysteries and offer interactive entertainment. Alongside this, a traditional holiday menu—with or without meat—or regional Frankfurt cuisine awaits.

Locations for your company holiday party in Frankfurt

The metropolis of Frankfurt offers a wide range of venues that can be rented for small and large holiday parties. From fine-dining restaurants to modern event spaces offering complete packages with entertainment and catering, you have plenty of choice. Some special locations:

Loft Eins

Spacious loft-style venues with high ceilings are trending, including for holiday parties, and rightly so: the combination of festive decor and urban industrial style has a unique charm. Loft Eins, located on the grounds of the former federal printing office in Frankfurt's Osthafen, offers flexible rental options. Its 300 square meters can accommodate up to 160 guests, but individual sections can be partitioned off, making it perfect for smaller holiday parties starting at just 10 people.

Restaurant Opera at the Alte Oper

Combine musical entertainment and culinary delights for your holiday party at one of Frankfurt's cultural landmarks: the Alte Oper and its restaurant. Enjoy a concert in festive attire, sip drinks at the bar during intermission, and follow it up with a festive dinner at Restaurant Opera—a holiday program your team won't soon forget. From the terrace, you can enjoy a wonderful view of Frankfurt’s holiday lights. The restaurant seats up to 400 guests and serves upscale international cuisine.

Westhafen Pier 1

Westhafen Pier 1 is a versatile venue located right on the water. Its industrial-chic spaces can host a gala-style holiday party for up to 190 people, or a more casual celebration for up to 500 guests within its nearly 1,000-square-meter, high-ceilinged interior. Entertainment, room decor, and table settings can all be arranged. Another plus: convenient on-site parking.

Alte Kaserne

Looking for a venue outside of Frankfurt? Located between Frankfurt and Darmstadt, the Alte Kaserne offers four indoor spaces suitable for groups of all sizes. Options include a lounge or the rustic Fuggerstube for more intimate gatherings. Surrounded by forest, the Alte Kaserne provides a festive, tranquil atmosphere away from the city hustle, perfect for the holiday season.

Cresco

Situated right on Frankfurt's Stadtgarten, Cresco features urban design and spacious event rooms. With up to 300 square meters of indoor and outdoor space, it can accommodate groups ranging from 20 to 300 people. Entertainment and event technology are available upon request. The on-site restaurant blends Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors with other international highlights.

Main-Dock

Looking to celebrate without a curfew? Frankfurt's Main-Dock, with its bar and three lounges, has no time limits, as this modern venue is located in the heart of an industrial area. With seating for up to 250 people, you can dance, feast, and gather in a space that truly sparkles, thanks to Main-Dock's modern lighting concept. Its industrial charm and spacious, loft-style layout are also ideal for themed holiday parties, such as movie or casino nights.

Astor Film Lounge

For a holiday party with a cinematic flair, a trip to the movies is a fantastic idea. Watch a holiday film together, or perhaps choose an action movie for an exciting contrast, followed by a holiday menu. Cinemas like the Astor Film Lounge Frankfurt can be rented as a stylish event space for an exclusive holiday movie experience, complete with equipment, catering, and your choice of film.
