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. Maybe you'll 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, challenges can bring a team closer together. As in all major cities, Frankfurt has numerous escape rooms too, some with holiday themes. Combines very well with a visit to the holiday market, ideally afterward, so the mulled wine doesn't dull your senses during the escape 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 festive, but that's really a question of decoration, catering, and program. Party boats cruising along the Main past Frankfurt's illuminated skyline come in various sizes and setups, 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 holiday-time Frankfurt 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 holiday-lit 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 an unusual entertainment program. Magic shows are deservedly popular, with performers dazzling you with skillful tricks and inviting you to puzzle along. Festive decoration, traditionally or modernly inspired 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 invested. Fine dining combined with an exciting show, maybe even on the water. During the holidays, many theaters put on special holiday-themed mysteries and invite interactive entertainment. Alongside it, a traditional holiday menu, with or without meat, or Frankfurt regional cuisine, awaits.

Locations for your company holiday party in Frankfurt

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

Loft Eins

Spacious loft-style locations with high ceilings are trending, including for holiday parties, and rightly so: the combination of festive decoration and urban industrial style has its own charm. Loft Eins, on the grounds of the old federal printing office in Frankfurt's Osthafen, can be rented flexibly, its 300 square meters offer seating for up to 160 people, but individual sections can also be separated off for partial use, so small holiday parties from 10 people can be held here too.

Restaurant Opera at the Alte Oper

Musical entertainment and culinary delights for your holiday party at one of Frankfurt's cultural landmarks, that's what the Alte Oper and its restaurant combine. Enjoy a concert in festive attire, select drinks at the bar during intermission, and a festive dinner afterward at Restaurant Opera, a holiday program your team won't soon forget. From the terrace, you can enjoy a wonderful view over holiday-lit Frankfurt. The restaurant seats up to 400 people, enjoying upscale international cuisine.

Westhafen Pier 1

A versatile location right on the water, Westhafen Pier 1. A holiday party as a gala evening can be held for up to 190 people in the industrial-charm spaces, while up to 500 people fit for a casual celebration in the nearly 1,000-square-meter location with its high ceilings. Entertainment, room, and table decoration can of course be booked too. Another plus: good on-site parking.

Alte Kaserne

Looking for a location outside Frankfurt itself? Alte Kaserne, between Frankfurt and Darmstadt, offers four indoor spaces for celebrating with smaller or larger groups. For example, a lounge is available, or the rustic Fuggerstube for smaller groups. Alte Kaserne is completely surrounded by forest and offers a festive ambiance during this reflective season, with quiet away from the city hustle if desired.

Cresco

Right on Frankfurt's Stadtgarten sits Cresco, with its urban design and spacious event rooms. Up to 300 square meters of indoor and outdoor space are available here, from small groups of 20 people to large groups of up to 300 people. Entertainment and event technology can be booked on request. The attached restaurant combines Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine with other international highlights.

Main-Dock

Looking for an open-ended celebration? At Frankfurt's Main-Dock, with its bar and three lounges, there's no time limit, since this modern location sits right in the middle of an industrial area. With seating for up to 250 people, you can celebrate here and experience holiday sparkle while dancing, feasting, and gathering together, thanks to Main-Dock's modern lighting concept. Industrial charm in a spacious, loft-style location, also ideal for themed holiday parties like a movie or casino night.

Astor Film Lounge

For a holiday party in a cinema atmosphere, a movie theater visit is a great idea. Watch a holiday film together, or maybe an action movie as an exciting contrast? and enjoy a holiday menu afterward. Cinemas like the Astor Film Lounge Frankfurt can be rented as a stylish event location for an exclusive holiday movie experience, along with equipment and, of course, catering and a selected film if needed.
