frankfurt airport services

We have about five hours in Frankfurt airport after a long night
flight from India and continuing on to Toronto I know that there are
shower facilities in the Frankfurt airport but is there any way to get
a massage or use an airport hotel's services for a short time?

thanks

We also have a layover in Frankfurt, but ours is 12 hours. We can't use the
shower facilities, since we're traveling coach. Is there anything we can do
to clean up, rather than booking an expensive German hotel?

With 12 hours you can easily take the S-Bahn (essentially the subway)
into town -- takes about 15 minutes, right out of the airport terminal
-- find a reasonable hotel or B&B (web search in advance), and rest,
sight see, museum hop, shop or generally enjoy the stopover.

(Note: the S-bahn trains from the airport don't just go to the main RR
station in Frankfurt; they become subways and go to multiple stops in
Frankfurt as well).

Or the Sheraton right in the airport is great -- maybe you can somehow
get a good rate for one night there, through a travel agent or ???
(does Priceline work with them?)

There's a shower you can use in the airport for the payment of (I forget
how many) euros. I've used it; it's fine.

I also second the suggestion to go into the city. I had a much shorter
layover than you a few months ago, and took the train in to the centre and
wandered around for a bit.

Take care

But be warned that they are not open very early in the morning. I
can't remember exactly when they open but it's somehwere in the
vicinity of 6.30 am IIRC. ;Not a lot of help if you get in on a 5 am
flight and want a shower before making your connection.

I cannot argue with your success but where did you find a search with
anything but a pull down menu that does not contain the choice "showers"?
