The RIVERPARK Tower will occupy a prime location overseeing Frankfurt’s Main river, ideal for both corporate and leisure travellers, with Frankfurt Central Station and the Westhafen Tower located within 5 minutes walking distance to the property. Frankfurt International Airport is also a mere 15-minute drive away east of the tower.
