Hans Sachs, the Kaiserslautern hotelier, turned a former Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau office at Mendelssohnstraße 79 into SAKS Urban Design and opened it in mid-August 2017, in time for the IAA. The Westend house has 39 rooms and suites, about 18 to 52 square meters, plus 14 apartments whose residents share the hotel. He added a roof floor for the spa, with a sauna, a steam room, and a gym, and put Henry's Bar and breakfast downstairs. The house has no restaurant of its own.

About SAKS Urban Design
- The conversion of the old office dragged on, so a trial opening was set for the start of August 2017, ahead of the public mid-month start.
- He took a long-term lease from the owner rather than buying the block, and the model was his 92-room SAKS in Kaiserslautern.
- Entry-level rooms start at 194 sq ft (18 m²).
History
Hans Sachs, who already ran SAKS in Kaiserslautern, converted a former Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau office on Mendelssohnstraße. The Rheinpfalz reported on 8 July 2017 that the work had dragged on, that a trial run would start at the beginning of August, and that the hotel would open in mid-August for the IAA. The plan was 39 rooms and 14 apartments, a new roof floor with spa, sauna, steam, and gym, and Henry's Bar and breakfast on the ground floor, with no restaurant. He leased the building.
The setting
Mendelssohnstraße 79 is in Westend-Süd, postal code 60325, by the Bockenheimer Anlage and within walking distance of the Messe, the Messeturm, the Festhalle, and the Hammering Man. Mainzer Landstraße and the Taunusanlage are the next streets over.
