With World Honeybee day fast approaching on 17 August, there is no better time to experience one of nature’s greatest delights at Jumeirah Frankfurt; home to over 40,000 of these furry friends.
Located conveniently on Jumeirah Frankfurt’s skyline rooftop, their bespoke apiary has generated quite the buzz and the honey harvest is well underway this year…
With the honeybee numbers dwindling rapidly, the hotel is leading the way with the Skyline Honey initiative in Frankfurt. This rooftop bee-garden features four state of the art hives, some 100 metres above the hustle and bustle of the world’s economic epicentre and the beekeeper visits on a weekly basis during spring and summer to collect the pots of gold.
When staying at Jumeirah Frankfurt, there is a variety of ways to enjoy this fresh and organic honey… Guests can indulge with the bespoke Skyline Honey Treatment at the Talise Spa, where the sticky substance is used to form a gritty paste for refreshing and rejuvenating results.
Used widely throughout the hotel’s bars and restaurants, make a toast to World Honeybee day, with their special honey cocktail, adequately named the ‘Honey Rider.’ Guests who visit the Max on One restaurant for breakfast, will also experience the large displays of honeycombs placed in the centre of the buffet tables, to ensure the ultimate freshness for guests’ morning spreads. For those that want to have a taste of Jumeirah Frankfurt in the comfort of their own home, honey jars are also available for purchase.
With its central location, Jumeirah Frankfurt’s honeybees are in the prime position for daily visits to the main river embankment and the beautiful Pamengarten botanical garden, which are all located within a three-kilometre radius.
