It runs from the Opera Square and the western ends of the Freßgass and Goethestraße high-end shopping streets to the Eschenheimer Tor, along the Wallanlagen park area to the north.

The Hochstraße includes several listed buildings from the Gründerzeit era.

It also notably includes the Sofitel Frankfurt Opera five star plus luxury hotel[1] and the Hilton Frankfurt City Centre hotel, both facing the Wallanlagen park from opposite ends.

The street is also located in close proximity to numerous large financial institutions.

The Hochstraße is traditionally considered one of the most fashionable streets in Frankfurt, and the street has in recent years regained this position through major developments, particularly the construction of the widely praised Sofitel Frankfurt Opera hotel in a neo-historicist style as a dominant feature of the street.
