The Franklin London

Why do people love staying in your hotel? Firstly the design of the hotel. The Franklin Hotel has been designed by one of the Top 100 World Designers and Architects: Anouska Hempel. She took inspiration from her travels, particularly in Venice, to create a property that feels more like a warm and inviting private home than a hotel; offering to our guests the atmosphere of an English country house meeting an Italian Palazzo. The resulting design creates a true standout on the London luxury hotel map. Secondly The location of the Franklin –set in the beautiful surroundings of the private Egerton Gardens-   is very much appreciated by our guests. We are just a few minutes from buzzy Knightsbridge - home to Harrods and Harvey Nichols and within walking distance of the V&A and the Museums of South Kensington, but we offer the exclusivity of a private home. The minute our guests enter the hotel they are transported into an oasis of piece and taken away from the hustle and bustle of busy London. To finish, the food (obviously !). Overlooking the garden, The Franklin restaurant by Michelin Starred Alfredo Russo offers an accessible yet sophisticated menu. The food is authentic, in the traditions of the Italian cuisine using the freshest ingredient but also innovative. What is there to do in the area or on site? Outside of The Franklin Hotel is a riot of activity with Harrods, The Victoria and Albert Museum, Hyde Park and Kensington Palace all located nearby. Trafalgar Square and the London Eye are also easily reachable, though slightly further away.
