DESCRIPTION
The Franklin will be opening its doors in 2009. Please check back for updates.
London’s Knightsbridge is brought up to date in a luxurious, bespoke take on the English hotel. Designer J2 Designs has taken the four townhouses spanned by The Franklin hotel to create an open, airy space. The lobby looks onto a tree-lined garden and features a solid, proper London aesthetic lightened by liberal use of glass and modern touches. The gardens are present in more ways than one: guests have exclusive access to The Franklin’s stylish bar and restaurant, the Dining Room, both sitting atop the greenery. Further facilities include two meeting rooms and a new workout centre with the most recent Technogym facilities as well as a spa. Guestrooms sport fired-oak floors and abundant use of luxurious materials including Bellora linens; many bathrooms feature separate tiled areas with rain showers. All of this discreet luxury lies within a stone’s throw of Harrods and a host of London’s old- and new-school restaurants and entertainment.
LOCATION
The Franklin London is situated on the doorstep of Harrods in the heart of Knightsbridge on a secluded tree-lined garden square.
