Wonderful classic hotel with perfectly comfortable modern standards. Staff is extremely helpful, kind and discreet-everything is thought about: water on the bedside table, slippers prepared for you, room serviced almost immediately in the morning and so on. The property is just beautiful!! I’ve enjoyed every moment spent in there!

One of our top picks in London
The Franklin captures that rarest of qualities: serenity. Its secluded English gardens are the perfect counterpoint to bustling Knightsbridge. The hotel combines the warmth of a private home, the impeccable service of a Grand Hotel and Anouska Hempel’s timeless, Italian-influenced design. A spectacular hammam and garden-fronting restaurant and champagne bar need exploring. However, it is The Franklin’s tailored experiences, which are as individual as its guests, that make it so much more than just another luxury hotel.
