Our Story

Set in an elegant Victorian building nestling in the lush beauty of the private Egerton Gardens, The Franklin combines the warmth of a private home with the impeccable service of a luxury hotel.

The hotel has recently been refurbished by celebrity designer Anouska Hempel, whose work has helped create a temple to hospitality. Here, the charm of an English house meets the magic of Italian design, and the result is a unique, original style that has transformed The Franklin into one of the most outstanding 5-star boutique hotels on the London scene.

Its common areas are embellished with sumptuous Italian velvets and silks, exclusive furnishings in grey tones and sophisticated decorative objects.

Every one of the 35 spacious rooms and suites is a distillation of elegance and style. Flooded with natural light, tastefully decorated and boasting the finest contemporary comforts, they are sure to live up even the most demanding expectations. Most offer views of Knightsbridge or the lush green of Egerton Gardens.
