Surrounded by the beauty of Egerton Gardens, The Franklin London blends the warmth and intimacy of a private home with its signature quintessentially Italian hospitality. Just moments from the luxury shopping destinations of Harrods and Sloane Square, and a short walk from cultural landmarks including the Victoria & Albert Museum, the Natural History Museum, and the Science Museum, The Franklin enjoys a quiet, residential setting in the heart of Knightsbridge.
The hotel’s lavish interiors have been exquisitely crafted by designer Anouska Hempel, drawing on a tapestry of global influences, from the romance of Venice to the eastern allure of Morocco. The Franklin’s 35 spacious rooms and suites reflect this distinctive vision, with a monochromatic palette and rich textiles creating an atmosphere that is both theatrical and deeply serene.
