The Franklin is a member of design hotels. Situated on harrods doorstep in the heart of knightsbridge on a secluded tree-lined garden square the Franklin is one of london s best kept secrets. Spanning four victorian townhouses this intimate hotel has the ultimate london location and is designed to accentuate its english heritage combined with an eclectic mix of the traditional and contemporary. A feeling of space and tranquility is immediate upon entering the open lobby which has direct access on to the glorious tree-lined garden. The designer j2 design have focused on retaining the elegance inspired by the existing architecture whilst adding some modish touches and incorporating the floral elements synonymous with the classical english theme. Intricately laid stone and fired oak floors black onyx surfaces and exquisitely engraved glass screens all serve to compliment the muted palette of natural tones and colors to give an edgy twist. The bathrooms too have engraved back-lit glass panels with many having separate wet areas with rain showers. Every detail has been catered for down to the beautiful italian bellora linen.
