The Franklin Hotel Knightsbridge London reopens after a complete renovation

By James Russell: The Franklin Hotel Knightsbridge London reopens after a complete renovation

June 24, 2016

Acquired by Italian entrepreneur Elisabetta Fabri, President and CEO of the Italian group Starhotels and designed by Anouska Hempel, The Franklin Hotel reopens August 1st, 2016

  • Stunning location: 5* refinement and peace in the heart of Knightsbridge – as quintessentially English as Harrods, Harvey Nichols and the V&A
  • An elegant Victorian building embracing the beauty and calm of private Egerton Gardens, with glorious London Plane Trees onto which many of its rooms look out
  • Anouska Hempel takes her inspiration from her travels – particularly evident in the ground floor of grey limestone and Carrara and in her elegantly opulent interiors of mirrored furniture, gorgeous Italian velvets and silks as well as in Ikaats from Istanbul
  • 35 spacious rooms and suites including the Presidential Suite (63 square meters)
  • An intimate space flooded with light from lofty Victorian windows
  • A hotel that feels like home featuring a highly personised service including a dedicated Guest Experience Team to create tailored excursions
  • Fine Italian restaurant overlooking the Gardens, Italian Executive Chef, Michelin-starred
  • Champagne and Martini Bar overlooking the Gardens
  • Hammam and Gym floor
  • Anouska Hempel is one of Architectural Digest’s top 100 world Designers and Architects
