The Franklin Hotel is located in Manhattan's exclusive Upper East Side neighborhood.

This residential hotel offers a quiet escape from the busy city, yet is close to New York's cultural center, famed museums, exclusive shopping and eclectic restaurants. The 843 acre Central Park's gardens and lakes provide plenty of opportunities for walking, jogging and winter ice skating.

The historic Franklin Hotel greets guests into an intimate lobby with elegant European style. Fresh flowers fill the numerous sitting areas in the living room off the main entrance. In one alcove, European continental breakfasts are served, which also features a 24-hour cappuccino and tea machine.

Hotel accommodations include guestrooms with soothing green hues, chandeliers, neutral carpets and contemporary dark wood furnishings. Guest beds are dresses with monogrammed white linens.

Guestrooms also feature large dressing mirrors and televisions. Small, modern bathrooms offer designer toiletries.

Sotheby's and Christie's Auction Houses are two miles of the Franklin Hotel, two of the larges clearinghouses where guests can find one of a kind art and unique personal possessions of famous people.
