Located in the northernmost neighborhood of New York City's borough of Brooklyn, the Franklin Guesthouse is a boutique hotel designed to provide an authentic Brooklyn experience. Ingeniously created by the owners and management of the renowned Box House Hotel, this captivating abode masterfully blends a homely atmosphere with the alluring charm of Brooklyn. The check-in experience reflects this ethos, a low-key personal affair that brings to mind arriving at an apartment building rather than a traditional hotel. This unique property is equipped with an on-premise restaurant and bar, a fully appointed business center, and a luxurious gym complete with sauna and steam shower, adding layers of convenience and luxury to your stay in one of Brooklyn's most desirable neighborhoods.
Located in a neighborhood considered the epicenter for hipsters, artists, and musicians, the hotel is just a two-minute walk from cute boutiques offering succulents and artisan coffee, top-notch cocktail bars and eateries, Greenpoint Avenue G train station, and the East River Ferry. It's also a smooth 20-minute ferry ride from India St/Greenpoint terminal to Midtown Manhattan.
Each of the 30 suites at the Franklin Guesthouse New York accommodates up to four guests, replete with individual climate control, a work desk, and a flat-screen cable TV for a cozy stay. The suite features include 13' high original timber and tin plated ceilings, hardwood floors, and commissioned contemporary art. Rooms also boast 43'' televisions, locally sourced mini-bars, high-speed Wi-Fi, and in-room coffee facilities. Meanwhile, the lower level rooms could benefit from more natural light and enhanced soundproofing to isolate noise from guests upstairs. Keeping cleanliness paramount, the Franklin Guesthouse ensures every room key card is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected upon every check-in. Check-in time commences at 3:00 pm on the day of arrival, while check-out is scheduled for before 11:00 am on your departure date.
