voco The Franklin 

Boutique charm

Dip a toe into the prestige of the Upper East Side without splurging on the mega-luxury this illustrious neighbourhood is known for. Think quieter streets, couture shopping, high-end art galleries, and Museum Mile. This is NYC done right.

Housed in a 1930's brownstone building, voco The Franklin has a smartness about it that suits its Upper East Side address. Despite being in one of Manhattan’s most famous and prestigious neighbourhoods, you’ll feel away from the tourist throngs yet only a ten-minute stroll from Central Park. The simplicity of voco The Franklin hasn’t detracted from its elegance. What it lacks in the bells and whistles that are synonymous with other Upper East Side establishments, it more than makes up for in friendly hospitality and comfortable, cosy guestrooms. If you’re eyeing up explorations of Museum Mile during your time in the city, voco The Franklin is an ideal base.

Why we love voco The Franklin

  • With just 50 rooms, you’ll feel like you’ve been let in on an Upper East Side secret

  • The legendary Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim are reached on foot in less than fifteen minutes
