The Upper East Side's hippest, funkiest hotel has a pint-size lobby decorated with black granite, brushed steel, and cherrywood. Most rooms are also tiny (some measure 100 square feet), but what they lack in size they make up for in style: all have custom-built steel furniture, gauzy white canopies ...

I've stayed at The Franklin at least a half dozen times over the last three years. The staff is always friendly and helpful. And, since I usually travel alone, I feel like they look out for me.
