A charming studio in the beating heart of Hollywood, this practical place is part of an impressive Art Deco building and boasts a chic interior. There are nods to Old Hollywood glamour here, and the building's history proves it's the real deal – it opened in 1927 and has been home to a number of musicians and stars throughout the years (the band KISS loved the place). It's packed with excellent amenities – we're talking guest lounges, games rooms, a courtyard garden and a gym – and although you'll have a perfectly equipped kitchen in your unit, there's breakfast provided for guests too. Inside, the studio apartment is bright and stylish, with a luxurious bed, velvet sofa and alcove desk. Just a stone’s throw from some of Hollywood’s biggest attractions, including Hollywood Boulevard and Runyon Canyon, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to activities. And, of course, this central position also means you're able to easily access some of LA’s best restaurants and bars.

About Franklin Village
In the 80s and 90s there was something of a trend to affix the word “village” to many neighbourhoods and streets of Los Angeles (Fairfax Village, Larchmont Village, Los Feliz Village, and Virgil Village among them). A stretch of Franklin Avenue also received this treatment and Franklin Village was born.
