Lots of great freebies make the classy, 1930s-era Franklin a great pick outside the tourist zone: free Wi-Fi, free breakfast with fresh French pastries, a 24-hour cappucino/espresso machine in the lobby, passes to the New York Sports Club, and a free afternoon wine and cheese reception from 5 to 6:30 p.m. that offers cheese brought in from a gourmet purveyor.

This newly renovated boutique hotel is steps from the center of bustling Times Square, but feels like a calm oasis -- and the complimentary wine hour (5 to 6 p.m.) in the stylish, contemporary lobby makes it all the more relaxing.
