The Howard, Edinburgh
The front door of the extremely private Edinburgh New Town hotel, The Howard, is usually closed, opening only for the arrival of guests to ensure a very special VIP welcome.
If you are looking for superior accommodation in the New Town but are often frustrated with the large, brash, corporate city centre hotels, then select The Howard for a unique blend of exquisite comfort and tranquil ambience amidst antiques and classic furnishings. Sleep in one of eighteen tastefully decorated bedrooms and sumptuously furnished suites, all individually designed featuring canopy, king size or 4 poster beds, period bakelite telephones, a coal effect gas fire, traditional claw foot bath or even a private patio garden. Indulge in afternoon tea in the magnificent drawing room and dinner in the Atholl Dining room, featuring 19th century hand painted murals. Expect truly personal service from your assigned butler who is given the task, if you wish, to unpack/pack, iron clothes, assist in planning your stay and pamper you with care and attention.
The location is perfect, just a five minute walk from fine restaurants, cafes, wine bars, art galleries and shopping at Harvey Nichols. A member of the Small Luxury hotels of the World, The Howard has been selected as one of the AA’s top 200 hotels in the UK, described as “splendidly luxurious – an elegant and high quality experience for the discerning traveller”.
