Detailed Review
Built in 1829, comprising three beautifully and traditionally restored Georgian town houses, The Howard is a gem amongst small hotels.
Offering eighteen superbly designed bedrooms, including two junior suites and private entertaining for up to twenty people, this luxury boutique hotel is stylishly furnished with antiques and oil paintings. There is also a small private car park to the rear of the hotel, which can be accessed from Cumberland Street.
From the discreet front entrance, through to the enchanting breakfast room with hand-painted murals, the feel is of being in a private house. Whilst both impressive and grandiose, The Drawing Room, which centres on an elaborate crystal chandelier, is also a wonderful, peaceful place to relax in the big comfy armchairs and sofas.
This five star deluxe hotel, designed to meet today's needs, is ideally situated in the New Town, just ten minutes walk from the centre of Princes Street and Edinburgh's famous sites.
