The Howard

Rooms

Rooms at The Howard are large and fairly simply furnished, with elegant creams, greens and purples in the decor. Facilities include complimentary international calls, iPod docking stations and USB chargers but no minibar or tea and coffee making facilities, as guests can make use of their personal butler for such requests. Each room is unique in size and style, although luxury rooms are at the back of the property, making them quieter than the standard rooms. Suites have high ceilings and some have working fireplaces, and all terrace suites are below the ground floor with their own private street entrance.

Location

The Howard is situated on a pleasant Georgian street of townhouses, just a ten minute walk from the shops of Princes Street or around 15 minutes from the Royal Mile. The hotel’s local vicinity is quiet and residential, with attractive boutique shops and independent cafés lining the main street leading toward the distinctive Scott Monument on Princes Street.

Food and drink

The Atholl is the hotel’s intimate dining room, which serves lunch and dinner from an à la carte menu of Scottish cuisine, this can also be served in your room. In addition to the à la carte options, there is also an exquisite seven-course tasting menu option, which can be paired with wine. Afternoon tea is served daily between 2pm and 5pm.
