If you are looking for an elite and exclusive luxury 4 star hotel in Edinburgh then you'll be more than just a little impressed by the The Howard Hotel. Located on Great King Street in the New Town area, the property is made up of three elegant Georgian houses, and offers a discreet and sophisticated stay in Scotland's capital city. Princes Street is only a 10-minute stroll away, and many historical attractions, entertainment venues and museums and galleries are within easy reach. From the moment you set foot in this sophisticated Edinburgh hotel you'll understand why discerning travellers make it their first choice for that special weekend away, intimate break or VIP meeting. Guests can take advantage of the hotel as a venue for conferences, business meetings or social gatherings. The experienced and professional staff are also delighted to arrange, airport transfers and day passes to Bannatyne's Leisure Club, less than a ten-minute walk away. Secure valet and wireless Internet access in public areas offers welcoming peace of mind. After your day working, shopping or sightseeing, return to the pleasures of a classic afternoon tea with homemade scones, clotted cream and strawberry jam. How very refined! No visit to The Howard Hotel would be complete without sampling the mouthwatering dishes served in the luxurious Atholl restaurant. With seating for only 14 diners it is best to book, and afterwards you can unwind with a nightcap served in the hotel's sophisticated drawing room.

Guests may serve themselves at the breakfast buffet. At lunchtime and in the evenings, guests may select dishes from an à la carte menu. Guests may book either a full board stay or bed and breakfast.

The luxury accommodation is unparalleled in Edinburgh. The hotel offers double, twin and superior rooms, which include many unusual features such as canopy beds, rain baths and antique bakelite telephones. In addition, guests are able to enjoy a view of the famous, cobbled Great King Street to the front of the hotel or, from the 2nd floor, panoramic views of the Forth River and the Kingdom of Fife. All the rooms feature a TV/entertainment centre, which offers various channels. Films, from blockbusters to classics, are available on request and for an added fee. All films are loaned for a full 24 hours, whether they are started, stopped or paused, rewound or played again. The TV also includes Internet access with the keyboard enabling the option to surf the Internet. A choice of national and international radio stations are available as well as a music library and it is possible, like with a jukebox, to select it through the TV. The rooms include an en suite bathroom, a hairdryer, direct dial telephone, a double or king-size bed, a seating area, a safe and central heating.
