The Howard, Edinburgh

The Howard is a traditional Scottish Georgian town house hotel. Originally built as homes in the 1820's these three buildings which are now 'The Howard' are part of the city's New Town in Edinburgh and they became a hotel just after the Second World War. In late 1995 the hotel was bought by 'The Town House Company' owned by Peter Taylor. Since the purchase considerable redecoration and further improvements have taken place to ensure that the highest standard of accommodation is maintained this includes an excellent Dining Room and dedicated Butler service.

During your stay, you'll be taken back to the time of traditional Georgian pampering in one of eighteen individually characterised rooms.
