The Howard Hotel Edinburgh is a luxury five-star Georgian styled Hotel set in the centre of Scotland’s capital city. The Hotel is the proud winner of the 2006 Thistle Award for customer care, it received a special commendation in the 2007 Scottish Hotel of the year awards, and is consistently placed in the UK’s top 200 hotels by AA. The Hotel is known for being a discreet, homely and welcoming place to stay. The venue was originally among a number of houses built in the 1820s in the New Town part of Edinburgh which developed after the Old Town area became overcrowded. The three houses which now make up the Howard were turned into a Hotel after World War Two. During the mid-90s the Hotel underwent a make over to ensure its upkeep and decoration was kept top class. The Hotel commits itself to treating its visitors like guests staying in private residences, hoping they can call it their home during their stay.
