The Howard is three Georgian townhouses (circa 1820) merged together and elegantly appointed with old world elegance. The hotel is so discreet that passers-by may not notice a hotel there at all. The Howard sits at 34 Great King Street, 5 minutes from George Street and Princes Street. Great King Street is a gorgeous old cobbled street in Edinburgh’s New Town.
