The Howard, An Ascend Hotel Collection Member Edinburgh - A 5-star Georgian townhouse with butler service and exclusive 14-seat fine dining
Located in Edinburgh's prestigious New Town, this 5-star EDI hotel occupies three Georgian houses on Great King Street. The Howard features 18 individually designed rooms equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and luxury private bathrooms with Penhaligon toiletries. The exclusive Atholl restaurant accommodates just 14 diners in an intimate drawing room setting, where a dedicated team of chefs prepares meticulously crafted dishes. Professional butlers provide 24-hour room service, personal shopping assistance, and luggage unpacking. Business facilities include meeting spaces for 8 to 50 participants, while the business center offers additional workspace. The Ascend Hotel Collection property sits within a 5-minute walk of six art galleries and 0.5 miles from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. Key attractions including Camera Obscura, Scottish National Gallery, and Princes Street Gardens are all within 1 mile.
Pros
Personal butler service includes storage of frequent guests' essentials for future visits
Eight restaurants and cafes within 984.3 ft, including French Press Coffee Co and Archipelago Bakery
Traditional Georgian architecture with period decor throughout
Some rooms feature river views and separate seating areas
Cons
Limited on-site dining capacity with only 14 restaurant seats
Rooms near stairs may experience noise from kitchen and dining areas
“Here's a property that understands the art of hospitality; the butler service elevates the stay, while the Atholl restaurant offers intimate fine dining, seating just fourteen. Its location places you a short walk from Edinburgh's center, but the hotel's unique charm may make you want to linger longer. It's an excellent choice for those seeking attentive service.”
