Hotel Description

Location. Swissotel, The Howard is located on the Victoria Embankment and overlooks the River Thames in London, England. This property stands across the street from the Temple Underground Station and is positioned six blocks from Covent Garden shops, theaters, and restaurants.
Hotel Features. The light-infused lobby displays a blend of traditional and contemporary décor anchored by elegant glass sculptures and a mirrored reception desk. Fluted columns, contemporary mauve-toned couches and chairs, and fresh flower arrangements create a welcoming environment. Jaan restaurant offers Baroque-style décor with orchids and green silk-covered chairs. The chef prepares innovative French and Vietnamese cuisine. Tempo Bar opens onto a quiet courtyard that houses a playful waterfall, a pond and a gigantic yucca plant. This bar features black-lacquered cabinets that conceal malt whiskies and cigars. Mauve Bar presents stylish ambience and serves afternoon tea, light meals, wines, champagnes and cocktails. A 24-hour business centre is equipped with high-speed Internet access.
