Surprisingly this privately owned hotel is one of only a handful to enjoy an address beside the River Thames and, for those who love splendid views, Swissotel The Howard is the perfect place to stay. Situated on a bend in the river between Waterloo and Blackfriars bridges many rooms share a magnificent panorama that simply took our breath away when we went to visit. This enviable location also lies conveniently between London’s financial – The City – and major social district – The West End – and is easily accessible by both underground and main line rail.
Bedrooms enjoy either stunning river or beautiful garden/courtyard views. All 177 rooms and 12 suites are equipped with satellite TV, safe, hairdryer, mini-bar, two incoming phone lines, voice mail and modem point. Add an extensive and tempting 24-hour room service menu and you need never leave your room.
