• Here’s your chance to see the sights of London from the comfort of a sumptuous double bed overlooking the River Thames. 
  
  And it’s not any old view, mind. The Howard, as it’s affectionately known on Victoria Embankment commands some of the most spectacular, panoramic views.

• Eyes left, to Tower Bridge, St Paul’s and Canary Wharf. Eyes right, to the Houses of Parliament. With the London Eye straight ahead for good measure.
  
  

• And when you do eventually drag yourself away from the view, the Howard has plenty to offer all your other senses.

  • A tranquil and pampered environment, with large comfy beds and a Lavazza espresso machine in every room to wake you up when you do eventually surface.
     
  • A suave restaurant, The JAAN, with its exotic mix of modern French and Khmer influences; like wild pigeon and foie gras; like rabbit and lobster roulade.
     
  • The Australian chef Simon Noel Duff, for the record, was trained under the watchful eye of Marco Pierre White.
     
  • MAUVE, a somewhat cool, minimalist bar next to the restaurant.

 
The Mauve Bar

• Though set in a relatively quiet oasis on the Embankment, the bustle of Covent Garden is right on your doorstep.
   
• You’re in striking distance of world-famous London landmarks. Such as The Tate Modern, The Tower of London and the London Eye.

 
The restaurant

• Location, location, location, they say is everything. Bid, bid, bid and that’s something you can experience for yourself first hand.
