Dining at the Swissotel The Howard, London

Jaan - Modern French cuisine with an Indochine accent stars in this elegant restaurant with mirrored columns, abstract contemporary art, and lights hanging from a Rococo-plastered ceiling. Well-spaced tables are graced with orchids and olive green silk-covered chairs. In summer, the seating spills out onto the adjoining courtyard. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Temple Bar - Featuring an eclectic mix of classical and Asian decor, this bar is open from late morning until the early hours. Black-lacquered cabinets house malt whiskies and cigars; both may be sampled in comfortable gray easy chairs. Next to a grand piano, glass doors open onto the quiet courtyard garden.

Swissôtel The Howard is located on Victoria Embankment, south of Aldwych. Express trains serve both airports into the center of London, for transfers to taxis or the Underground (subway). The closest Underground station is Temple. Taxis are best hailed with the assistance of the porter.

Although there are parking facilities nearby, there are heavy fines for drivers who forget to pay new tolls for driving into central London. Traffic is difficult even for the seasoned driver. Best bet: taxis or the Underground.
