Hit the road for a truly classic experience

Whether you’re planning a romantic weekend away, a lively trip with friends or a family break, stay at The Howard and spend a day taking in Scotland’s breathtaking countryside in the car that revolutionised sports car design – The Jaguar E-type Roadster.

Relive the glamour and sophisticated style of the 1960s in this classic British sports car, once described by Enzo Ferrari as ‘the most beautiful car ever made’. You will be waited on by the Howard’s own professional team of butlers, who will pack you a gourmet picnic hamper and provide suggested tour routes - so all that’s left for you to do is get the roof down, sunglasses on and foot to the floor!

At the end of the day, settle down for a delicious three-course dinner in the Howard’s decadent restaurant, The Atholl. Choose from sweetcorn veloute with crab cake and roasted scallops, fillet of Scottish beef bourguignon with pomme puree and a veal reduction, and a mouth-watering bitter chocolate delice with salted caramel and hazelnut ice cream. Top the night off with a nightcap from the extensive range of fine single malt whiskey’s as you relax in the drawing room.

The Howard is a beautiful 5-star hotel in the heart of Edinburgh that prides itself on offering guests a unique experience with great attention to detail and discretion. Personal service is the key to the experience at The Howard so each of the 18 individually decorated rooms has their own personal butler. The hotel is one of four privately owned luxury hotels in Edinburgh that make up The Town House Company. These traditional townhouse buildings have retained many of the period features of Edinburgh’s New Town but with individual styles to meet your requirements.

The Classic Cars package includes two nights luxury accommodation including a full Scottish breakfast on each morning, a dedicated butler service, one full day hire of a Jaguar E-type Roadster, a freshly prepared gourmet hamper and touring map for your road trip, and a three course dinner served in the Atholl on one night. Prices start from £435 per person for two nights – valid until 31st October 2008.
