The contemporary and hip interior boasts a crisp brown color palette, with dark-wood furniture, light-wood floors, and lots of suede and leather, punctuated with bright white and red. Distinguished interiors throughout, such as in the bar and restaurant, as well as picture postcard views, provide a memorable setting for a London trip. - Swissôtel The Howard, is planning minor upgrades of some of the floors from 26th of July till 3th of September, 2010.
