The George Hotel, Edinburgh

Hotel Description

Recently refurbished, the George hotel is situated in the heart of Edinburgh, within easy reach of the majority of the city’s most popular attractions including the famous Castle, Princes Street Gardens and Holyrood Palace. Easily accessible by road, rail and air, the George Hotel is just a few minutes walk from Waverley Station and is just a short journey from Edinburgh International Airport.

July 2006 saw the completion of a major 12 million refurbishment of this two hundred year old grade II listed building. Although retaining many of the original architectural details, all 195 of the hotel's bedrooms, many with views of Edinburgh Castle or the Firth of Forth, have been transformed and given a contemporary new look. This includes The Kings Hall, a magnificent new events room seating up to 300 people for dinner or 240 guests for a Dinner Dance.

Seven additional state-of-the-art rooms hold between 16 and 80 people for private dining. The hotel also created a stunning new restaurant and bar concept, Tempus, which boasts its own direct access from George Street.

An elegant hotel with the refurbished contemporary wing. The George is the perfect choice for conferences, meeting and short breaks.

Open 7 days a week, our chic, elegant and lively lounge bar offers a range of drinks, from refreshing beers to exotic cocktails and great value champagnes.

Drop in for a glass of Veuve Clicquot Rosé after shopping at any of our near neighbour boutique shops, and enjoy a night on the town in Tempus by working through our superlative cocktail menu. There are some fantastic bars on George Street and nearby, but we think once you have tried here you won't want to move on!

Tempus is fast gaining recognition for being one of the in-places to eat, with relaxed dining throughout the bar and restaurant to the highest standards. Wherever possible products are sourced locally, for example Buccleuch beef, Loch Fyne smoked salmon and Luca's ice cream.
