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.

Rooms: 199. Hotel Chain: Principal Hayley Hotels & Conference Venues.

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

Food & beverage

Situated in the heart of George Street, the Bond Street of the North, discover Tempus, a renowned meeting place for Edinburgh's fashionable socialites!

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.

Great products at realistic prices!

Central position, excellent service, lovely comfortable bed.

Lack oof parking. The Greenside Car Park is quite a distance, the discount there is not generous. There needs to be at least more access at the hotel front for unloading and loading luggage.

The bar, although it was terribly understaffed.

The room was dreadfully equipped.There was no heating during the day. Tiny bathroom with dangerous shower faclities. No aircon. Only 1 armchair. No shelf space ar drawers. Tiny bedside tables. No fridge, let alone mini bar. We had to move room after being put in one that was being refurbished. Asked for manager to make recompense, never bothered to respond.

The hotel itelsf was very nice and other than reception staff were very polite and helpful - the room too was great. Location was good too.

Yes, credit card details were given directly to the hotel with the explanation the card was to be used to pay for the 8 rooms booked (accommodation only) guests would settle extras on departure. The reception staff were extremely unhelpful and only after 50mins did they concede. They did not however, change the booking on the system causing more issues upon check out & much embarrassment
