Boasting an enviable location in Edinburgh city center, the historic and chic InterContinental Edinburgh The George sits in the new town, close to Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street Gardens and Holyrood Palace. It features elegant rooms, a selection of events spaces and meeting rooms (including the magnificent Kings Hall) and a well-equipped gym. This Grade II listed building with its distinctive facade was first built in 1775 and has since undergone an extensive refurbishment project, transforming the majority of the bedrooms and public areas. The carefully-designed interior has created a sense of restored grandeur with simple detailing and the use of natural materials in a nod to its rich history. Each room features a flat-screen TV, free WiFi and an private bathroom, alongside welcome amenities and luxury Byredo toiletries. Free high-speed WiFi is also available throughout the hotel. The on-site restaurant, Le Petit Beefbar, serves the finest cuts of beef from around the world, as well as a menu of cocktails, spirits, soft drinks and coffees. The restaurant is open Wednesday–Sunday only, but the bar is open seven days a week from 12.30 until 11pm. The hotel cafe Burr & Co. is a local favorite, serving drinks and a selection of cakes, pastries, sandwiches, and salads. It is open 8am–5pm. on weekdays and 9am–5pm on weekends. A full room service menu is also available for guests wishing to dine in-room.

Disappointing
We loved the location, which was excellent, near the train station, the main shopping areas, the old town and other areas of interest such as Stockbridge and Dean Village. The staff were very attentive and professional.
The first room we had was on the second floor at the back, without any view. We were woken up every morning at 6:45am by a massive delivery lorry with constant noise for about 30 minutes. We complained to reception and they moved us to another room on the sixth floor facing another direction, which they said would be quiet. The view from the room was blocked by a huge structure (see photo) but, again, at around 6:45am, we were woken up by noise from a big vehicle, probably coming to empty the bins and, again, the activity lasted for about 30 minutes.

Great location. Good price. Great staff.
Nothing we don’t like. Breakfast could have been a little better that’s all. Didn’t use gym so can’t comment.

Location great. Room was better than expected. Breakfast a little disappointing especially for the price.
Not possible to get a good caffe latte at breakfast and the poached eggs were done hard. I was surprised. I wouldn't have breakfast here again.

The staff, the food, the bar and restaurant are stunning.
The room location. 048 felt like we were too far from reception and didn't feel like a part of the beautiful main area.

We did ask for an upscale room and it was definitely worth the upgrade . The hotel has lots of charm . All staff were very outgoing and provided exceptional service . Room was immaculate, very clean, great A/C. Nice high ceilings to give airy feeling. Close to shopping , points of interest and restaurants. Easy check in and out . Their breakfast buffet was exceptional as it offered a wide variety of choices .
There is nothing I can say that I disliked. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a more upscale establishment
