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.

The decor was beautiful especially for Christmas. It helped make the trip that extra bit magical for my daughter!
The water pressure in our room wasn’t great and the bathroom was on the small side, but sufficient for a one night stay.

We have stayed at the intercontinental/George hotel every time we have visited Edinburgh. We have always enjoyed our stay but this time was excellent. Everything was at a very high standard. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Location was great, good bar and ambience.
Service at the breakfast table was useless but couldn’t fault the food it just took 30 mins to get a cup of tea organised at the table.

Room was still not ready at 3.45 Unable to drink in lobby after been told bar is full and to wait in the lobby. Staff spoke to us like second class citizens. The bathroom smelt of damp and black mould in shower tray. The fridge motor was very loud the bed uncomfortable room right to the lift

Fair
The staff within the hotel were lovely, very attentive and friendly. The location was excellent, very central to lots of amenities.
The hall ways to the room are looking rather tired, and really rather basic for such a hotel. The room itself was rather basic too, with a tiny bathroom, and a TV that wasn't a "Smart TV". In this day and ages it's a expectation really. We went for a drink in the bar, early evening and not particularly busy. I was advised it was table service and that they'd be right over... 20mins and it was only when we were about to leave that the bar manager (I assume) took note and got the drinks herself. We noted several couples walking out as they had been waiting so long, not a great look. Overall the price of the stay was more than the experience would warrant. Unfortunate.
