About the Hotel
Intercontinental Edinburgh The George By Ihg - A historic New Town hotel with Victorian banking hall, Taittinger Champagne Bar, and Forth Bridge views
Located in Edinburgh's prestigious New Town, this 5-star EDI hotel occupies a series of Georgian townhouses featuring an arched entrance with centuries-old Caledonian Insurance Company signs. The Intercontinental Edinburgh The George showcases a Grand Victorian banking hall with a stained glass dome ceiling, unique chandelier, and original Corinthian pillars. Guest rooms draw inspiration from 19th-century Scottish landscape paintings, decorated in oak, smoke, moss, and mist tones with smart leather accents. Each room includes USB charging points, smart TVs, mini-fridges, electric kettles, and complimentary Tuck Boxes with snacks. The ceramic-and-marble bathrooms feature rainfall showers or roll-top baths with Agraria toiletries. Le Petit Beefbar and Burr & Co. provide on-site dining options, while the Editor's Bar serves as a dedicated Taittinger Champagne Bar with private booths. The property houses seven event spaces accommodating up to 300 attendees, including a penthouse meeting space on the 5th floor with a terrace overlooking Edinburgh. Situated 0.5 miles from Scott Monument and the Scottish National Gallery, the hotel provides access to major cultural attractions.
