Owned by the Caledonian Insurance Company before becoming a hotel in 1881, the George Hotel is a stately grade II-listed Georgian building located amid the shops and restaurants of George Street, 125 metres from Princes Street. The 195 guestrooms feature traditional country-style decor with brightly coloured fabrics and dark-wood furniture. All are equipped with cable TV and pay movies, dial-up Internet connections (surcharge), direct-dial phones with voicemail, coffee/tea-making facilities and complimentary weekday newspapers. White-tiled bathrooms feature tub and shower combinations, wall- mounted hair dryers and complimentary toiletries.
Housed under a glass dome in a former trading hall dating from 1770, the Carvers Table Restaurant offers a buffet of fresh fish, roast meats and vegetarian options, and also hosts Scottish, Arabian and casino theme nights. Le Chambertin is a split-level fine- dining restaurant serving modern Scottish dishes for lunch and dinner. Guests can sample single malt whiskies in the bar, which has a country club feel with oak panelling, leather sofas, and glass cabinets displaying clan crests from all over Scotland. Highland tea, with fresh scones, shortbread and pastries, is served daily in the lobby lounge. The hotel's business facilities include four meeting rooms able to accommodate up to 200 people, wireless Internet access, secretarial support services and a business centre. Multilingual staff at the 24-hour front desk can safeguard valuables and provide around-the-clock room service. Secure parking is available for a surcharge. The hotel is located 500 metres from both the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery, which houses works by artists ranging from Rembrandt to Sir Henry Raeburn. Arthur's Seat is two miles away, affording views of the city, the Firth of Forth and the Lothians. Edinburgh International Airport is eight miles away, with an approximate driving time of 30 minutes.
