Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 8.8
 

InterContinental Edinburgh The George, a landmark of timeless elegance on one of Edinburgh's most prestigious streets, has welcomed the bold and curious—from Robert Burns to Sir Walter Scott—for over two centuries.

Now it invites you to experience the warmest of Scottish welcomes in the very heart of the capital, perfectly positioned as your sophisticated base for discovering the city's spectacular views, cultural treasures, and historic wonders.

This magnificent Grade II listed building, originally constructed in 1775 and meticulously restored to blend restored grandeur with contemporary refinement, features simple, elegant detailing and natural materials that honour its rich heritage. The chic New Town location places you steps from Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street Gardens, and Holyrood Palace, with Princes Street's vibrant energy and the city's finest attractions right at your doorstep.

Each beautifully appointed room offers flat-screen TVs, complimentary high-speed WiFi throughout the hotel, and luxurious en suite bathrooms stocked with signature Byredo toiletries and thoughtful welcome amenities—creating an atmosphere of effortless comfort and understated sophistication in every detail.

Le Petit Beefbar, the hotel's signature restaurant (open Wednesday to Sunday), delights with the world's finest cuts of beef, an inventive cocktail list, premium spirits, and artisanal coffees in a refined yet relaxed setting. The bar welcomes guests seven days a week from 12:30 pm to 11 pm. Burr & Co., the beloved on-site café, serves exceptional drinks alongside freshly baked cakes, pastries, sandwiches, and salads daily from 8 am to 5 pm on weekdays and 9 am to 5 pm on weekends. A comprehensive room service menu ensures indulgent in-room dining at any hour.

A well-equipped gym supports your wellness routine, while versatile events spaces—including the magnificent Kings Hall—offer grand yet intimate settings for meetings, celebrations, or special occasions. With insider concierge knowledge to unlock Edinburgh's most remarkable experiences, InterContinental Edinburgh The George stands as the ideal luxurious home-from-home in Scotland's captivating capital.
