The George Hotel

When we first bought the George Hotel back in 2020, we made a commitment to the future of this iconic building.

We are making exciting progress towards making our vision for the George Hotel come to life, you could say we are raising the roof.

£20million has now been approved by Cabinet to allow us to continue restoring and developing the building so it is in prime condition to house a quality hotel.

Phase one – asbestos removal and general works to make the building safe, is complete and we are now deep into phase two where roof works are progressing, the stonework restoration is well on its way and the windows are in manufacture.

But this isn’t the only news we have …

We have named the Radisson Hotel Group as our preferred operator and will now progress to the drawing up of a formal Hotel Management Agreement.

If you have not seen it already, take a look at our video and go on a whistle-stop tour of the building and see for yourself the condition the building was in before we started these conservation works. It’s an eye-opener.
