The Spotlight on INTERCONTINENTAL EDINBURGH THE GEORGE

Stylish Heritage Stay Steps from Edinburgh's Music Scene

Modern luxury meets historic charm at the InterContinental Edinburgh The George, a beautifully restored Grade II-listed hotel in the heart of Edinburgh. Set on George Street, you're within easy walking distance of iconic landmarks like Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street Gardens, with top music venues just around the corner. With refined interiors, a popular on-site restaurant, and a touch of Georgian grandeur, this hotel is ideal for travelers who want elegance and convenience in equal measure.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel puts you right in the action—just a short stroll or cab ride from many of Edinburgh’s major live music venues. After the show, wind down in a quiet, stylish room thanks to solid soundproofing and a late-night bar open until 1:00 AM. With free high-speed WiFi, a 24/7 room service menu, and a flexible check-out time of 12:00 PM, it’s easy to sleep in and recharge the morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends heading to a gig and looking to stay central
- Solo travelers ticking an artist off their bucket list
- Couples making a romantic weekend of their concert plans
- Fans seeking a peaceful and upscale recovery space after the show
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a touch of elegance (especially when deals are available)

Food and Drink Options

The hotel delivers when it comes to late-night cravings. The Printing Press Bar & Kitchen serves seasonal Scottish dishes until 1:00 AM, while Burr & Co offers cakes, sandwiches, and great coffee throughout the day. Breakfast is served daily—perfect for those slow mornings after a late night out. Plus, full room service is available if you’d rather stay in bed.

Nightlife Options

You're already on George Street, one of Edinburgh’s liveliest areas for bars and lounges. Whether you’re looking for a quiet nightcap or a post-show buzz, you’ll find plenty of options nearby. The hotel’s own bar serves up local whiskies and craft cocktails in a relaxed and refined setting.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s central location and the elegant, recently refurbished rooms. Many highlight the friendly staff and the high quality of the food and drinks available on-site. The charming blend of history and modern comfort is a consistent favorite among reviewers.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that standard rooms can feel a bit compact for the price, and that the hotel’s popularity can sometimes make public areas busy. But most agree that the overall experience and location more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Edinburgh and want a stylish, central base with late-night vibes and historic flair, InterContinental Edinburgh The George hits all the right notes.

Very good

Liked: The location was very good. Close to restaurants and the shops and not far from the old town. The staff were great - very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good.
Disliked: The room was quite small and overlooking a narrow road/loading bay. The bathroom was very small and it was quite difficult to manoeuvre around and no where to put the toiletries.

Think before you book

Liked: Clean and in the centre of town
Disliked: First, they scammed me in the room allocated to me, they gave me one small room and a bit bigger room and I paid for two exact same rooms. The rooms were really small compared to any intercontinental hotel I've ever stayed in, the only thing intercontinental about this hotel is the bryedo toiletries for use, nothing else, aside probably George on the first day, all the staff especially on the second day seemed like we were disturbing them. It's a hotel not worth the value I spent. I will never recommend it anyone I know. Also the room i paid for was to have a view into the court yard, but it seemed i was in a box, the room was blinded to everything. No introduction to the facilities being offered by the hotel. The stay was completely disappointing.

Very Comfortable Stay

Liked: The hotel was very nice. The staff were extremely friendly and polite which I loved. Room was spacious. Location was excellent.
Disliked: I was hoping to get a twin bed and requested that at booking time as well as a follow-up message through the application to the property, but no response sadly. Besides that, all was excellent.
