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 poor

Liked: The lobby. Friendly staff.
Disliked: Hotel is very tired. Had to move room once, could have a second. Suspect the hotel is tired under the hood with investment on infrastructure due. All service are noisy. No good communal areas for working. Take a box of cornflakes to find your way around. Unusual layout.

Exceptional

Liked: A fantastically central hotel with amazing staff and rooms. We were welcomed straight away and provided with a room at 8am after our journey off the sleeper train, which was not expected. The staff also sent a bottle of Prosecco to our room to make our stay even more special. Can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Very comfortable and pleasant stay

Liked: Breakfast was superb, as was the restaurant in the evenings. In both cases the staff were excellent - very attentive, friendly and polite but not intrusive.
Disliked: On arrival in my room, the first thing I wanted to do was close the window, as it had been left open and the room was a little chilly - but the window handle came off in my hand. It was not the best first impression.
