The George Hotel of Stamford

Historic Charm Meets Modern Comfort in Stamford

Set in a beautifully preserved medieval inn, The George Hotel of Stamford blends centuries of history with boutique luxury. Located just off the ancient Great North Road, this 4-star hotel is a stylish and serene base for concert-goers looking to explore live music in Stamford, Peterborough, or nearby venues. With individually designed rooms, on-site dining, and a rich atmosphere, it's ideal for fans who appreciate a mix of tradition and comfort.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the hotel's peaceful atmosphere after a loud night out, along with its easy access by car to nearby venues in Peterborough (just 20 minutes away). Free on-site parking is a big plus for those road-tripping to shows. Though nestled in historic surroundings, The George offers modern amenities like Sky Sports in rooms and complimentary Wi-Fi, so you can relive the gig or stream the setlist before heading out. While not in a city center, its location makes it a solid choice for guests attending concerts at more rural or stately venues like Burghley House.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends who want a unique and cozy base
• Solo travelers chasing a once-in-a-lifetime live show
• Couples looking to pair a concert with a romantic getaway
• Fans needing a quiet retreat after a high-energy performance
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking value in a stylish stay

Food and Drink Options

You won’t go hungry here. The hotel’s oak-paneled restaurant serves a creative mix of traditional and modern English dishes, and the York Bar is a favorite for light lunches and real ales. After a late night, enjoy a relaxed breakfast in the elegant lounge or garden courtyard. While there's no 24/7 room service or late-night menu, nearby Stamford eateries are just a short stroll away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more toward old-world elegance than wild nightlife, the York Bar offers a cozy spot for a post-show drink featuring local ales and wines. For more action, you'll find pubs and bars in Stamford within walking distance, or a short cab ride takes you into livelier scenes in Peterborough.

What People Say

Guests rave about the character and charm of the historic building, especially the beautifully decorated rooms with original features. Many love the top-notch service and the unique blend of tradition and modern comfort. The food, especially the afternoon teas and breakfast, gets frequent praise. Reviewers also highlight the peaceful setting as a perfect contrast to the energy of a concert night.

Areas for Improvement

Because of the hotel’s age and layout, some rooms may feel a bit quirky or smaller than expected. There’s no on-site gym or spa, and while it’s close to venues by car, it’s not walking distance from major arenas. For those relying on public transport, taxi or rideshare is a must for late-night returns.

The Bottom Line

A charming and peaceful stay with boutique flair, The George Hotel of Stamford is ideal for concert-goers who appreciate history, comfort, and a touch of luxury after the show.
