A handsome hostelry with 500 years of history, few hotels have as many stories to tell as this one. Its dignified facade a distinctive feature of Colchester’s characterful High Street, The George is an authentic coaching inn with a storied history interweaved with the town’s own. Preserved in its medieval cellars, the ashes left by Queen Boudicca’s rampage that burned Roman Colchester to the ground take you right back to AD60, while just upstairs, today’s travellers are treated to every contemporary comfort.
Quietly stylish rooms, an atmospheric Lounge Bar and an intimate Courtyard Brasserie complete the allure of the oldest hotel in town, for centuries an icon at the heart of the oldest town in England.
2019 promises to be an exciting year for The George, with a £10 million makeover currently underway. The George is currently closed while these works are taking place but our annexe located across the road at St Nicholas Hotel is still open.
Showcasing the best of British produce, dining at The George is a taste of local culture. Leading conference and banqueting facilities are underpinned by the imaginative, categorically English menu at the Courtyard Brasserie, and the cosy, rustic tranquillity of the Lounge Bar.
Before anyone takes to the stage, allow The George’s historic ambience and effortless efficiency to do the talking. A characterful venue for events of every kind, our flexible function rooms are a popular rendezvous for delegates and private diners alike. With spaces for up to 70, enjoy the latest in conferencing technology and a team of events professionals with an unrelenting attention to detail.
We had such a lovely visit the last time in October we went back without hesitation, especially since the refurbishment is under way. As before the staff were friendly, efficient and would do anything to help. Lunch was tasty, fresh, home cooked and reasonably priced. The restaurant is not open in the evening but there are an abundance of restaurants within a stones throw.
Whether you choose to stay for 1, 2 or 3 nights with us, our fantastic offer gives you what is in its name – Wine, Dine & Dream! Enjoy a refreshing glass of wine on arrival, a dreamy night in our luxurious beds and a sumptuous three-course dinner from our A la Carte menu. To top off your stay we are also including a hearty full English breakfast the next morning to set you up for the day ahead. Bring the kids along for a free stay and they will enjoy a free breakfast too!
The George Hotel has choc-a-block calendar of special events throughout the year to offer you a whole host of entertainment options. From tribute dinners to holiday celebrations, you can be sure of a spectacular evening that will be remembered for years to come.
