InterContinental Edinburgh The George by IHG

Clean, comfortable and friendly staff. Great breakfast.

We had a city view, out towards the sea, not the castle, which was nice, but it meant we had noise from the service road below.

Breakfast was exceptional

Bathroom was very small compared to the room size

Beautiful interior and furnishings - lovely restaurant - excellent breakfast and location.

Pillows on the hard side - not goosedown - and daily cost of the Club room too high.

Location is great, the staff is awesome and a very good breakfast. The downside is the noise (laundry truck at 5:30-6am) other room noise and the a/c. Hotel could use a refresh, dirty carpets/walls especially in halls and stairwells.

This was our fourth Christmas shopping trip to Edinburgh and another fantastic stay at the InterContinental. From the moment we arrived, the festive atmosphere was exceptional. We were fortunate to receive an upgrade to a suite, and the hotel looked stunning with its Christmas decorations. The historic character of the building really comes into its own at this time of year, creating a traditional old-school Yuletide atmosphere that is increasingly hard to find. The staff were excellent throughout our stay, as they have been on every visit, and breakfast in the Executive Lounge was a lovely way to start the day. A highlight of the trip was our annual Christmas meal at The Dome, which never disappoints. Combined with the Christmas markets, festive lights and beautiful architecture, Edinburgh is simply magical at this time of year. Perhaps I’m biased being from the North East, but for me Edinburgh is the best city in the UK for Christmas. After four festive visits and four excellent stays at the InterContinental, we’ll certainly be returning again.

Marvellous, hotel in beautiful George Street, which couldn’t be any more central for the sights of Edinburgh. Special thanks to Chloe, who is an absolute gem and who can’t do enough for guests and visitors. She made our visit very special indeed.
