Room and hotel facilities:

All of the 47 rooms at the George Hotel are individually designed in an elegant style. The age of the building is reflected in the traditional character and charm that is visible throughout the building. By contrast the rooms have modern additions such as flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, hairdryers and tea & coffee making facilities. All rooms have ensuite bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. The hotel`s Courtyard Brasserie, popular with both locals and hotel guests offers an extensive menu of dishes. As you would expect from a traditionally British hotel, cream teas and The George Full Afternoon Tea are served daily. Guests can also enjoy a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap in the cosy surroundings of the hotel`s lounge bar complete with original beams and log fire.

Hotel and location:

The 3* George Hotel, is a 500 year old coaching inn in the centre of the historic town of Colchester. The hotel`s handsome façade and original features have been combined with contemporary additions to the hotels bedrooms following a refurbishment programme in 2018. The hotel is ideal for leisure and business visitors to Colchester being just 5 minutes walk from the town`s railway station. As Britain`s oldest recorded town and Roman city there are many sites of archaeological interest to visit including Colchester Castle, just 2 minutes from the hotel. For a family day out why not visit Colchester Zoo which is only a 15 minute drive away or the East Anglian Railway Museum, 20 minutes drive from the hotel.
