Boasting an enviable location in Edinburgh city center, the historic and chic InterContinental Edinburgh The George sits in the new town, close to Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street Gardens and Holyrood Palace. It features elegant rooms, a selection of events spaces and meeting rooms (including the magnificent Kings Hall) and a well-equipped gym. This Grade II listed building with its distinctive facade was first built in 1775 and has since undergone an extensive refurbishment project, transforming the majority of the bedrooms and public areas. The carefully-designed interior has created a sense of restored grandeur with simple detailing and the use of natural materials in a nod to its rich history. Each room features a flat-screen TV, free WiFi and an private bathroom, alongside welcome amenities and luxury Byredo toiletries. Free high-speed WiFi is also available throughout the hotel. The on-site restaurant, Le Petit Beefbar, serves the finest cuts of beef from around the world, as well as a menu of cocktails, spirits, soft drinks and coffees. The restaurant is open Wednesday–Sunday only, but the bar is open seven days a week from 12.30 until 11pm. The hotel cafe Burr & Co. is a local favorite, serving drinks and a selection of cakes, pastries, sandwiches, and salads. It is open 8am–5pm. on weekdays and 9am–5pm on weekends. A full room service menu is also available for guests wishing to dine in-room.

I chose this hotel for its excellent location and beautiful architecture. Naturally, I trusted that Intercontinental would live up to its reputation. The elegant lobby, the cleanliness of the room, and the fresh renovation initially confirmed that we had made the right choice.
Check-in took somewhat longer than expected. The windows in our room were covered with a frosted film, as the view was entirely obstructed by the surrounding buildings. The fitness room left much to be desired — more closely resembling a small storage area for gym equipment than a proper facility. On the second day of our stay, no room service was provided. After requesting it via the concierge, a maid eventually arrived — though not promptly. Shortly afterwards, another staff member came to our room and asked me three times, “No more complaints now?” — a line of questioning that felt unnecessarily confrontational. We had, after all, only asked for room service. Upon check-out, no assistance with our luggage was offered. It was raining as we exited the lobby, yet no one came to help, nor did anyone acknowledge our departure. The front door was simply closed behind us — as though we had never stayed there. Despite all of this, no one hesitated to accept our generous tips.

This is in my opinion one of the best hotels to stay at when in Edinburgh. The location is perfect, it's clean and the staff really make you feel welcome. The food is really nice... I can't fault the hotel. This is our go to place to stay, I cannot recommend it enough.
It's all good, there was nothing we did not like.
