George Hotel

About

The George Hotel, set at the corner of High Street and George Street in Huntingdon, is a living testament to England’s coaching‑inn heritage. First established in 1574 and later purchased by Henry Cromwell, the inn has hosted figures from Oliver Cromwell’s era to 19th‑century theatre patrons. Today, the hotel offers a blend of period charm and modern comforts, with well‑furnished rooms, a on‑site restaurant serving classic British fare, and a historic courtyard that formerly hosted Shakespeare performances. Beyond its rooms, visitors can explore the hotel’s storied past through on‑site displays and a rich collection of memorabilia, including the Renaissance‑style design of its original timber frame and the iconic balcony overlooking the courtyard. The George Hotel’s elegant architecture and location near Huntingdon’s market square make it an ideal base for those wishing to immerse themselves in the town’s literary and theatrical legacy. Whether you arrive for a quiet night’s rest or to enjoy a hearty breakfast in its historic setting, the George Hotel offers an authentic slice of Huntingdon’s past, combined with contemporary hospitality standards suitable for families, couples, or solo travellers alike.
