- Grand capital digs: Commanding attention on Edinburgh's prestigious George Street, InterContinental Edinburgh the George by IHG is an iconic five-star landmark hotel. With a history spanning over 200 years, this stunning building invites you to join a guest list that once included bold figures like Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. Inside, expect to find gleaming marble floors, wonderfully high ceilings and touches of modern elegance throughout.
- Glamorous gastronomy: Sink your teeth into some of the finest cuts of meat at Le Petit Beefbar, a restaurant by the acclaimed Riccardo Giraudi, where classic brasserie dishes get a modern twist. Peruse a menu brimming with traditional grills and the street foods of Japan, Mexico, and Europe, all while admiring the chic décor of the hotel’s dining room. For a much needed pick-me-up, head to Burr & Co., a local favourite known for its coffee and tempting selection of sweet, flaky pastries.
- Stylish Scottish sanctuary: After a long day spent exploring the city’s rich history and stunning architecture, return to the plush comforts of your beautifully furnished guest room. Offering a sophisticated atmosphere, each room has a distinctive heritage feel, adorned with paintings and thoughtful designer touches. Should you wish to keep up with your fitness routine, the hotel also provides its own gym.

InterContinental Edinburgh the George by IHG, 19 - 21 George St, Edinburgh EH2 2PB
Beyond your immediate surroundings, Edinburgh offers a wealth of things to see and do. Wander the cobbled streets of the Old Town to find plentiful attractions and the Royal Mile itself. For a morning walk, you could head up Calton Hill to take in sprawling city views or even brave the hike up Arthur's Seat for an unforgettable panorama. You can also dive into Scottish culture by sampling some traditional haggis or enjoying a local whisky tasting. For a dose of culture, visit the Scottish National Gallery, the National Museum of Scotland, and of course, the iconic Edinburgh Castle, which dates back to the 11th century.
