The George is located in the heart of the characterful medieval town of Rye. Dating from 1575, the former coaching inn has been carefully renovated, offering bold and eclectic interiors in each of the 41 guest bedrooms. The impressive wall to ceiling shell-adorned bathroom for the restaurant is a surprising detail interiors fans will love.

Rye is a town to gently mooch around. Meander the quaint cobbled streets and pop into pubs, cafes, delis, and the array of independent shops and antiques treasure troves. After a day of exploring, The George is a welcoming bolthole to return to. Guests can book a table at The George Grill which serves up plenty of local produce, and enjoy a cocktail in the courtyard or Dragon Bar.
