But don't just take our word for it, here's what some of our guests have to say about their experience at The George:

- "From the moment you walk through the front doorway of The George hotel, it feels like coming home. Familiar faces with smiles and enthusiastic welcomes and a feeling that, although you want to rush up to your beautiful room, the idea of staying in the bar lounge area for a beverage and a snack is so inviting also. This is a little haven of peace and luxury only such a short distance from the city energy that Christchurch has in spades. I am torn - I want to tell everyone how amazing The George hotel is - but a part of me wants to keep it to myself! Either way, when I am fortunate enough to visit again, it will feel cozy and luxurious because that's what they do so well. See you again soon!"

- "I love staying at The George, there is an old-fashioned and much-missed intimate pride to everything the staff do. Your stay feels important to everyone. The rooms are well-appointed, the location is excellent, and the restaurant serves excellent food. As someone who travels extensively for business, there is something entirely comforting knowing I'm heading to stay at The George."

- "As soon as you walk in, you feel the weight on your shoulders lift."

- "I stayed at The George recently and was impressed with the impeccable service given by all staff members. Friendly, polished, and professional, they were a credit to the hotel. The evening meal at the Bistro was excellent, and I was surprised to realize that the hotel does a turn-down service - complete with chocolate and 'George,' a little memento teddy bear to take home (which I did, I just couldn't resist!). It's a wonderful hotel, close to the city, yet set in a very green and peaceful part of town. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again and plan to next time in a personal capacity with my husband."

Come and experience the exceptional dining and hospitality at 50 Bistro. We look forward to welcoming you soon!
