Great hotel with cool vibes
Great hotel in a great location close to so many attractions. The staff is amazing and the restaurant is spectacular on the rooftop. It’s a very cool vibe all around. I give five stars to the breakfast, which is superb, included with our room, and the dinner we enjoyed was A+. There are events at the hotel which makes it even better. I was travelling for three nights with my wife and four year old daughter and this stay was perfect.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! It’s funky, clean, the rooms are spacious and well-appointed, the staff are amazing, the food (especially the breakfasts) are great. It’s like a hidden gem in the middle of plainness - the speakeasy of hotels. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

This is a hotel with verve, boasting a style all its own. Ever so slightly (and enjoyably) steampunk. Spacious and comfortable rooms, professional and friendly staff. We lived the upstairs lounge and restaurant. Outside deck and plunge pool would be a plus in a slightly warmer season. Gorgeous George would be a great pick for most anybody, and is a refreshing alternative to stodgier luxury properties nearby.

Honeymoon at George
We spent 4 nights during our honeymoon at Gorgeous George. We had the most amazing stay. The location is central, right in the CBD. The rooms were clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. Gigis restaurant was incredible on the top floor! They had amazing coffee, drinks, and mouthwatering food! Don’t miss their daily complementary a-la-carte breakfast! The hotel had such quirky, yet mindblowing decor! Will gladly come back

Really cool art-focused boutique hotel in the center of downtown. Area is a little edgy and getting in/out via car can be tricky but the staff is skilled and capable at assisting when you need it. We walked from hotel to the garden district along the park -- could have also done the walk to the waterfront easily. Food was really good - we had one dinner and a breakfast at the hotel. And drink program / cocktails were excellent. Just what you'd expect from an urban boutique hotel. Did not disappoint.

Second time staying here and it was just as great as the first time. As before, everyone was super welcoming and helpful and the room was fantastic. The restaurant too! It is well located with an interesting market nearby and an easy Uber/cab ride to the waterfront and other places. Thoroughly recommended - and I hope to visit again in the future!
