The George in Rye
High Street, Rye old town · Hotel
A Georgian coaching inn on the High Street reworked into a contemporary boutique hotel, with a wood-fired restaurant and a ballroom for events.
About The George in Rye
The George in Rye has stood on the High Street since 1575, rebuilt in its current Georgian form after a fire in the early eighteenth century, and today combines that long history with a thoroughly contemporary interior. Original features including a Georgian ballroom sit alongside modern furnishings and locally made textiles throughout the public rooms.
Bedrooms range from cosy doubles to larger suites, each individually designed, with several retaining exposed beams or Georgian sash windows looking onto the High Street or the quieter courtyard behind. The hotel's spa treatment rooms offer a modern counterpoint to the historic building.
The restaurant centres on a wood-fired oven and grill, drawing on Sussex and Kent produce, while the George Tap bar serves a more relaxed menu and a strong selection of local ales and gins, making the hotel as much a destination for dinner as for a stay.
