The George Hotel

Where History Lives and Hospitality Leads 

In a city where heritage runs deep and the streets echo with stories of gold, grit, and grand beginnings, The George Hotel stands tall — not just as a building, but as a living part of Bathurst’s soul. 

Since 1876, this iconic corner of  George Street has been a gathering place for locals, travellers, and history-makers alike. From its early days through fire and rebirth, to its elegant transformation in the 1930s, The George has evolved — and today, it’s a hospitality icon infused with character, charm and warm friendly service. 

A Modern Hotel with a Storied Past 

Opposite the leafy beauty of Machattie Park and just minutes from Mount Panorama/Whaluu, The George blends historic significance with sophisticated hospitality. It’s where architectural heritage meets contemporary design, and where every guest is welcomed like a long-lost friend returning home. 

Step into the light-filled front bar, settle by the fireplace in the lounge or enjoy a meal in the vibrant bistro — where our seasonal menus and award-winning wine and spirit selections celebrate both local flavours and international classics. Upstairs, you’ll find guestrooms that balance elegance and comfort, offering a peaceful retreat after a day exploring Bathurst’s rich tapestry. 

More Than a Stay – It’s an Experience 

Whether you’re here for business, a romantic weekend, a wedding, or just passing through on a road trip, The George offers: 

• Boutique accommodation  

• Casual yet refined dining for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, 7 days a week 

• A buzzing pub and cocktail bar perfect for sunset drinks and spontaneous catch-ups 

• Private function spaces for moments worth celebrating 

And all of it is delivered with the kind of genuine country hospitality Bathurst is known for. 

Our Story, Woven Into Bathurst’s 

The George Hotel’s story is deeply rooted in the Bathurst landscape — not just in bricks and history books, but in memories made across generations. 

From the first long-distance car trip in 1900, which started from this very corner, to today’s modern travellers seeking comfort and connection, The George has always been part of the movement — of people, of ideas, of Bathurst itself. 

We’ve seen the city grow, felt the pulse of race weekends and street festivals, and watched new faces fall in love with our historic town. And we’re proud to be part of what’s next. 

At the Heart of It All 

The George Hotel isn’t just well located — it’s at the heart of Bathurst in every way. A place to stay. A place to gather. A place to connect. 

Because in Bathurst, it’s not just about where you are — it’s about how it feels. And The George? It feels like home, with just the right amount of polish.
