The George in Rye

The George in Rye The George is the most luxurious of Rye hotels. Relax in one of our individually designed rooms. Rye itself is unlike any other town in England.
(1617)

Located in the centre of Rye, East Sussex, the hotel was recently renovated to create one of the most stunning hideaways on the south coast. The building dates from 1575 and has enviable heritage; it even has an original Georgian ballroom used for lavish weddings and banquets. An eclectic and contemporary design has been given to this historic fabric using a wide range of antique and modern furnit

ure, materials and local art. The result is a comfortable blend of old and new, creating an atmosphere which is relaxed, informal and individual. A medieval townscape locked in time and with a fascinating history, it offers a great escape for relaxation or romance. Four miles from the white beach of Camber Sands the sea air is wonderful any time of year. With plenty to occupy you for a few nights, we look forward to welcoming you at The George in Rye.

“I didn’t think I liked yellow until I stayed at The George in Rye and wow what a revelation! ... 💛 we had a lovely stay in Rye with family, eating until our heart’s were content...mooching round the shops and walking down to the sea for some fresh air 🌊 would recommend - delicious food, lovely staff, Verden products in the bathrooms, good sheets and beautiful decor (I want to steal those tiles from the bathroom and now I’m wondering what I can paint yellow!).”

Halloo from Hastings 👋

A beautiful historic seaside town with a lovely pebble beach and lots to enjoy.

Only 30mins away by car or why not cycle or bus there?

You can stop off at along the way - it’s a celebration of real ale, cider, music and a community celebrating its turbulent tussle with temperance...
