The George in Rye

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful town - located in the centre of Rye - the George in Rye was recently renovated to create one of the most stunning hideaways on the south coast.
The focus of the bedrooms is on comfort and style - each being individually designed with its own fabrics - colour scheme and bespoke furniture - Marble-top baths with chrome power showers and Aveda products - and a few gadgets to complete the experience - flat screen LCD TVs - a luxurious with some offering feature beds and walk-in showers.
The restaurant and bar form the heart of the hotel - The Head Chef - Rod Grossmann previously worked at Moro in London. The menu has clear Mediterranean influences and the food is presented simply with great respect for fresh and seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms and the trawlers of Rye Bay. The bar also offers a large range of wines and champagnes by the glass, including those from vineyards in East Sussex and Kent.
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 furniture, materials and local art.
