Rooms are clean and comfortable, with modern furniture, memory foam mattresses, and granite and tile bathrooms, but Wi-Fi costs extra.

For more intimate accommodations, travelers could try the neighboring four-pearl Hotel Juliani.
Scene
Sleek, modern, and high-end, with bright bold design elements, and a young clientele
The George Hotel is located on a narrow St. Julian’s street, but it surrounds an atrium that brings lots of natural sunlight to the hallways and common areas. The vibe is modern and high-end, with light furnishings, rich brown and bright turquoise upholstery, contemporary chandeliers, and luxe velvet throw pillows that contribute to the stylish feel. Clientele tend to be younger, and the design reflects a bold, youthful sensibility that echoes the nightlife, clubs, and casinos in the surrounding area. Guests who need to sleep off the late nights have plenty of options, ranging from the sunny roof deck with its pretty pool and 360-degree views of the city, to the spa, with its zen-influenced indoor pool and hot tub, surrounded by inviting lounge chairs. Though the area around The George is busy 24/7, the hotel is a pocket of peace and quiet, where guests can relax and recharge for work, sightseeing, scuba diving, or a night at the casino.
