The George Hotel, which is currently under construction in Georgetown, South Carolina, has been added to the growing portfolio of boutique hotels. IRHG will manage the outdoor bar, full-service restaurant, and Catering operations at the hotel.
The George is the first hotel in the state of South Carolina. We are honored to be given the opportunity to deliver our experience-driven, high-touch hospitality in such a beautiful city.
The George will have 56 rooms, a full-service restaurant and bar on the Front Street side of the property, a waterfront event space and bar, and an activity lawn. Guests will be able to fish and sail in Winyah Bay, and boaters will have access to the hotel's amenities, as the hotel will have marina access.
The project began in February of 2022. The building that Winyah Hospitality purchased from Georgetown Times is being torn down. The property is expected to open in the spring of 2023.
They are viewed as one of the top food and beverage groups. We knew it was a perfect fit from the beginning and look forward to continuing to work with their talented team on the concept for restaurant and event space as we get further along with the development.
The George's interior design firm has tapped Jenny Keenan Design, which is known for its work at properties in the Charleston area, including The Spectator Hotel. The firm is drawing inspiration from Georgetown's maritime legacy and combining it with the lifestyle of the neighboring barrier islands of the South Carolina Lowcountry.
The idea of bringing a sophisticated food and beverage experience to a small city hotel in a beautiful port city like Georgetown is something we love.
