George Hotel, Grade II* listed hotel in Huddersfield, England.

The four-story sandstone building features an Italianate façade with seven bays on the front and three on each side, topped by a Mansard roof.

Built between 1848 and 1850, the George Hotel replaced the earlier George Inn after the opening of Huddersfield railway station in 1847.

The establishment gained recognition as the founding location of rugby league in 1895 when northern clubs gathered to form their own governing body.

The renovation project will expand the hotel to 91 rooms, adding conference facilities, a restaurant seating 70 guests, and a ground floor reception area.

Artist L.S. Lowry created sketches on restaurant napkins during his stays at the hotel throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
