The George Hotel, a Grade II⚹ listed Huddersfield hotel, will undergo further renovations next month as it prepares for a reopening under Radisson Hotel Group.
The hotel will become the first Radisson Red hotel in the Yorkshire and Cumber region.
Historically seen as the birthplace of the rugby league in 1895, the property has been left vacant since 2013, until it was bought by Kirklees Council in 2020. The objective is to restore the building, following the council’s plans to transform the town centre through a wealth of new developments including transport upgrades and housing.
Once renovated, the hotel is expected to offer 108 guest rooms, as well as a restaurant and bar. The facilities will also include gym and conference rooms to attract a range of visitors.
The £30 million deal will protect the building’s longstanding architecture, whilst also rebuilding its appeal for guests.
Councillor Graham Turner, cabinet member for Finance and Regeneration, said: “The transformation of the George Hotel is one of the major projects of the Huddersfield Blueprint and regenerating the town centre. It is a gateway building into the town which, when renovated, can boost our local economy and be perfectly placed for visitors to stay.
“We want to proudly celebrate our town’s rich history and will soon want people to help create the look and feel of the building, so it represents our heritage, identity and character that makes our community unique.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.

Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
