You’ll know exactly where you are the moment you step into The George boutique hotel in College Station. From the 1791 Whiskey Bar & Restaurant to a small retail shop with Texas A&M swag and unexpected design details, this hotel truly captures Texas character and charm.

Inside the George

I love hotels that tell a story, and it makes sense that The George falls into this category. Valencia-owned and -operated hotels, including The George’s neighboring Cavalry Court hotel, have a reputation for offering guests elevated stays with individual personalities.

So, the story of The George is something like, “Welcome to College Station, where we’ll be your home base for exploring and adventuring. And we’ll do it with high-quality service, comfort and elevated design and amenities.”

The George has ambiance in spades. The hotel perfectly blends Texas A&M pride with the spirit of Texas. The lobby has a wall of red, white and blue books arranged to look like the Texas flag— amazing. My room had a wall of real denim panels. Real denim!

Throughout The George, there is a little something extra, from the softly-lit romantic rooms with elegant furnishings to a sign over the bathroom’s soaking bathtub that reads, “Cleans Up Real Nice.”

A garment steamer
Outdoor pool
Onsite restaurant

Dining at The George and Cavalry Court

As mentioned earlier, Cavalry Court is located next to The George, and the nice thing about this is that there are two separate dining options between the two.

The George: Home to 1791 Whiskey Bar & Restaurant, serving breakfast and dinner with a variety of morning favorites, followed by elevated plates in the evenings.
Cavalry Court: Home to The Canteen Bar & Grill, serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch.
