The George Hotel is a Grade 2 listed building
closed since 2013. It’s strategic location adjacent to the
Railway station and gateway to Huddersfield affords an opportunity
to redevelop the Hotel as a mixed-use facility including offices
and leisure facilities. The Hotel plays a prominent role in the
delivery of the Huddersfield Blueprint, a ten-year masterplan to
modernise the town centre. Acquisition and essential remedial works
for the George will provide an investment opportunity to deliver a
better balanced town centre, new and improved Grade A office space,
and act as a catalyst for the wider regeneration of the town
centre.
