George Hotel is located right in the heart of Huddersfield. Being only a 6 minute drive from Junction 24 off the M62, it is both easily accessible and convenient. Huddersfield Rail Station is only a stone’s throw from the building and offers excellent transport links to the rest of the country. For those flying in, the nearest major Airport is at Manchester, roughly a 50 minute drive away, or there’s Leeds Bradford International Airport, a little over 30 minutes by car. The George Hotel is privileged enough to have everything the town of Huddersfield has to offer right on its’ doorstep. A true Yorkshire town, it is home to strong traditions, exciting festivals and some impressive architecture. It is also the spiritual home of Rugby League and the nearby Galpharm Stadium is the home ground of local team the Huddersfield Giants as well as Huddersfield Town F.C. The Lawrence Batley Theatre features a stunning array of different productions, from classic theatrical productions and Opera to rib-tickling comedy and contemporary dance. Greenhead Park is only half a mile from the town centre and is the perfect place to unwind, relax and enjoy the scenic beauty or the fantastic leisure facilities.
A 16 minute drive from the hotel is Eureka! The National Museum for Children in the town of Halifax. It features over 400 interactive exhibits designed to inspire children to learn about themselves and the world around them through imagination, plan and discovery. Further afield is the windswept region of heather and wild moors known as Bronte Country, famous for inspiring the Bronte sisters’ classic works of literature. Visitors can discover more about their lives and novels at the Bronte Parsonage Museum in the village of Haworth. Heading south, less than 7 miles from Huddersfield is the picturesque town of Holmfirth famous as the location of the popular BBC series ‘Last of the Summer Wine’. There’s more to Holmfirth than just Compo, Cleggy and Foggy, including many delightful gift shops and craft galleries as well as a wide variety of eateries, restaurants and traditional English public houses
