The George Hotel
Historic Ballarat's number one place to dine, stay, celebrate and connect.

Behind our heritage facade on Lydiard Street North, you'll find boutique accommodation, a handful of distinct bars and dining spots, and event spaces built for everything from a quiet catch-up to a full-blown celebration.
