The George Wright is a new boutique hotel which has just opened in Rotherham 

The George Wright is housed in a Grade II-listed building behind the High Street on Snail Hill in Rotherham. The building had remained empty since sustaining fire damage in the 1990s.

The George Wright is now a seven- bedroom boutique hotel.

The George Wright has a gallery restaurant with an open kitchen offering fine-dining for up to 80 people plus a gin and whisky bar.

The George Wright also features a meetings and events room that can accommodate up to 150 people.

The building first opened in 1810 as offices for George Wright & Co, designers and manufacturers of stoves and fireplaces. It has also been legal offices and was last used as a pub and restaurant in the mid-1990s.

The renovation has reinstated a lot of the original brickwork, natural stone and timber. The original fireplaces have also been left exposed to help keep the ‘feel’ of the building.

The George Wright is located in the centre of Rotherham in South Yorkshire, a short walk from Rotherham Central station.
