By GlobalData“It’s authentic connection to the community, clever namesake and warm, welcoming design make it a gathering spot for guests and locals alike in one of Manhattan’s most vibrant, storied neighbourhoods.”
The George participates in Hilton Honors, the company’s guest loyalty initiative, offering instant member benefits for those booking directly through Hilton’s preferred channels.
The hotel takes its name from both George Snowden, a noted figure in Harlem’s dance history, and King George II, who authorised Columbia University’s charter in 1754.
The George at Columbia Sales and Marketing regional director Andrew Nkunku said: “The George is more than a place to stay: It is a neighbourhood hub. Through local hiring, community-focused programming, and welcoming public spaces, we’ve built something rooted in Harlem’s history.”
Hilton recently launched Outset Collection, its 25th brand, designed to meet demand for boutique hotels.
