George Hotel, Kilmarnock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] George Hotel
The George Hotel was built in the 19th century and is "B" Listed. It was situated on the land at the top of Portand Street. (This land was once the home of Kilmarnock Bowling Club.) It was one of the top hotels in the area. The George was Kilmarnock's 5-star hotel. The hotel closed in 1920. There were plans for the hotel to be demolished when the Town Council purchased the property, but the plans were changed. The same year as the George Hotel closed part of the building was adapted and used as the George Cinema. The three story building still remains today, the building still looks similar to the way it did in the days of the George Hotel. Nowadays the building is used by Mason Murphy as a furniture shop and the rest of the property is a disco. <[1]
