A landmark in george
A historic hotel, reimagined for modern stays.
Nestled in the leafy suburb of Heatherlands at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains, The Hawthorn Boutique Hotel is one of George's most storied addresses — a landmark property that has graced the Garden Route since the 1940s, lovingly restored to its former grandeur and reimagined for the modern traveller.


Old-world charm meets contemporary luxury in every corner of this celebrated five-star retreat. Manicured gardens, a sparkling swimming pool, and beautifully considered interiors create a sense of arrival that lingers long after checkout. Linger over a long lunch at The Forester Restaurant with its sweeping garden views, unwind in our intimate whisky and wine tasting room, or raise a glass in the Pronk Bar as the Garden Route evening settles in.
For those seeking a venue as memorable as the occasion itself, The Hawthorn offers grand conference facilities, intimate executive boardrooms, and a wedding venue with a growing international reputation.
Warm hospitality. Timeless elegance. Unmistakably Hawthorn.
