The Great George Hotel - Charlottetown/P.E.I.
The Great George is an upscale, award-winning hotel in Prince Edward’s Island capital, Charlottetown. With 54 richly decorated suites among 17 carefully restored heritage buildings, this is a property like no other.
Originally called The Regent Hotel, the property was built in 1846 by James H. Downe. A few years later, a merchant named Henry Haszard bought the building and named it The London House. In 1857, Mr. Haszard remodeled the property back into a fashionable hotel. At the height of its popularity, the Pavilion Hotel had the distinction of hosting some of the delegates from the 1864 Charlottetown Conference on Union, where Prince Edward Island became the Birthplace of Confederation.
