The George Hotel Website

Client Description

The George Hotel was established in 1854 and was Ballarat’s second licensed hotel. Located in central Ballarat, the hotel is situated in the town’s most historic streetscape on Lydiard Street North and offers patrons a variety of services including fine dining, accommodation, live music events, function rooms, cafe dining and a takeaway coffee bar.

With so many services on offer, and a need to stand out from the crowd, this website had to make The George appeal as one of Ballarat’s top venues for any number of needs. Showcasing the services and highlighting the history of the hotel were important design features, while functionality needed to consider dinner and accommodation bookings, ticket and takeaway purchases, contact options… just to name a few.
