Located in the heart of Montclair, The George is a thoughtfully reimagined Georgian Inn blending historic architecture with modern, design-forward flair. Created by husband-and-wife team Steven Plofker and Bobbi Brown, the boutique hotel reflects Brown’s signature eye for elevated style—featuring curated furnishings, hand-selected products, and a warm, contemporary aesthetic that honors the building’s storied past. Just 12 miles west of New York City, it offers guests a sophisticated yet approachable escape with easy access to Montclair’s restaurants, boutiques, and vibrant cultural scene.
The hotel’s modern-meets-classic interiors create an atmosphere that feels both polished and personal, making it a standout among boutique hotels in Northern New Jersey. Each room is uniquely designed with upscale finishes, luxurious linens, and thoughtful amenities pulled from Bobbi Brown’s favorite brands.

Its central location in Montclair’s walkable city center allows guests to experience the best of the destination—independent shops, renowned restaurants, art venues, and leafy neighborhood streets—while still enjoying the peaceful refinement of a boutique, design-led hotel.
