The earliest record on the history of the Georgian House Hotel, tells us that it only become an established hotel after the 1920's. Previously to this date it was simply known as the 'The White House' with 'Tudor cottage' attached to the side of it. Early names linked to owners of the White House include George Frederick Gordon (1770-1852) and his daughter Emma Gordon (1799-1872), Rayner Storr (1835-1917) Auctioneer, medieval and positivist, and H.W Mozley who lived at the White House until he died in 1919 and who leased 'Tudor Cottage' to Lady Dorothy Neville.

The Georgian House Hotel takes its name form Sir James Edward Oglethorpe, whose portrait stands proudly at the front of the hotel. He lived in the Town House, just up the street from the Georgian and is known locally for being an MP for Haslemere, but more commonly for founding a state in America in 1733.

With about twenty of his friends he submitted an application to King George II for a charter to establish a new colony between South Carolina and Florida. To give the proposal an added appeal to the King, the new colony would be called ' Georgia'. He himself would go to Georgia with the first settlers and supervise the foundation of the colony. So on November 16th 1732, Oglethorpe set sail from Gravesend on the ship 'Anne' with about 120 settlers. They reached the mouth of the Savannah on February 12th 1733 and Oglethorpe immediately selected a site for the first settlement, which he called Savannah.

This is reflected in the names of the suites of the Georgian House Hotel - The Savannah suite and Augusta Room, which overlook the secluded gardens, dominated by the large chestnut tree, planted in 1792, now turned into a fascinating sculpture.
