How does this letter-form communicate its location?

The George Hotel is a very well known location in Stamford. The Hotel features some of the best dining in the town, as well as being a very well presented hotel. The typography which sits above and across the road alongside the hotel, is as decorative as the deep history of the hotel. It features a decorative type, serif in appearance sitting on an earthy green colour which compliments the white type. The type itself is arced on the top line, and the bottom sits on the baseline of the sign.
