Hotel of the Week: Four Seasons George V Paris

The Four Seasons George V hotel is to Paris what the Waldorf Astoria is to New York or the Ritz is to London—it is simply “the” places to stay and be seen. The hotel was built in 1928 and converted to a Four Seasons hotel in 1999 following a two-year $125 million renovation. The original Art Deco detailing, 17th century tapestries and 18th centiry Florentine chandeliers have been restored and adorn the lobby. Marble columns and floors, museum pieces and huge fresh flower arrangements dominate the public areas. The refurbished state-of-the-art landmark hotel is located in the most fashionable quarter of Paris, steps from the Champs-Elysees and a short walk to the Arc de Triomphe, Place de la Concorde and the Eiffel Tower.
