The Grand Dame of Parisian hotels, the Hôtel George V is an art deco masterpiece that first opened in 1928. The hotel was established to provide first-class accommodation and facilities to well-heeled travellers, particularly European nobility embarking on their Grand Tours and wealthy American transatlantic liner passengers visiting the city. The five-star hotel was commissioned and built to an extremely high specification, beyond the norm for hotels of the age, due to the very exacting standards and precise demands of its American owner. The hotel is a beacon on the Parisian landscape, hosting many society events and being an extremely popular destination for luxury weddings. The hotel’s grand dining room, Le Cinq, is an internationally acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurant (having as many as three stars at one point). The opulent hotel offers a range of bedrooms and suites to their discerning clientele, complemented by an array of facilities and amenities, including a spa, swimming pools, wellness centre, multiple eateries and bars, meeting rooms and a full concierge service. The hotel is a flagship in the prestigious Four Seasons portfolio, having transferred from the Forte group in 1997. The hotel has played host to a glittering list of world-famous superstars, world leaders and royalty, cementing its status as one of the world’s pre-eminent grand hotels.
