First the food, then the service.īread: I couldn’t leave this out, not this pretty, elegant, diverse bunch of bread. The furnishings are grand, the linens fine, the silverware immaculate, the food spectacular and yet the atmosphere emits a very humble elegance made possible by the warm and welcoming staff that I was given the opportunity to know over the nine course dinner, excluding the carbohydrate basket that I absolutely devoured. Within the first year, a prestigious second star came along. Only a couple of months after opening, the kitchen and best tables in town were awarded the first star. The hotel’s critically acclaimed eatery even outshines most Michelin Star restaurants by having been awarded not one, but two. Whatever you have in mind, I assure you Le Cinq will outshine the dishes any day of the week, any month of the year. It’s a fun game to play, going down memory lane conjuring up the most memorable steak houses, homemade cooking, romantic dinners for two. Think back for a moment on what’s been the best dinner of your life to date. After wrapping up in a plush terry-cloth robe and slippers, head on out to the spacious terrace and take in the Parisian skyline, the third Eiffel Tower view from suite 631. The longer one soaks, the more wrinkles one receives.

Moving past the ample closet space is the marble-clad bathroom stocked full of Bvulgari products and, oh my…a second Eiffel Tower view worth soaking for. Lastly, yes, this bed is as comfortable as it looks, and it’s extremely hard to get out of in the morning. If you’ve missed it, you’re the most unobservant person on the face of the planet. Sliding doors materialize the continuation of the calming blue hues, a massive bed, and the focal point of the room: the Eiffel Tower view. The space is generous, coming complete with a full bar and culinary delights on arrival. Upon gracing this corner suite, you’ll walk into a living area complete with office space, lounge quarters, makeshift yoga studio, what have you. If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve most likely already seen my Four Seasons Paris twitter tour, so bear with me for a moment. Who gets to wake up in a billion thread count sheets, pull back the curtains and see the world’s most iconic landmark? Lucky guests who are booking rooms at the George V, that’s who. Suite 631 would spoil even North West and Prince George’s love child. Would they take in the Eiffel Tower view from the bedroom, the bathtub, or the wrap-around terrace? I took it in from all three and thought this was one of the most unique room features I’ve ever come across. With additional items ranging from hypoallergenic pillow menus to in-room bread toasting services (they know their pastries), choice is a beautiful thing here at Four Seasons Paris. They are lavish and expansive and opulent and regal and deserve to be singled-out, as the hotel houses the largest guest rooms in all of Paris. They aren’t simply beautiful, for this adjective could describe any 5 star hotel on the street. The eight-story landmark was originally built in 1928 and after undergoing a massive renovation, reopened its doors in 1999 with 244 beautiful guest rooms. As for me, I only stayed at the George V for a few days, but I’m going to go ahead and call myself beyond fortunate to have been welcomed as a guest into the establishment that redefined luxury for the City of Light. Bright and inviting lobbies make way to amenity-filled suites that transport the traveler to a luxurious home-away-from-home for a few days or, weeks if you’re lucky. Greeted by smiles and pleasantries before even stepping out of the transport, each and every guest is swept away to a dream world of magic as check-in draws near. The proof is in Four Seasons Hotel George V, the iconic hotel perfectly placed in the city’s 8th arrondissement. Of all the destinations in the world, Paris radiates elegance like no other.
