Five-star hotel, Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, located just off the historic Champs-Élysées has undergone a three-year renovation resulting in 243 completely transformed rooms and suites. This is the first renovation for the hotel since it opened in 1999 and was conducted whilst the hotel remained operational – quite an achievement.
In collaboration with renowned interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, each of the 243 rooms has been redesigned as a collection of private Parisian residences conceived to evoke the charm of a Parisian pied-à-terre offering guests the feeling of truly living in Paris. Each room or suite is spacious, bathed in natural light, refined and functional, with interiors and ambience perfectly in keeping with property’s overall understated elegance.
From family-friendly, romantic and a discreet offering, three standout suite options perfectly embody the hotel’s new vision of residential living, whilst maintaining the art-deco landmark hotel’s sense of style along with discreet behind-the-scenes care.
The Penthouse Suite: a romantic retreat overlooking the Eiffel Tower
Located on the top floor, the hotel’s iconic suite has been entirely redesigned to feel more fluid and open, allowing natural light to flood in throughout the day. The living room now extends onto a verdant balcony framed by expansive windows boasting spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower and the three private terraces showcase Paris’ most iconic landmarks in all their glory. Every detail has been meticulously thought out, including the green chenille silk sofa by J. Robert Scott; the beautifully adorned ceiling finished in softly patinated gold leaf; the boudoir-style dressing room with Baccarat wall sconces; and the sculpted marble basins, accented with floral compositions by Artistic Director Jeff Leatham. A truly serene sanctuary.
The Parisian Eiffel Suite, a family-friendly residential apartment
The new signature suite of the George V has been designed as a place where families can relax in contemporary comfort with conveniences that suit every age. The primary suite presents two connected bedrooms providing flexibility and privacy. The living space has undergone an extensive architectural transformation offering a more flowing layout that maximises views of the Eiffel Tower. A balcony and two landscaped terraces, adorned with seasonal blooms and furnished with black wrought-iron pieces by Hervé Baume, connect the suite with the outdoor world. A Calacatta Oro marble fireplace is the indoor centre-piece complimented by patinated oak Versailles parquet floors, draperies by Charles Burger and Dedar, delicate trimmings from Houlès and hand-tufted rugs.
The sumptuous bathroom is clad in white Carrara marble, accented with Baccarat crystal taps and a sculpted bas-relief of a nymph holding an amphora. The adjoining dressing room, conceived as a discreet boudoir, has a dressing table in engraved antique Murano glass by Arte Veneziana, completing the space with a touch of understated elegance.
Premier Suite: A subtle and refined transformation
Designed as a more discreet yet with an equally refined aesthetic, this is an inviting and elegant space, with subtle sophistication flowing throughout. Guests are welcomed by a semi-open library, evoking the warmth of a well-loved home. The living room retains its classic proportions while embracing a contemporary flair, with meticulously restored furnishings and complete with an emerald-green lacquered bar. The space is adorned with original works from Gérard Redoulès, antique lithographs and decorative ceramic objects.
Clad in Carrara marble, the bathroom features crystal Baccarat fittings and Lalique wall lights, bringing a lyrical elegance to the space. This sense of refinement continues in the semi-open dressing room, a built-in dressing table conjures the ambiance of a theatre dressing room further enhanced by luxurious fabrics and materials.
Pierre-Yves Rochon explains: “This residential vision profoundly redefines the very essence of the luxury hotel experience…. it’s a place to live, to make your own, to love as one would a Parisian home. Through the recent renovation work, the George V once again stands out as a place that has been greatly transformed while remaining faithful to its original character, its timeless elegance and its signature style. It’s where classic and contemporary aesthetics converge, all while continually pushing the boundaries of modern hospitality.”
Thibault Drege, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris comments: “The defining strength of the George V is indeed the ability to reinvent itself with discretion and precision, without ever compromising the excellence of service or the unique experience we are committed to offering our guests.”
