Four Seasons Hotel George V

Frommer's Review

In its latest reincarnation, with all its glitz and glamour, this hotel is one of the best in the world. The George V's history is as gilt-edged as they come. It opened in 1928 in honor of George V of England, grandfather of Queen Elizabeth. During the liberation of Paris, it housed Dwight D. Eisenhower. After its acquisition by Saudi Prince Al Waleed and a 2-year renovation, it was reopened under the banner of Toronto-based Four Seasons. The guest rooms are about as close as you'll come to residency in a well-upholstered private home where teams of decorators have lavished vast amounts of attention and money. The beds rival those at the Ritz and Meurice in comfort. It's deluxe all the way. The renovation reduced the number of units from 300 to 245, which now come in three sizes. The largest are magnificent; the smallest are, in the words of a spokesperson, "très agreeable." Each unit comes with a large bathroom with a separate tub and shower. Security is tight -- a fact appreciated by sometimes-notorious guests.
