Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris has completed a major three-year transformation project that saw all its 243 rooms completely renovated for the first time since reopening in 1999. Now redesigned as a collection of private Parisian residences, each space exudes a contemporary feel and an intimate ambience. The extensive works were carried out with the utmost discretion, in keeping with the property’s signature blend of refinement, understated elegance and discreet behind-the-scenes care.
Sarmad Zok, Managing Director of Kingdom Hotel Investments (UK) Ltd (KHI), comments: “For over two decades, we have consistently invested in our iconic hotel facilities with the long-term vision of positioning them at the very pinnacle of the international hospitality market. Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris is the embodiment of that ambition – an iconic Parisian landmark that seeks to offer guests the most luxurious hotel experience in the world. In just ten years, we have introduced two Michelin-starred restaurants, launched an exceptional spa, and transformed the palace by renovating our reception halls and our collection of rooms and suites. The building now also holds international certification for its outstanding environmental performance. These significant investments reflect our unwavering commitment to maintaining this flagship of the global hotel industry at the highest standards of excellence, continuing to elevate it while staying true to its soul and timeless identity.” Thibault Drege, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris adds: “This renovation marks a significant milestone in the history of the George V. We wanted to redesign our rooms and suites with the same high standards we strive to deliver every day. We didn’t simply want to provide accommodation; we wanted to create authentic living spaces inspired by the elegance of Parisian apartments. Bathed in natural light, each space is elegant, functional, and profoundly calming. The project was carried out while the hotel remained fully operational – that’s how we approach every major transformation. 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.”
While the underlying spirit of the palace remains intact, its interior design has been refined, renewed and elevated. In collaboration with renowned interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, who has shaped the hotel’s transformations for over two decades, the palace now offers a collection of authentic private apartments. Thoughtfully conceived to evoke the charm of a Parisian pied-à-terre, each space is designed to offer guests the feeling of truly living in Paris. The newly refurbished residential spaces feature the largest guestroom layouts of any hotel in Paris, with personal workspaces, curated libraries and private dining rooms. Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the art of living in grand Haussmann-style apartments. Through a palette of soft, harmonious tones, the interiors have been reimagined with refined lines and expanded perspectives, with a seamless flow between indoors and out that draws in the spirit of Paris, a city known for its twinkling lights and timeless monuments. Through this transformation, Paris is no longer merely a backdrop to the hotel – it is now an integral part of the accommodation experience. Thanks to newly added French windows, select suites now offer breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower, the city rooftops, and the city’s grand, elegant boulevards. Natural light flows more freely, reaching deeper into the interiors and enhancing the sense of space while creating a feeling of calm and serenity. Meanwhile, balconies have been transformed into lush urban gardens. With its harmonious design and rich materials, each new room is equipped with the latest technologies, including home automation systems, customisable mood lighting, and advanced audiovisual technology. Discreet and intuitive, these features have been thoughtfully designed to ensure guests feel at home and fully connected in the most Parisian of palaces. Pierre-Yves Rochon explains: “This residential vision profoundly redefines the very essence of the luxury hotel experience. The palace is now more than a destination – it’s an address, 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.”
