Four Seasons Hotel George V review: 244 rooms including 59 suites near the Champs-Élysées, Le Cinq's three Michelin stars, six stars total across three restaurants, and who should book the avenue address over Place de la Concorde or the Left Bank.
Four Seasons Hotel George V is a 244-room and suite hotel at 31 Avenue George-V near the Champs-Élysées, opened in 1928, with 59 suites, 30 rooms with a balcony or terrace, and three Michelin-recognized restaurants totaling six stars, led by Le Cinq's three-star kitchen under chef Christian Le Squer.
The verdict
Four Seasons Hotel George V pairs 244 rooms and suites — the largest guest-room footprints in Paris — with Le Cinq's three-Michelin-star kitchen on the Champs-Élysées corridor, a trade-off against the Place de la Concorde or Left Bank address some travelers want instead.
Who should book
In favour
- Travelers anchoring a Paris stay to the Champs-Élysées corridor rather than Place de la Concorde or the Left Bank
- Anyone who wants Le Cinq's three-Michelin-star kitchen and the hotel's other two Michelin-recognized restaurants on-site
- Guests booking the suite floor — the Royal Suite's private terrace or the Eiffel Tower Suite's panoramic terrace are among the largest suite layouts in Paris
Worth knowing
- Travelers set on Place de la Concorde or a Left Bank address — the George V is a Right Bank, avenue-facing hotel; look at the Crillon or a Left Bank property instead
- Anyone booking a base room expecting Eiffel Tower or Grand Palais views — those views are reserved for select suite categories
- Confirmed current suite availability before booking — the Royal and Eiffel Tower suites move with season and demand
The property and location
The hotel sits at 31 Avenue George-V in the 8th arrondissement, a short walk from the Champs-Élysées. It was founded in 1928 and is today owned by Prince Al Waleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud. The Right Bank, avenue-facing address suits travelers anchoring a stay to the Champs-Élysées corridor; those set on Place de la Concorde or a Left Bank base should look elsewhere.
Rooms and suites
The hotel has 244 rooms in total, including 59 suites and 30 rooms with a balcony or terrace — among the largest guest-room layouts in Paris, filled with natural light and residential-style furnishings. Select suites carry oversized French windows facing the Eiffel Tower; the Royal Suite has an oversized living room and private terrace, and the Eiffel Tower Suite has a panoramic terrace accessible from the living area. Other suites overlook the Panthéon, the Opéra, or the Grand Palais.
