History & Heritage
Inaugurated in 1928, the George V immediately established itself as an exceptional address in the French capital. Designed by architect Georges Wybo, this hotel reflected the modernist momentum of the interwar period while remaining rooted in the traditions of high-end hospitality. The current owner, Kingdom Holding Company, continues this vision by maintaining the excellence standards of a Palace accredited by Atout France.
Architecture & Design
The work of Georges Wybo, marked by the major architectural movements of the early 20th century, reveals itself through the details: luminous façades and carefully calibrated interior arrangements. The omnipresent floral compositions enrich the spaces with an artistic vitality that renews season after season.
The In-House Experience
With 303 rooms, including 59 suites, this establishment offers much more than luxurious accommodations: a total experience. The rooms combine renowned craftsmanship with modern amenities. The suites, true urban retreats, open onto balconies or terraces, offering views of the avenue or peaceful inner courtyards.
In a context where Palace service reaches an art form, the details matter — from the floral arrangements that enliven the lobby to the discreet yet constant attentions throughout your stay.
Dining
Gastronomy becomes an art here, with six culinary addresses that reflect the excellence of the hotel:
- **Le Cinq**: Triple Michelin-starred and led by Christian Le Squer, this French fine dining restaurant offers inspiring dishes such as a revolution of onion soup or lobster accompanied by a sauce infused with yellow wine. - **Le George**: One Michelin star, this Mediterranean restaurant, directed by Simone Zanoni, invites you to enjoy light and inventive cuisine. - **L’Orangerie**: Awarded two stars, this venue celebrates the fusion of flavours and nature in an intimate and calming setting. - **La Galerie**: A place for contemplation and tasting, perfect for enjoying the pastry creations of Michael Bartocetti, including the famous Christmas log. - **Le Bar**: Offering ingenious cocktails, such as the "Seventy One Eau de Nuit", a grapefruit-infused creation. - **Bar du George V**: Thibaut Mequignon blends tradition and inventiveness in sophisticated cocktails.
