The hotel other palace hotels measure themselves against — an Art Deco landmark a minute from the Champs-Élysées.

The George V (1928, Four Seasons since 1999) is the flagship of the Four Seasons portfolio and, by most working definitions, the best city hotel in the world. The famous lobby florals — tens of thousands of stems, recomposed weekly — are the visible tip of a service operation that runs deeper than anywhere else in Paris: this is the hotel where staff remember a preference you mentioned once, three visits ago.
The numbers behind the legend: 244 keys, a dining trio holding five Michelin stars between them (Le Cinq, L'Orangerie, Le George), a marble pool-and-spa level fresh from the 2025–26 redesign, and entry rates around €2,000–2,600 a night — rising steeply for the terrace suites with Eiffel Tower sightlines.
Entry rooms run roughly €2,000–2,600 depending on season; suites start around €4,500 and the signature terrace suites exceed €15,000. January–February and August offer the gentlest rates.
Different propositions: the Ritz sells French romance and history; the George V sells flawless contemporary service and the best hotel dining in Europe. Service consistency favors the George V; mythology favors the Ritz.
