According to Drege, the award is a testament to the dedication and passion of every team member, from the concierge to the renowned chefs, who work tirelessly to ensure that each guest has a memorable stay. He highlighted the hotel’s ability to go beyond basic hospitality, fostering real connections and enhancing guests’ experiences in Paris, known worldwide as the City of Lights.
Condé Nast Traveler’s commentary praised the Four Seasons Hotel George V as a true icon of Paris, while acknowledging the modern flair that sets it apart. Despite its grand, gilded entryway and impeccably professional staff, there’s an unexpected twist of contemporary style and a bold attitude that prevents the hotel from feeling overly traditional.
Additionally, the hotel boasts a remarkable distinction: it’s the first in Europe to earn six Michelin stars across three separate restaurants. Among them is Le Cinq, which breathes new life into French classics by using lighter, more innovative ingredients and techniques.
Complementing the exquisite cuisine is the hotel’s legendary wine cellar, which houses an extraordinary 50,000 bottles, tucked away 45 feet underground—a feature that enabled its survival during the bombings of World War II.
The Readers’ Choice Awards by Condé Nast Traveler represent the voice of the travel community, honoring beloved destinations and travel experiences. The awards cover a range of categories, from hotels and resorts to airlines, airports, and even cruise lines.
Hundreds of thousands of readers take part by completing a detailed survey, rating their travel experiences on a scale from 1 to 100. For hotels, the evaluation spans several criteria including service, design, location, rooms, culinary options, and value.
This year, the survey added further dimensions like cleanliness, community engagement, concierge services, and accessibility, offering a more comprehensive assessment of the properties.
The accolade is a fitting recognition of the Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, as it continues to set the benchmark for luxury hospitality in one of the world’s most renowned cities.
