Today's Inspiration: As part of the global Michelin Key 2025 selection, Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris saw its three Michelin keys reaffirmed by the guide’s inspectors – a coveted distinction awarded to properties that offer “an exceptional stay, becoming a destination in itself.”
The award comes at a particularly meaningful time for the hotel, following the unveiling of its newly reimagined collection of 243 rooms and suites, each elegantly redesigned by Pierre-Yves Rochon following three years of meticulous renovation work. This remarkable transformation, complemented by extensive enhancements to elevate the guest experience and service excellence, reflects the enduring ambition of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris to offer not only a luxurious stay in the heart of the French capital, but also the feeling of staying in a Parisian residence, where the George V becomes each guest’s home in Paris.
Thibault Drege, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, comments: “Following three years of renovation, we are deeply honoured that the Michelin guide inspectors have recognised the exceptional quality of our new rooms and suites, as well as the excellence of our service. This distinction celebrates the passion, talent and dedication of our teams, who work tirelessly each day to create unforgettable memories for our guests. Through their commitment and expertise, the George V has come to embody an art of service that is both thoughtful and attentive – one of the finest examples of hospitality anywhere in the world.”
Thibaut Drege, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, comments: “We are proud to receive such a prestigious distinction from the Forbes Travel Guide, which highlights the exceptional quality of our spirits and cocktail offering. Above all, it recognizes the dedication and talent of our teams who, day after day, embody the very essence of French luxury and reflect our ongoing commitment to innovation and to offering our guests a unique experience, always in keeping with the codes of elegance and refinement.”
In November 2024, Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, welcomed back Thibaut Drege as General Manager, marking his return to Paris after leading Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace Budapest for two years.
“My career has taken me all over the world, nurturing my appetite for discovering new cultures and countries. Yet, Paris holds a special place in my heart – it’s the city of my roots and where I grew up. It is a capital imbued with timeless allure, yet ever forward-looking, and I am thrilled to be returning to this extraordinary city that has shaped so much of my personal and professional identity,” commented Thibaut Drege.
A graduate of the École Hôtelière de Lausanne, Thibaut Drege has nearly two decades of experience in the luxury hospitality industry both in France and internationally.
