Locals take their holidays and terraces are packed in. Those who stick around after surviving the intense heat of July often admire a calmer version of Paris, one that is heavily tied to its timelessness. Though, in spite of its constant churn of people, you don\u2019t have to wait until August comes around to experience a different side of the city. Filled with hidden bars and bistros, sometimes, an escape is tucked just off a busy boulevard, or in the case of the Four Seasons Hotel George V, the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es.<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Elegant rooftop dining with city views, featuring the Eiffel Tower at sunset and lush greenery in planters.\" title=\"Elegant rooftop dining with city views, featuring the Eiffel Tower at sunset and lush greenery in planters.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1663\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dd5458f0-0381-49e4-88e5-ad65bbfe5d74.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/>Four Seasons<\/p>\n<p>The view from the terrace of one of George V\u2019s remodeled suites<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"2\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">An art deco landmark, the hotel\u2019s iconic facade faces out onto the Golden Triangle, a luxury-defining area of Paris. Built in 1928, late last year, it was fully renovated for the first time since 1991, each room redesigned while maintaining its intimate feel. New French windows that fill spaces with light, two Michelin-starred restaurants, and redecorated suites. Sitting on the terrace for a quick breakfast before heading into the summer heat is the fastest way to experience the hotel\u2019s dual nature\u2014near to the heart of the city, but still a private oasis.<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Elegant hotel room with a king-size bed, chandelier, and balcony view.\" title=\"Elegant hotel room with a king-size bed, chandelier, and balcony view.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1338\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/f8420bc5-9e43-40db-9024-25bcba700468.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Four Season<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">The 8th arrondissement, where the hotel is located, is near to some of Paris\u2019 most famed historical monuments. Certain rooms, including The Penthouse and Parisian Eiffel Suite now include sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower, peeking through the clouds and bringing the city to you. It allows for a simpler approach to experiencing the pulse of a place\u2014sit on a cushioned chair looking outside or stay in bed all day looking out the window, and you\u2019re still a part of it.<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Spacious and stylish living room with elegant furnishings and soft neutral tones.\" title=\"Spacious and stylish living room with elegant furnishings and soft neutral tones.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1345\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/0ee4ea5e-8293-4bee-8f70-c1beefa1114c.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Four Seasons<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Thibault Drege, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, says \u201cThis renovation marks a significant milestone in the history of the George V.\u201d The years worth of changes made to the hotel reflect its team\u2019s commitment to being at the top of industry standards. \u201cWe didn\u2019t simply want to provide accommodation; we wanted to create authentic living spaces inspired by the elegance of Parisian apartments&#8230; The defining strength of the George V is indeed the ability to reinvent itself with discretion and precision, without ever compromising the excellence of service or the unique experience we are committed to offering our guests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"Bright, elegant interior view featuring a cozy armchair and a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower through large windows.\" title=\"Bright, elegant interior view featuring a cozy armchair and a stunning view of the Eiffel Tower through large windows.\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"5895\" height=\"3924\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/france\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ae26366c-a05f-4c6c-b4b4-6218836529a4.jpg\" class=\"css-0 e1ddfba50\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Four Seasons<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">There is a certain blend of history and contemporary elegance that only a Parisian can master. The decor in each room mirrors this attunement, with a mostly neutral color palette that makes the light bathing the walls even softer. Brocades are mixed in with solid velvet fabrics, creating a dynamic, yet homelike environment. Not to mention, when the day ends, the Carrara marble bathrooms are the perfect place to decompress and soak in the tub.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-1ood0zq emevuu60\">Though an editor\u2019s day in Paris is often filled with meetings and showrooms, if there is free a moment, a trip to the Four Season\u2019s spa is always a must. A yoga class followed by a massage clears the mind and invigorates you for the day ahead. And when you come back in the evening and fall into bed on Avenue George V, an instant feeling of comfort washes over you, one that makes you want to come back to George V time and time again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3 min read Paris empties out in August.
