The Spa at The Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris

The George V is a bastion of elegance, opulence and romance located on a refined street just off the Champs-Élysées, which seemingly attracts only those who shop there (designer boutiques), live there (fabulous homes) or dine, spa and stay at (luxury) hotels there. Inside are the most beautiful floral displays and tapestries, one of the world’s best restaurants, one of its most impressive wine cellars, and exquisite accommodations, some with terraces and spectacular views of the Eiffel Tower. On a superb subterranean level, the spa is palatially pale, creamy and gold colored and studded with marble pillars, crystal chandeliers and classical statues. It’s a mini-replica of the vast Versailles Palace complete with murals of 18th century gardens surrounding the swimming pool. While the ambiance may be old world, the facilities, treatments, service and cuisine is thoroughly modern.
