Fodor?s, famous for travel guides, has a website at www.Fodors.com
where you can look up all sorts of things related to travel. I looked
up the Four Seasons Hotel, George, in Paris, France and here?s what
they have to say about it:
?General Eisenhower's headquarters in 1945 is now owned by a Saudi
prince (who gets first dibs on the Royal Suite) and managed by the
Four Seasons group. The hotel is as bright and shiny as the day it
opened in 1928: the original Art Deco detailing and 17th-century
tapestries have been restored; the bas-reliefs regilded; the
marble-floor mosaics rebuilt tile by tile. Rooms are decked in yards
of fabrics and Louis XV trimmings with crystal chandeliers, marble
bathrooms, and soaking tubs. The Le Cinq restaurant is one of Paris's
hottest tables, thanks to the legendary Philippe Legendre of
Taillevent fame. www.fourseasons.com. 185 rooms, 60 suites. 2
restaurants, room service, in-room data ports, in-room safes,
minibars, cable TV with video games, indoor pool, health club, hair
salon, massage, bar, shop, baby-sitting, laundry service, business
services, meeting rooms, some pets allowed, no-smoking floors. AE, DC,
