巴黎著名皇宫酒店乔治V20世纪90年代末的翻新，并不黄金加身，也非流光溢彩。但，为期两年的翻新项目总耗资高达1.25亿美元，却让人对翻新成果浮想联翩。
乔治V的整修是当时法国规模最大的建筑项目，对酒店业主、四季大股东阿尔瓦利德王子殿下及其王国控股公司而言，这是一场风险，但却经过了审时度势。客房数从300减至245，房间体积和浴室则相应增大，基础设施更新，增加双层窗户。柔和的绿、蓝或黄色调将古典风法式家俬点染得刚刚好。翻修设计师理查德?马尔蒂纳和室内设计师皮埃尔?伊万?罗切同系巴黎人。大堂的装饰艺术之美发肤无损，大理石图案的地板和修复后的挂毯却属新增元素。酒店重建亦着眼于招徕更多商务活动：会议空间经精心设计，硬木地板、摆满成排书籍的墙壁、仿古壁炉和木镶板，如此知性，如此文雅。
There was no gilt or gilding in the late-1990s renovation of Paris' famed palace hotel， the George V. But you might think so， based on the cost of the two-year project， which totaled US$125 million.
The George V renovation became one of the biggest construction projects in France at the time； it was also a thoughtful risk for His Royal Highness Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and his Kingdom Holding， which owned the hotel， and the Four Seasons， in which the prince was a major shareholder. The number of guestrooms was reduced to 245 from 300； room sizes and their bathrooms became bigger， infrastructure was updated and double-glazed windows were added. Muted color palettes in green， blue or yellow served as a balance to the more classically inspired French furnishings. The architect of the renovation was Richard Martinet， and the interior designer was Pierre-Yves Rochon， both of Paris. The aim was "to keep the essence of what the hotel was， but make it cleaner， better"， Rochon said. The lobby's art deco aesthetic was retained， but a marble patterned floor and restored tapestries were added. The hotel was also redeveloped with an eye toward attracting more business： meeting spaces were meticulously designed and included hardwood floors， book-lined walls， antique fireplaces and wood paneling.
