Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris has envisioned meticulously curated festive experiences that will once again redefine the Parisian hotel scene, blending signature flair with an innovative touch. Each experience is thoughtfully crafted to immerse guests in the magic of Christmas, with every detail designed to evoke the spirit of the season.

The hotel invites guests to discover Paris like never before with a specially curated tour aboard a vintage sidecar, blending style, adventure and festive charm. Whether enjoyed solo or with a companion, this unique experience begins at the entrance of the hotel where a sleek, retro black sidecar awaits, elegantly adorned in the signature colours of the George V. Outfitted with helmets, gloves and a pair of George V goggles, guests climb aboard for a thrilling ride through the capital – perfect for a romantic outing or a lively adventure with a close friend. Led by an expert driver, a true Parisian with an insider’s knowledge of the city, guests will glide through the city’s iconic streets, marvelling at its most dazzling holiday displays. The experience includes a glass of bubbles beneath the glittering Eiffel Tower, where guests can immortalise the moment with stunning photographs before returning to the George V.

The hotel has also created a festive experience in collaboration with Danico, Paris’s celebrated bar housed in the former Jean Paul Gautier flagship store. Ranked in the prestigious World's 50 Best Bars, Danico is one of the capital’s most fashionable bars, exuding hip New York-style vibes. Danico’s world-renowned mixologist Nico de Soto has worked closely with the hotel's bar team to create a bespoke cocktail menu that combines Danico’s bold zest and verve with the refined luxury of the hotel. Available exclusively at the George V, the drinks menu draws inspiration from the holiday season, capturing the heartwarming aromas and comforting flavours of Christmas through innovative, artfully crafted cocktails.

Among the highlights is Christmopolitan, which takes a festive twist on a classic Cosmopolitan, blending Belvedere vodka, elderflower, lemon juice, coconut water and warming spices to deliver refreshing and slightly floral notes. Another must-try is the Panettone Kir Royal, inspired by Italy’s favourite Christmas cake; its dried fruit notes perfectly capture the essence of panettone, beautifully complemented by the crisp effervescence of champagne. Fans of gingerbread will love the Gingerbread Mule, a bold creation featuring SirDavis whisky infused with gingerbread and enriched with Oloroso sherry, ginger syrup, and a splash of lemon juice. With its tangy brightness and lingering finish, this cocktail promises a true explosion of festive flavours.

Accompanying the drinks is an array of indulgent finger food, including lobster rolls, salmon hearts, and truffle-infused croque-monsieur. Live DJ sets from Thursday to Saturday further elevate the mood, infusing the venue with a contagious festive spirit and vibrant energy that promise a night to remember.

By day, the Bar transforms into one of Paris’s most iconic tea rooms, offering a warm and inviting haven that radiates the magic and charm of the holiday season. Designed by Artistic Director Jeff Leatham, the space is adorned with flickering candles, snow-dusted fir trees, and elegant wreaths in golden hues. From Thursday to Sunday, guests can savour exquisite pastries crafted by Pastry Chef Michael Bartocetti, including indulgent profiteroles, a crisp Madagascar Vanilla Millefeuille, and a luscious Tahitian Vanilla Flan. Among the chef’s most unique creations is French Toast topped with red fruits drizzled in maple syrup; another must-try is the George V waffle, a fluffy and buttery creation with rich aromatic flavours.

Sweet tooths won’t want to miss the George V's famous Hot Chocolate topped with crunchy chocolate pearls, whipped cream and marshmallows. A drinks menu will also be available with a selection of champagnes. For those who can’t resist a sweet treat, the Christmas Corner offers daily takeaway delights, including warm waffles and the iconic velvety hot chocolate – the perfect way to kick off a Parisian day with a comforting touch of holiday cheer.
