Four Seasons George V, 31, Avenue George V, Metro: George V.
A visit to the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris may not be on many tourists' must-see lists. But, it was on mine. I couldn't wait to catch a glimpse of the beautiful floral creations in the hotel lobby.
My intrigue with the hotel's blooms started with Oprah when she interviewed the hotel's artistic director Jeff Leatham about how he found his dream job. This was my first introduction to his awe-inspiring floral displays. I was instantly hooked.
At the hotel, guests are lured in by Leatham's display of hundreds of pale green hydrangeas and bamboo standing tall in green-tinted vases of varying heights. The bold and modern centerpiece seems to be right at home among the property's classic furnishings and decor.
Around every corner there is another imaginative vignette to discover. But, one glimpse of the hotel's courtyard reveals the show-stopper. Bejeweled purple orchids, with their roots exposed, hang still from tall metal stands.
