If you are lucky enough to be checking into the Four Seasons George V Hôtelin Paris, you will most certainly notice the over the top floral displays that they are known for.
Lest anyone assume I was actually STAYING at the George V, I was only there for an appt. to photograph the flowers for FLower Magazine. It was something I won't forget. Amazingly beautiful hotel and floral displays.
Okay, the flowers were not the first thing I noticed in this photo! I think, even if I had more money than I knew what to do with, I could never justify staying at the Georges V hotel. Thanks for that glimpse into the hotel though. Want to play along with Dreaming of France today? Here’s my Dreaming of France meme
I find it difficult to believe people actually waste their money on this place. For what it would cost to stay here for a week, you could have s fabulous apartment for a month. I suspect most don't use their own money.
Love the flower detail in this image!

A taller vase could not exist bien sur.
ReplyDeletelove the woman partly hidden by the vase, she looks so very European
ReplyDeleteI can never disassociate the George V from Meg Ryan at the counter in French Kiss...you caught the elegance here!
ReplyDeletegosh - that's a tall order.... :)
ReplyDeletemy 1st thought was: The poor receptionist - he NEVER sees the flowers in that tall vase. But amazing it is!
Funny, I can see you at the G5... just as I wd never see me there - but I've taken lots of pics from the outside (does that count?)
I'm thinking it's not likely I'll see them first hand, but it's nice to imagine!

ReplyDeleteI doubt I'll ever be checking in, but that needn't stop me from taking a look-see around—and I will next time!

ReplyDeleteSuch opulence! I can only dream of staying somewhere like that.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is fabulous! Sometimes over the top is a great thing! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this picture!
ReplyDeleteIt is a very elegant place, of course, but that high vase seems silly to me. The tapestry behind the counter looks like it would be a beauty.

ReplyDeleteHi Virginia,
ReplyDeleteHow I wish not one careless guest will cause that vase to fall...the flower is lovely!
