Vive Le Roi! George V In Paris Takes Top Honors In Institutional Investor Magazine's Survey of the World's Best Hotels

New York, November 12 (ots/PRNewswire)

When Saudi prince
Al-Walid bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz bought the George V in Paris, in
1996, he declared that it was "simply the best hotel in the world."
Eight years later, the refurbished hotel, managed by Four Seasons
Hotels under a 99-year contract, is the top choice of a high-powered
panel of senior corporate and financial executives surveyed by
Institutional Investor magazine for its 24th annual ranking of the
World's Best Hotels. The Four Seasons George V, which features a
restaurant with three Michelin Guide stars and charges US$850 per
night for a room, rises from 11th in last year's ranking.
Taking second place in this year's ranking is Bangkok's Sukhothai,
which offers a restaurant set in a water garden and "seems to float
on a lotus pool," as one recent guest put it. At the third-ranked
Bel-Air of Los Angeles, the hotel's Presidential Suite is tucked away
behind a lush, 12-acre garden.
Here are the top ten hotels in the world, as ranked by respondents
to Institutional Investor's World's Best Hotels Survey.
