This is the 'palace or townhouse?' question, put to two addresses 80 metres apart around avenue George V. Four Seasons Hotel George V (31 avenue George V, Palace, 3 MICHELIN Keys, 243 rooms and suites) brings together three starred restaurants (Le Cinq ★★★, L'Orangerie ★★, Le George ★), a legendary cellar and full palace life. Maison Bauchart (11 rue Quentin-Bauchart, 5-star, 10 keys), our partner house, does the opposite: a carriage door, butlers, apartments of up to 3 bedrooms for 6 guests and a spa that feels private. Fine dining, buzz and the full services of a grand palace: George V. Privacy, family, the feeling of being at home: Bauchart.

Our Verdict, Frankly
Book the Four Seasons Hotel George V if your Paris is about great tables and being part of the scene: three starred restaurants, a legendary cellar, La Galerie, terraces facing the Eiffel Tower. It is the palace experience on its grandest scale.
Book Maison Bauchart, 80 metres away, for a stay where you want the discretion of a private house: a family or several generations in a three-bedroom apartment, a spa that feels private, butlers who arrange everything. Transparency: Maison Bauchart is our official partner, and we stayed there as a family in August 2026. For a stay built around fine dining or a first grand-palace stay, we recommend the George V without hesitation, and we arrange both.

Our editorial method →FAQ — Maison Bauchart or Four Seasons George V
The Palace distinction is awarded by Atout France to exceptional 5-star hotels: the Four Seasons George V is part of the 2026 collection. Maison Bauchart is a 5-star hotel set in a Second Empire townhouse, without the Palace distinction. In practice: 243 rooms and suites, three starred restaurants and grand-hotel life on one side; 10 keys, butlers and the intimacy of a house on the other.
About 80 metres as the crow flies (OSM, October 19, 2026): the George V at 31 avenue George V, Maison Bauchart at 11 rue Quentin-Bauchart. You can stay at one and walk to dinner at the other.
Maison Bauchart, which joins connecting suites into apartments with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms for 6 guests (120 to 135 m²). The George V houses large families across several rooms or suites, with a family offer published on its website.
Six in total, checked in the MICHELIN Guide on October 19, 2026: Le Cinq ★★★ (Christian Le Squer), L'Orangerie ★★ and Le George ★. Maison Bauchart has no restaurant open to the public.
Maison Bauchart has shared its range with us: €1,600 to €4,600 per suite per night depending on category and season (October 2026, dynamic pricing). The George V quotes on request by date. The only reliable comparison is on the same dates: GADAIT quotes both side by side.
