Commenting on his appointment, Edouard says, "I am deeply honoured to join Four Seasons, and even more so to contribute to the continued radiance of such a legendary hotel as George V, which so perfectly embodies French excellence and luxury. Beyond the property itself, it is above all the women and men who bring it to life that inspire me. Our employees are the very essence of service, and I am committed to supporting, developing and empowering them.

Without their expertise, dedication, and energy, no genuine emotion can be created for our guests. I firmly believe that success can only be collective; this is my guiding principle. And because everything begins with human connection, I like to say that my office is the lobby."

Thibaut Drege, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, adds, "We are delighted to welcome Edouard to Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris.
