Simone Zanoni became Chef of Le George in September 2016, after spending eight years as Chef at three Michelin star restaurant Gordon Ramsay in London, and two Michelin star restaurant Gordon Ramsay au Trianon in Versailles. Zanoni has infused the highly popular menu at Le George with his own personal influences and inspirations, identifying distinctive Mediterranean flavors and instilling a sense of place with each dish. In Zanoni’s view, a dish is made memorable “when you have put your heart into it and created a journey of flavors”.

The Michelin star received today, just eight months following our opening is a reward that honors the tireless work of our teams to create dishes that pay homage to nature and the changing seasons.’

Most Prestigious Presidential Suites Around the World

It’s President’s Day!  This special day of political reverence actually makes us wish we were reveling in a long weekend… in one of the world’s most prestigious Presidential Suites.  Which ones are those?  Check out these super luxe living quarters we’re gawking at from around the globe:

Intercontinental Hong Kong  (Hong Kong, China)

Arguably Asia’s most stunning presidential suite, InterContinental Hong Kong‘s luxury five-bedroom 7,000 square feet space offers personal butler service, a gym, a private study, and a dining room. Step into your rain forest shower — or rejuvenate in the private sauna and steam room — all located in the suite’s bathroom. Or head out onto your rooftop terrace to take advantage of an infinity pool, Jacuzzi, and the beautiful Hong Kong skyline.

St. Regis New York  (New York, New York)

Every hotel in the Big Apple boasts about its Presidential Suite, but the St. Regis offers an exceptional experience and new design. Live large in its three bedrooms and four bathrooms, plus a wood-paneled library, full kitchen, dining room, and stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of Central Park, 55th Street, and Fifth Avenue. Your recently renovated room now has a 300-square-foot spa–inspired bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub. And since you’re playing Mr./Mrs. President, you’ll receive a complimentary bottle of Champagne and in-room movies.

The Raj Palace  (Jaipur, India)

There are actually two presidential suites at The Raj Palace, but while the Shahi Mahal (which is rumored to be the grandest!) recently underwent renovations, Maharaja’s Pavilion is more than satisfactory. Enter the four-floor 16,000-square-foot apartment from a private entrance to find a private lounge and bar on the first floor, second floor museum, library and dining room on the third floor, and private spa and rooftop terrace with a Jacuzzi at the top.  Gold and silver furniture and lavish chandeliers decorate the suite, which also comes with private butler service and an elevator to take guests to all four floors.

Four Seasons Hualalai (Kailua-Kona, Hawaii)

Walk right from the comfort of your four-bed bungalow to the beach at this Four Seasons Hualalai Presidential Villa.  Delight in your master bedroom’s outdoor lava-rock shower — along with glass-door access to the lanai — which has its own hot tub. View the Pacific Ocean from the many floor-to-ceiling windows.  And relax and breathe in the freshness from your own open-air living room.

Mandarin Oriental Tokyo (Tokyo, Japan)

Things are top notch in Tokyo, where the Mandarin Oriental Tokyo’s suite boasts goose-down bedding and Egyptian cotton linens and bathroom with a walk-in shower and heated floors — along with a Jacuzzi positioned to let you admire the Tokyo skyline.  Spectacular views continue with the suite’s floor-to-ceiling windows, and curated commissioned art, in the living room.  Other amenities include an eight-seat dining room, interactive entertainment system, and walk-in closet.

Hotel Principe di Savoia (Milan, Italy)

From your private elevator, you’ll access your 5,400-square-foot Presidential Suite atop the Hotel Principe di Savoia, filled with antique furniture, French crystal furnishings, and Venetian XIX century mirrors. Lounge in your Jacuzzi, bath whirlpool, and private Pompeian-inspired spa or take a romp around your other three bedrooms, formal dining room, and well appointed bar.

Belmond Grand Hotel Europe (St. Petersburg, Russia)

Late last year, the Belmond Grand Hotel Europe debuted the largest presidential suite in St. Petersburg, a work of art, with gold-leaf ceiling design and gorgeous views.  But additional perks truly make it fit for a royal presidential stay —  like a private fitness center (including a treadmill and cycling machine), sauna, game room, study and  library (with a hidden bookcase/secret entrance to one of the bedrooms), grand piano, and catered meals in the eight-seat dining room.

St. Regis Abu Dhabi (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates)

Want a stay with some suspense?  Literally?   Book this highest suspended hotel suite in the world, located at the St. Regis Abu Dhabi.  The lavish suite connects the Nations Towers of the hotel at 656 feet above the ground, allowing you to take in breathtaking 360-degree views of the Arabian Gulf and Abu Dhabi skyline.  There’s also an exercise gym, a private spa, crystal chandeliers and 24-carat gold accents in the Grand Drawing Room, and a grand staircase leads to the Master Suite on the second floor.

Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris (Paris, France)

The Four Seasons Paris has three presidential suites to choose from, each with bonus amenities like a private fitness room, extra-large living room, or spacious office space. All of the suites offer giant marble bathrooms with a steam room, sauna, and bidet and are designed with the gorgeous fabrics, crystal chandeliers, beautiful paintings, fresh bouquets of flowers and that extravagance you’d expect from Parisian hospitality.

The Hazelton Hotel (Toronto, Canada)

The Hazelton Hotel suite’s three-bedroom, four-bathroom space has a private elevator and steam shower, an expansive terrace, grand foyer, and wine cellar.  With both an indoor and outdoor kitchen, guests can serve a fancy meal in their dining room or hire executive chef Mark McEwan to cook directly in the suite.

Jay Rayner embarasses self in search of internet fame

There appears to be a review going viral delivering a scathing account of aspiring Pete Wells’ impersonator Jay Rayner’s dining experience at Le Cinq. The review, however, is an example of restaurant critic-ing at its worst, and while multi-course fine dining may be losing its luster in our gram-obsessed food culture, the article better attests the decline in relevance of professional food critique as opposed to a genuine experience at Le Cinq. Jay Rayner Sean Spicer’s an attempt at Anthony Bourdain’s unrestrained bluntness and Pete Wells’ cool-kid disaffection, and reveals himself rube. He substitutes vulgarity for substance and sacrifices his credibility to pander to the ignorant. 

I had the opportunity to dine at Le Cinq in April 2015 just after Chef Christian Le Squer took over the kitchen and installed the current menu. I’ll admit the price tag for a meal at Le Cinq is galling, and it’s reasonable to question whether any meal is worth such so much, but Jay Rayner clearly approached this review in bad faith (or he’s a remarkably ignorant diner). 

Let’s go to the play by play:

There is only one thing worse than being served a terrible meal: being served a terrible meal by earnest waiters who have no idea just how awful the things they are doing to you are.

Jay wastes no time exposing his inspiration for this click bait. Pete Wells also opened his viral review of Per Se with a complaint about service. Except, Pete went to Per Se three times and had a legitimate complaint about consistently nonchalant service. Jay meanwhile decides to denigrate the professionals at Le Cinq with minimal evidence through the rest of his review. 

To provide an actual anecdote from Le Cinq, I’d describe the waiters as brusque in a way only the French can get away with. That said, they executed a near flawless service a la russe with courses for my wife and I served so the plates touched the tables simultaneously and never a napkin left attended. Moreover, adjacent to our table, I watched them treat a foreign couple and their child, who clearly did not appreciate the formality of the dining establishment, with completely equal care not once making them feel out of place. The service at Le Cinq was truly impeccable in a way I’ve experienced at few other restaurants, and whether you appreciate it or not, part of the price tag. 

And so, to the flagship Michelin three-star restaurant of the George V Hotel in Paris, or the scene of the crime as I now like to call it. 

I wanted to call this out because Le Cinq was a two-star Michelin restaurant when I dined there. It received a third star in February 2016 and retained it this year. While there are criticisms of the Michelin reviewers and no objective measure of how stars are assigned, one star generally means the food is very good in its category. To get two stars, you need both great food and service. To get three, great food, service, and “something extra”. In Anthony Bourdain’s Kitchen Confidential, he actually quotes renowned chef, Scott Bryan, as saying he doesn’t want a third star because he’s not interested in being that creative. Keep that in mind as Jay Rayner tries to condescend the very creativity that Chef Le Squer was rewarded with a third star for. 

Irritated by reader complaints about the cost of eating out I decided to visit a classic Parisian gastro-palace, as a reality check. I imagined it less as review, and more as an observational piece, full of moments of joy and bliss, of the sort only stupid amounts of cash can buy.

The classic line of the prejudiced, state upfront that you’re not judging exactly what you’re judging. As a professional restaurant critic, Mr. Rayner ought to be well aware of what “stupid amounts of cash” can buy. Let’s be honest, food is food. Ingredients can only be so local and so fresh, and to some extent, put together in only so many ways. A huge portion of the expense of fine dining is the theatrics, but Mr. Rayner appears to have no appreciation for it whatsoever, or at least no interest in objectively recounting it to his readers. It’s clear he intends this piece as red meat for the very readers he’s supposedly “irritated” by.

There’s a little gilt here and there, to remind us that this is a room designed for people for whom guilt is unfamiliar. It shouts money much as football fans shout at the ref. 

This is the restaurant in a Four Seasons Hotel for which the Four Seasons brand wasn’t luxurious enough so they named it after a King. What was Jay expecting? The meeting house for the Jacobin Club? 

There’s a stool for the lady’s handbag. Well, of course there is.

Yes, because that is part of the whimsy of dining in an establishment predicated on treating you like royalty. You can’t go to a restaurant, wonder about what “stupid amounts of cash can buy”, and then be disappointed that it’s all a little too Marie Antoinette.  

Menus the height of Richard Osman are brought. My female companion, who booked the table, is given one without prices. Waiters look baffled when we protest, but replace it.

Though Jay writes this like a service mistake, this is called a “ladies menu.” It’s an anachronism, but it is part of the theatrics of Le Cinq, a modern take on Louis XIV opulence - so yes handbag stools, menus without prices for guests, and waiters that pull out a lady’s chair are part of the experience. Totally understand if you’re not excited to indulge nostalgia for bourgeois and patriarchy, but then why are you at Le Cinq in the George V Hotel? 

At the end there are some pleasant enough chocolates. At these prices there should be.

By “pleasant enough chocolates,” he means a three tier petits fours cart full of homemade marshmallows, bonbons, nougat, and chocolate that would intimidate even Augustus Gloop. This comes after multiple dessert courses and a similarly overflowing cheese cart, attended by an almost too enthusiastic fromager. My wife and I were so stuffed, we asked to have them pack two of everything into a dainty chocolate box to take home (which they gladly obliged). If this is what Jay meant by “at these prices there should be,” then I agree. 

The canapé we are instructed to eat first is a transparent ball on a spoon. It looks like a Barbie-sized silicone breast implant, and is a “spherification”, a gel globe using a technique perfected by Ferran Adrià at El Bulli about 20 years ago.

In another example of Jay’s overreach for effect, spherification was invented in 2003 and improved on through 2005, so I guess 12-14 years rounds to “about 20.” 

Jay’s calculexia aside. He’s clearly straining for fine dining cred by name dropping El Bulli and trying to act like spheres are so over. First, El Bulli was considered one of the greatest restaurants ever and is now closed so why can’t another high end chef pay homage? Second, I’ve only had spheres at other fine dining establishments (and a pickleback in Williamsburg) so I’m not sure this is a disqualifying menu choice. 

This one pops in our mouth to release stale air with a tinge of ginger. My companion winces. “It’s like eating a condom that’s been left lying about in a dusty greengrocer’s,” she says. 

Jay’s version of the Pete Well’s “bong water” description, except it doesn’t come close to being appropriate (in any sense). I’m fairly certain the amuse he’s referring to is a campari and orange “air bag” so for anyone with a palate “greengrocer” is probably the furthest you could be from apt. Moreover, because it’s a “cocktail in a bubble”, it was meant to be served as part of a champagne course (yes, that’s how a meal at Le Cinq starts), a note that both Jay and his knows-what-used-condoms-in-their-mouth-feel-like companion seem to have forgotten. 

Spherifications of various kinds – bursting, popping, deflating, always ill-advised – turn up on many dishes. It’s their trick, their shtick, their big idea. It’s all they have.

This is true, Le Cinq’s schtick is spherifications. I know spheres have almost as bad a rep as foams, but they are a reasonably challenging technique that you don’t see in most conventional restaurants. If all Le Cinq served was expertly prepared french bistro food, Jay would surely be complaining about that given his fixation on price. I, for one, found the spherifications pretty unique - there was the flavored “air bag”, the “soup dumpling” and frozen spheres, all with different textures and structures. It was certainly not a monotonous onslaught of calcium alginate El Bulli copycats. 

My lips purse, like a cat’s arse that’s brushed against nettles.

No one cares about your infantile reactions to food, nor your reliance on vulgar analogies to try to keep us interested because you lost any tasting notes you had from your meal (if you take them at all, I can’t believe you get paid to do work like this). 

I have spent sums like this on restaurant experiences before, and have not begrudged it.

Ah, the “I’m not a racist; I have a black friend” of restaurant reviewing. Just because you enjoyed a meal at another restaurant once doesn’t mean you’re objective now. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, Jay doesn’t know how to use an iPhone. Here’s a side by side of his photo of french onion spheres taken on his iPhone 7 and a photo I took on my iPhone 5S, both with available lighting.

It’s continually difficult to make sure the fee you are paying is similar to the lowest you may e-book some place else, but assuming it’s miles aggressive, you may as properly get A few brought cost extras, and RockStar seems to understand this.

This new launch is provided right here as beneficial news for frequent and ways-flung tourists – I’ve never used the carrier and may critique it. However, the Rock Celebrity portfolio does include Some really terrific Resorts, together with the elegant Armani in Milan and the Palazzo Barbarigo in Venice, a restored 16th-century palace proper on the Grand Canal. The best Inn in the portfolio I’ve in my view stayed at on my own is the Inn Alfonso XIII in Spain’s Seville, and I’d heartily suggest it to any tourist to this first-rate town, a captivating and particular luxurious property with an unbeatable location.

The institution presently consists of Resorts and Accommodations in Italy, France, Croatia, Greece, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Portugal.

In addition to vetting and curating now and again difficult to understand luxury Inns below one strong website, the employer claims to offer its customers special perks with the intention to cause them to feel like rock stars – at no additional fee.

These currently include free improvements, early check-in/the past due test-out while to be had, and complimentary facilities, with extra specific advantages deliberate for the future. that is much like the perks provided with the aid of the many well-known Accommodations aligned with the Virtuoso consortium of excessive-give up tour sellers, which I have written approximately right here earlier than.

If a Virtuoso employer books your stay you get extras, from improvements to spa credit to meals, which you wouldn’t get booking yourself or thru a unique travel agent. It’s continually tough to be sure the fee you’re paying is the same as the lowest you could e-book somewhere else, but assuming it is competitive, you may as properly get Some brought price extras, and RockStar seems to recognize this. This new release is supplied here as beneficial news for common and long way-flung travelers – I have never used the service and might critique it. But, the Rock Celebrity portfolio does include Some clearly excellent Motels, which includes the elegant Armani in Milan and the Palazzo Barbarigo in Venice, a restored 16th-century palace right at the Grand Canal. The simplest Motel inside the portfolio I’ve individually stayed at by myself is the Inn Alfonso XIII in Spain’s Seville, and I’d heartily suggest it to any vacationer to this amazing metropolis, a captivating and precise luxury assets with an unbeatable place.

The organization currently consists of Inns and Motels in Italy, France, Croatia, Greece, the Czech Republic, Spain, and Portugal.
