Once again, our favorite celebrity hotel hopper, Josh Flagg is back from yet another whirlwind of hotel adventures. First up, he reports on the renovations happening at Four Seasons George V in Paris. Except, he actually stayed in a far nicer room.

I must say, I was extremely delighted when I stayed at the George V this Christmas. The hotel has started the floor by floor renovation of its guestrooms and suites and they are even better than the last renovation in 2000. The rooms have got a new fluff with brand new modern amenities and have maintained all that was already so great about these rooms.

The video's instructions are entirely in French but those who can't parlez-vous Francais can still easily learn how to make the bed, insert a duvet, put on pillowcases, clean the bathtub, clean the mirrors and scrub the bath fixtures (ok, this last one would have been a little more helpful if we had understood French.)These tips were fun

The hotel assures us that they are "not doing any noise as we are doing a SOFT renovation."Looks like things may have gotten lost in translation when <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/4/4/165345/1458/hotels/The_Four_Seasons_George_V_Has_Finally_Fixed_Itself_Up">we heard</a> that the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Four+Seasons+George+V/local/704">Four Seasons George V</a> in Paris was unveiling its renovations this month. A hotel rep now tells us that the renovations have only just begun. We pressed for a more specific timeline but we haven't heard back.

Perhaps the folks at FSGV asked themselves the same thing because they have just completed a three-year renovation on the hotel, to be unveiled this month. Designer Pierre Yves-Rochon is the brains behind the $28 million revamp and each of the 245 rooms have been brought into the 21st century with coffee-making machines, extra sockets, bigger mirrors and extra TVs. A new Honeymoon Suite has also been created with five terraces and 360 degree views over Paris. Tres Romantic but five terraces, seriously
