My career has taken me all over the world, nurturing my appetite for discovering new cultures and countries. Yet, Paris holds a special place in my heart – it’s the city of my roots and where I grew up. It is a capital imbued with timeless allure, yet ever forward-looking, and I am thrilled to be returning to this extraordinary city that has shaped so much of my personal and professional identity,” comments Thibaut Drege.

A graduate of the École Hôtelière de Lausanne, Thibaut Drege has nearly two decades of experience in the luxury hospitality industry both in France and internationally. His love affair with the George V began in 2018 when he joined the iconic palace as Hotel Manager, marking the beginning of his career with Four Seasons.

Within this legendary Parisian palace, Thibaut Drege quickly earned the respect and admiration of a 600-strong team. Guided by his passion and unwavering dedication to this global icon of hospitality, he infused the Hotel with dynamic energy, devoting nearly five years to crafting unique experiences for guests.

I have fond memories of the first time I stepped into the marble hotel lobby, and of the five unforgettable years I spent in this storied and iconic setting. My time at the Hotel gave me a deep understanding of Four Seasons philosophy and its exacting standards of service, while working alongside a remarkable team of individuals – each driven by passion, expertise, and a shared commitment to creating personalised and ever more memorable experiences for guests.”

After playing a pivotal role in the Hotel's success in meeting several challenges, including the global health crisis, Thibaut Drege relocated to Budapest in 2022 to assume the role of General Manager at Four Seasons Gresham Palace. In this iconic European setting – an architectural gem along the banks of the Danube – he instilled a renewed energy and guided the property on a path to excellence, before returning to the French capital to the Hotel that holds a special place in his heart.

As General Manager, Thibaut Drege aims to further reinforce the principles that have established the Hotel’s international reputation, while infusing his vision, experience, and energy into every initiative. He is also committed to fostering a culture of kindness and empathy in his approach to team management.

At this pivotal moment for the Hotel, with numerous projects on the horizon, I am honoured that Four Seasons and the owners have entrusted me with these responsibilities. Together, we will continue to nurture the unique, yet constantly evolving, character of this iconic Hotel. From enhancing our offerings through improvement initiatives to upholding a service culture that is envied worldwide, I am committed to leveraging the foundations of our success and firmly anchoring this nearly century-old flagship of the luxury hotel industry in the modern era. Building on the unmatched expertise of our talented team – true artisans of our success, whose dedication and sincerity are unparalleled – we will continue to uphold the legacy and reputation of the palace, striving to exceed the standards of excellence that make the George V one of the finest hotels in the world.”
