That's fucking hysterical...

The dining room, deep in the hotel, is a broad space of high ceilings and coving, with thick carpets to muffle the screams. It is decorated in various shades of taupe, biscuit and fuck you. 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. There’s a stool for the lady’s handbag. Well, of course there is.

The avenue George V is off The Avenue des Champs-Élysées,. I've walked past the hotel many times. The doormen wear costumes that make them look like minor flunkies in the court of Henry VIII. They really are sunk, being in a district with no shortage of fabulous expensive dining, in a country that prides itself on its cuisine.
