An iconic boutique hotel reimagined in Le Marais

A luxury hotel reinvented by Tristan Auer

A jewel box tucked away in the centre of Paris. An icon of Le Marais, reimagined by celebrated interior architect Tristan Auer. A touch of inspiration from the neighbourhood’s ecclesiastical past where towering ceilings are met with stained glass and radical lines.

Yet, the embodiment of New York grace in equal parts, delicately woven together through every space, from the chic dining room at Temple & Chapon and the hidden sanctuary of the spa, to the 43 tranquil bedrooms where postcard views unfurl beyond each window.

Each touch, a collaboration with visual artist Clovis Retif, whose imagination led him to the mind of the fictitious Henri Evelyn Marcel, a charismatic imaginary guest, whose forgotten mementos are treasures hidden around every corner. A true immersion into the life of someone else, just out of reach, following in his wake.

When a hotel becomes a work of art

Clovis Retif’s imagination realised, a collaboration with interior architect Tristan Auer. A journey inspired by Charles Denner, Jean-Louis Trintignant, Peter Beard and Philip Glass to create Henri Evelyn Marcel, an imaginary guest who filled spaces with mementos and murals, a portrait in the cocktail bar to elicit conversation.

A neighbourhood steeped in historic charm and brimming with some of Paris' best boutiques, galleries, restaurants and bars. A place to get lost down winding cobblestone streets, discovering the iconic architecture of the Right Bank, right in the centre of Paris.

A journey through history, culture and green spaces in the centre of Paris

A haven of galleries interspersed through winding streets. Galerie Rx pays homage to Paris’ dynamic art scene, and at Denise René luminaries like Soto and Cruz-Diez adorn the walls. Step into Galerie Nathalie Obadia, showing artists from all over the world.

A tapestry of museums to discover from The Musée des Art et Métiers, where Foucault’s pendulum is proudly displayed, the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature for a look back at hunting traditions, and a stop at Maison de Victor Hugo is a must, offering a glimpse into the years he spent living there.

An exploration beneath sunny skies. The Jardin Anne Frank down a quaint alleyway is a delight of lush greenery and an orchard. The Square Georges Cain in the heart of the Marais sits atop former medieval vegetable gardens, where a towering fig tree stands.
