Theatrical Marais hideaway
Under the soaring skylight, serpent-patterned carpets and velvet seating create a decadent salon alive with theatrical performances and late cocktails.
What it’s good at

An eighteenth-century clandestine theater and former convent preserved with historic vaulted stone basements and exposed timber beams.
Notable
Subterranean vaulted stone bath salons offer private ninety-minute sessions with a steam hammam, sauna, and relaxation pool.
What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
There’s a definitive vibe to Boudoir de Muses—one that’s romantic in an overt way, and unashamed of its provocative nature.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set along Rue de Saintonge, the hotel puts independent art galleries, specialty coffee shops, and lively bistros directly at your doorstep.
The rooms
Lighter palettes and exposed two-hundred-year-old timber beams define the rooms, framing views across surrounding Marais rooftops.
The plunge pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Inside Salon Hédoné, a heated plunge pool rests beneath vaulted stone ceilings and warm ambient lighting.
The sauna and hammam
Salon Vénus houses a dry sauna and sunken hydromassage jacuzzi. Next door, Salon Hédoné adds a tiled steam hammam.
The bath salons
Curved leather seating and candlelit stone alcoves create a moody retreat inside the vaulted subterranean suites.
At the table
Morning pastries and cocktails themed after muses are served beneath the glass atrium dome, surrounded by potted palms.
The playful decor includes a cabinet of candles fashioned as nude busts, erotic art, and a confessional box...
How it began
Napoleon closed the building's clandestine eighteenth-century theater in 1807, after which it became a convent before its modern revival.
