Outside the door
Tactile Marais atelier
Velvet banquettes, blackened steel, and subdued lighting create an earthy, tactile retreat for a fashionable Marais crowd.
“Masculine and muted greys and beige and blacks and wood floors and a dose of mid-century convey an all around serene minimalism.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Hand-carved quarry stone, slatted concrete walls, and raw linen panels define tactile contemporary interiors.
Notable
Nightly DJ sets and perfume-inspired botanical cocktails at L'Herbarium draw a stylish local crowd.
Listed
Set beside the historic Musée des Arts et Métiers, within easy walking distance of Marais boutiques.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Especially memorable are the accommodations, with their textured concrete walls, dusky colors, and plentiful artworks.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Positioned on Rue Saint-Martin, the hotel puts independent Marais boutiques, local bistros, and the Centre Pompidou within easy walking distance.
The rooms
Textured concrete walls meet solid oak floors and Tatra chairs, while upper-floor rooms overlook classic Parisian zinc rooftops.
Gym and massage
Downstairs, a dedicated treatment room offers tailored bodywork and facials beside a mirrored fitness space.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Ristorante National
House-made pastas are served beneath a glass atrium lined with curved velvet banquettes and indoor palms.
Surrounding a central courtyard, the guestrooms channel a similar sensibility with industrial cement slatted walls, Kvadrat headboards and Tatra chairs.
Bar
L'Herbarium
Drinks are blended around distinct fragrance families and poured across a textured, charred-wood bar counter.
How it began
Two nineteenth-century Haussmann buildings were unified into a contemporary retreat inspired by the nearby historic engineering museum.
