What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the rooms in the Hôtel Marotte’s ornate, classical Old House offer contemporary comfort in an elegant historic setting, while the ultra-modern Cube features three enormous suites with private spas and saunas
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Gothic cathedral stands a five-minute walk away, with pedestrian shopping lanes right outside the door.
The rooms
Modern Cube suites come with private saunas, while townhouse rooms keep their original plaster moldings and marble fireplaces.
The sauna and hammam
A mosaic-tiled Turkish hammam glows in blue light beside a sauna built with illuminated Himalayan salt bricks.
The spa and gym
Massages and black-soap scrubs take place under blue mood lighting, and the residents-only gym is open around the clock.
At the table
Breakfast is served beneath an atrium skylight in La Galerie des Recettes, set with curved velvet banquettes.
How it began
The stone annex once served as the municipal tax office, and still bears the word Recette carved into its pediment.
