Bohemian nightlife playground
A sultry Marais gathering spot where bohemian history meets late-night energy, drawing a stylish crowd from evening cocktails to subterranean DJ sets.
“Les Bains has now been restored to its former glory, with contemporary additions … that act as a gracious backdrop to the hotel’s dramatic original details.”

Here they’ve created a space that exhibits an infinity of moods, where each sub-space is a different scene entirely, sometimes bohemian, sometimes baroque...
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Tucked into the third arrondissement north of the Pompidou Centre, you are steps from the indie fashion boutiques and bistros of the Marais.
The rooms
Custom velvet seating, exposed plaster, and dark timber frame the bedrooms, while select suites add private hammams and open balconies.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The subterranean vitality pool sits beneath mosaic arches, equipped with counter-current swimming jets and a waterfall.
The spa
Two boudoir treatment rooms host Kobido and Tibetan massages with signature scented oils, alongside a hammam.
Dogs stay too.
Roxo Restaurant & Bar
Craft cocktails and seasonal plates are served beneath a dripping red lacquer ceiling beside heated, plant-filled patios.
The property, the creation of filmmaker Jean-Pierre Marois, is sleek yet psychedelic with its red lacquer pillars, teardrop-shaped ceilings, and reflective walls.
At the table
Restored nineteenth-century stained glass and dark wood panelling line Salon Chinois, an intimate lounge reserved exclusively for guests.
How it began
Marcel Proust once took the waters here when the building was an 1885 bathhouse, long before its 1980s nightclub incarnation.
