In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The Haut Marais surrounds the hotel with independent art galleries and designer boutiques, just steps from Marché des Enfants Rouges.
The rooms
Exposed wooden beams, brocante dressers, and framed botanical prints define the rooms, while a quiet suite tucks under the eaves.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Breakfast is served beneath the stone vaults, laid with gingham tablecloths, neighborhood pastries, and Gilles Vérot charcuterie.
How it began

Designer Marion Collard reimagined the seventeenth-century townhouse as a boutique hotel-confiserie, inspired by the spirit of southwestern French family homes.
