The Marais district is a delight to wander through, with your head up admiring the architecture, or peering into shop windows searching for a fashion accessory. A stone's throw from the Seine, the BHV, or La Samaritaine, and packed with restaurants and bars, it's too great an opportunity to pass up sharing the addresses of the most beautiful hotels in the Marais.
Le Grand Mazarin, a hotel with the air of a literary salon
This is the address that has all of Paris buzzing. And it's right in the heart of the Marais that the Maison Pariente group will inaugurate its first Parisian address next May.
As expected, the building, located across from the BHV and the town hall, at the corner of Rue de la Verrerie and Rue des Archives, is historic. So yes, we enter this 5-star hotel like in a story. On tiptoe, yet with the feeling of being a little at home. Perhaps this is due to the combination of a grandiloquent setting with touches of pretty modernity. Another contrast, as soon as you step through the door, the hustle and bustle of the street fades away, and serenity takes over. 61 rooms and 11 suites: one can almost speak of boutique hotel. The hotel group entrusted Swedish interior designer Martin Brudnizki with transforming this residence into an aristocratic home, reminiscent of grand 17th-century literary salons. It certainly has a lot of natural light, which is necessary for this seemingly formal yet intimate atmosphere. The result? Each room opens up like a work of art, with furniture and decor from Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant, guaranteeing high-quality artisanal craftsmanship. The restaurant will be open continuously, like any respectable brasserie. As for the bar, it promises surprises. The cherry on top is a beautiful swimming pool, a rarity in the neighborhood. Just like the other Pariente establishments...Crillon le Brave, Lou Pinet, The Cuckoo…), the luxury hotel It also offers a Concierge service accredited by Les Clefs d'Or, Butler service, and 24-hour room service.

9Confidentiel Hotel
An Art Deco facade of the most elegant for a boudoir like a candy: giving free rein to his imagination, Philippe Starck plunged this 4-star hotel hidden on Rue du Roi de Sicile, at Paris Centre, in a dreamlike and sophisticated universe. The common areas combine the elegance of camel leather, brushed stainless steel, and light wood. The geometry of Pierre Frey rugs complements the cheerfulness of Ara Starck cushions and the originality of Yann Lasseyeff's sculptures. 29 keys ascend the 6 floors. Here, you don't stay in room number 15 or 26, but with Odette or Lucienne. Soft hues, like a barely-awake yellow, a powdery pink. And in the bathroom, beveled mirrors as if to better disorient. For a romantic getaway, head to one of the 3 suites with views of the Paris rooftops. But just before that, it's at Confidence that you'll confide, whispering sweet nothings while sipping one of the daring Signature cocktails.

Sinner Paris
By signing this 5-star hotel, did the Evok group intend to be equivocal? Quirky, certainly. We walk through dark red hallways adorned with lanterns and mystery. A door with a knocker announces each of the 43 rooms and suites, superbly personalized cocoons with a love for bright colors. In the brightly lit restaurant, illuminated by stained glass, we let our instincts lead the way, moving from a Peruvian ceviche to an Indonesian nasi lomak. The Master Artisan of France (Mof) Yann Brys is the head pastry chef. One can only give in to temptation. Head up to the bar. A panoramic view of the restaurant, yet an intimate atmosphere. Push open this door studded with nails... welcome to the spa Drawing its decor from Greco-Roman baths, add a candlelit crypt, like a cabinet of curiosities. And you'll have summarized one of the most unique hotels in the Marais.

Hotel JoBo
JoBo? The nickname unites Josephine de Beauharnais and her Bonaparte for eternity, perfectly in keeping with the Directoire style of this 4-star hotel, nestled in a former convent near Place des Vosges. Directoire... but audaciously revisited by decorator Bambi Sloan, who imbues her fantasy into each of the 24 rooms. Toiles de Jouy are met with cockades and stripes, while leopard prints are adorned with blues. Josephine's love of roses is found on the Emperor's campaign tent, which surprises upon entry, as do the Malmaison-inspired carpets and repainted beams. With a tea room and a bar, the atmosphere is as romantic as it is rock ’n' roll.

Hôtel Jules & Jim
It requires imagination to recognize the former precious metal processing plant that once operated here within this four-star establishment. Only the 18th-century framework remains.e a cocktail bar century and a duplex suite. 23 rooms characterized by simplicity, featuring raw concrete and solid wood, glass, and stone. No minibar, but 24-hour room service, superb bedding, and perfect soundproofing. And this long art gallery that extends to the bar and into the courtyard: you can buy the artworks, and all the profit is given back to the artists.
