Also
It’s now one of the most fashionable districts on earth, but until religious orders arrived in the 12th century, the Marais was a muddy swamp. In fact, the word ‘marais’ literally translated means ‘marsh’.

Our favourite rooms
You can’t go wrong, as each spacious (especially by Paris standards) room has pinch-yourself views over the pretty Place des Vosges, with its pitched-roof mansions and wide, sandy avenues. To rev the romance, request a Deluxe Suite – they have 16-feet-high ceilings, canopy beds with sliding panels (ooh là là) and a fully equipped kitchenette, so there’s no need to ever leave your love nest.
Poolside
The ground floor holds a surprising secret – behind a wrought-iron door, under a vaulted ceiling, is a toute petite heated pool in the style of a Roman bath.
Spa
Though there’s no spa, the hotel has designed its own range of facials and body treatments to have in your room. Choose from all-natural and vegan facials created by La Colline or bodily ministrations designed by Jimmy Jarnet, a masterful masseur and personal trainer.
Packing tips
Reading glasses for getting lost in the selection of novels and arty tomes in your room. Plus, your most expensive pyjamas – it’s the kind of place that makes you want to look good even while unconscious.
Also
Due to the building’s historic bones, the hotel is unfortunately unsuitable for wheelchair users.
Pet‐friendly
Small dogs weighing in at under 10kg are welcome with advance notice; bowls are provided. See more pet-friendly hotels in Paris.
Children
All ages are welcome. Be careful – little Smiths might want to skip sightseeing once they see the Playstation in your room. Toys, baby baths, and highchairs are available on request.
Sustainability efforts
All food used is organic and seasonal; there’s also a pair of electric bicycles to borrow.
