As well as being one of the most evocative districts of Paris, The Marais is fast becoming the place to stay for both visitors and Parisiens alike. So now, as well as the trendy cafes and restaurants, art galleries, fabulous historic buildings and a delicious collection of boutiques, there’s also a number of great places to stay. Our Hotel Gurus have compiled a collection of the best hotels in The Marais selected for their design, service, and amenities. Whether you're looking for a property with all the period features or a more contemporary stay, our collection has something to suit most tastes and budgets. So why not browse through our list to start planning your next city break?
For period style
- If you're looking for a slice of period luxury then try the Pavillon de la Reine, a historic 17th-century mansion tucked away in the Marais, on one of the finest squares in Paris. This charming hotel feels like a country house hotel with its honesty bar and small spa.
- For a seamless blend of period and contemporary style, Cour des Vosges excels. Located on one of Paris’ most beautiful squares, this gorgeous 12-room hotel is set within a 17th century building. Full of original artworks, sculptures and tapestries, it's a hidden treasure just waiting to be explored.
For designer chic
- If you prefer more flair for your euro, try the Hotel Bourg Tibourg. This handsome townhouse, which has been transformed into a flamboyant Moorish Palace by designer Jaques Garcia, is very romantic and certainly far more affordable than its famous sister establishment across town, the Costes.
-
Le Petit Moulin, a Christian Lacroix designed offering, also oozes style. Converted from one of Paris' oldest boulangeries — probably used by Victor Hugo — it’s now a super chic, but quiet haven in this busy neighbourhood.
- Indulge your rule-breaking side with a stay at this risqué Paris bolt-hole. The lobby of Sinner feels like a bohemian apartment, adorned with Persian rugs and eclectic antiques. The same style extends to the rooms where minibars tempt guests with absinthe. A sensual city break.
- Perfectly positioned in the Marais, steps away from iconic museums, boutiques, and historic squares, Solly Hotel offers sleek and chic design in spades. Plush velvet furnishings, marble touches, and Art Deco flair create a sumptuous haven topped off with views of the Eiffel Tower.
- Stylish interiors are low-key and minimal, with muted greys, pastels and soft lighting at Hotel National des Arts et Metiers. Featuring a hip bar and a top-quality Italian restaurant. This is a very fitting base from which to explore belle Paris!
- Minimalist rooms with pops of colour and chic design touches give Hotel Experimental Marais a certain flair. There's a sophisticated restaurant, chic bar, and serene spa, making this a very refined retreat.
For a boutique
-
Le Grand Mazarin is a charming boutique hotel which blends classical Parisian elegance with quirky design. Rooms are decorated with colourful tapestries and mismatched prints, plus there's an excellent restaurant and a lively bar. An in-house hammam spa and mosaic swimming pool seal the deal.
-
Hotel Les Bains is an effortlessly chic hotel occupying the site of 19th-century private baths. Retro rooms feature throw-back mahogany furniture and rotary-dial phones. Complete with an underground nightclub and a swimming pool — this is a very stylish spot.
- The design of the boutique Hotel de JoBo is inspired by Empress Joséphine Bonaparte. Stylish guestrooms have lavish toile de jouy wallpaper and patterned curtains. Complete with a cocktail bar, this is a chic choice.
- For a charming townhouse in Paris' 10th district, Hôtel Providence fits the bill. Its 18 stylish rooms feature a wonderful blend of antiques, flea market finds and designer pieces — book the Penthouse Suite for romantic Montmartre views. Serious Parisian style.
For a hip hotel
- It’s not what this district is known for, but if you’re looking for an urban vibe then the 1K Hotel should tick all the right boxes; this is a hotel that feels like a nightclub. Two of the 52 rooms even have their own plunge pools!
For couples
-
Caron de Beaumarchais is a characterful boutique hideaway. The lobby feels like stepping into an 18th-century French drawing-room, with intricate objets d'art and floral motifs. Heritage suites have exposed beams and period artwork, while romantic gable rooms offer views of the rooftops. Ideal for couples.
- Historic decor and period furnishings make Hotel Le Presbytere a charming choice in the heart of Paris. Surrounded by Gothic elegance, guests can enjoy in-room breakfast, mini bars, and coffee makers. With its exposed beams and high ceilings, it's the perfect romantic retreat.
- For a sumptuous couples' stay with a hint of nostalgia, Maison Proust is an excellent choice. The charming interiors boast Belle Époque opulence with velvet drapes, intricate wallpaper and antique furnishings. Unwind in the library or indulge in the ultimate relaxation at the luxurious spa.
For families
-
Hotel Jeanne D'Arc is a charming hideaway with spacious family suites and a friendly laidback feel. Guestrooms are dressed in a warm palette, with boutique wallpaper and cosy throws. An easy choice for families.
For contemporary design
-
Maison Breguet is a chic hideaway offering smart modern guestrooms with carefully selected design pieces and plenty of glass and wood. Complete with a subterranean spa, this is a pint-sized luxury bolt-hole.
-
Hotel Duo is contemporary rather than super modern, but its clean, minimal lines and commitment to design, plus its garden, lounge bar and fitness room make it an easy choice if you prefer things less fussy.
