Hotels Own Introduction
a hidden gem in the marais
Behind the discreet doors of 116 rue du Temple lies Experimental Marais, a five-star retreat steeped in history and intrigue. Once a hedonistic hideaway, it has been reimagined by the Experimental Group as a sanctuary of quiet sophistication in the heart of Paris’s 3ème arrondissement. Here, the spirit of the Marais comes alive in cobblestone lanes, leafy courtyards, and the hum of discovery around every corner.
a design-led story by tristan auer
Within, 43 rooms and suites designed by Tristan Auer weave together history, imagination, and a touch of the divine. Drawing inspiration from the area’s ecclesiastical roots, Auer crafts an atmosphere of monastic calm with a worldly twist. Each space feels like the home of a well-travelled wanderer, filled with objects and memories gathered from far-flung adventures.
dining and cocktails with a new york flair
The hotel’s restaurant tells a transatlantic story—New York energy meets Parisian savoir-faire in a menu that balances comfort and creativity. Downstairs, the American Bar invites guests into a world of dim light, smooth jazz, and expertly mixed cocktails—an homage to the golden age of New York nightlife.
wellness reimagined
Beyond the night’s indulgence lies serenity. The hotel’s spa is a temple to renewal, offering tailored treatments from rejuvenating facials to restorative massages. Hidden within, a Roman bath awaits—an intimate, tranquil escape from the vibrant rhythm of Paris, perfect for an early morning swim or a quiet evening unwind.
