Hotels Own Introduction
Grands Boulevards Experimental: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Paris
Nestled between the 2nd and 9th arrondissements, Grands Boulevards Experimental is a tranquil retreat tucked away from the lively Parisian streets. Ideally located near iconic landmarks such as the Opera and the vibrant Marais, this boutique hotel is steeped in history. Built shortly before the French Revolution on the site of a secret garden, it stands as a harmonious blend of Paris’s rich past and contemporary elegance.
A Design Rooted in History
Conceived by renowned designer Dorothée Meilichzon, the hotel’s interior pays homage to its 18th-century origins while steering clear of predictable Louis XVI motifs. Instead, the design captures the romanticism and aristocracy of the era with playful, modern touches, creating an atmosphere that is both refined and welcoming. The hotel features 50 beautifully appointed bedrooms, each offering a serene escape infused with charm and sophistication.
Culinary Excellence Under Glass
At the heart of the hotel lies a stunning restaurant, set beneath a grand glass roof. Led by celebrated chef Giovanni Passerini, the menu revisits the timeless classics of French-Italian country cuisine, crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients. Guests can dine in the landscaped courtyard, where the central bar and retractable glass roof strike the perfect balance between indoor elegance and open-air ambience.
Cocktail Bars with Character
The hotel is home to two distinctive cocktail bars:
- The Ground Floor Bar: A stylish centerpiece within the courtyard, perfect for casual drinks or pre-dinner cocktails.
- The Shed Rooftop Bar: Perched atop the hotel, this hidden Eden offers year-round allure. With sweeping views of Paris’s rooftops, it’s an idyllic spot for intimate cocktails or lively evenings with friends, away from the city’s bustle.
A Serene Escape in Paris
Grands Boulevards Experimental invites guests to experience the best of Parisian hospitality in a setting that seamlessly merges historical charm with modern comfort. Whether dining under the stars, savoring expertly crafted cocktails, or simply retreating to a thoughtfully designed room, the hotel offers an unforgettable escape in the City of Light.
