A 5-star boutique hotel in the heart of Paris' Le Marais
x / y
Beyond the doors of 116 rue du Temple lies Experimental Marais, a 5-star hidden treasure in the heart of Paris. Once a hedonistic haven, now entrusted to Experimental. A new page turned, a fresh journey for the iconic hotel.
A location steeped in history, the beloved 3rd arrondissement unfolding across cobblestone alleys, the hum of passersby blend into a symphony of discovery. Each corner is a balance of timeless elegance, and at the heart, Experimental Marais embraces a storied past, each chapter woven with touches of its future.
Inside, 43 luxury rooms and suites reimagined by Tristan Auer pay homage to the area’s history, an air of ecclesiastical touches, a monastic universe reaching spectacular heights. The design, told through the eyes of an elusive traveller perpetually one step ahead leaving mementos collected.
A restaurant beckons with tales of New York intertwined with French tradition, a bar hidden away for evening drinks and clandestine conversation, a nod to New York nightlife.
A spa upstairs offers sanctuary with bespoke treatments, facials and massages. The cherry on top, a Roman bath tucked away.
Everything, right here under one roof.

About
A hotel comes to life
A voyage unfolds, each step a revelation of far flung lands retold by designer Tristan Auer. A five-star hotel steeped in the neighbourhood’s ecclesiastical heritage and moved by the lore of lost travellers, Auer is joined by visual artist Clovis Retif to create the fictitious tale of an extraordinary gentleman just out of reach yet present in spirit. A vision realised as a nod to mid-century New York and a nuance of gothic mystery, where darker tones, mirrors and intimate spaces are waiting to be discovered. An object found around every turn, a souvenir to tell a story, a piece of art hung taken from the collection from their elusive explorer.
