Le Grand Mazarin in Le Marais brings a fresh, playful twist to Parisian luxury. Designed by Martin Brudnizki, the hotel leans into maximalism, with rich fabrics, jade velvet tassels, and swan-tap sinks adding character to every room. It’s chic but never pretentious, echoing the lively blend of fashion, art, and LGBTQ+ culture in Le Marais. Located near the Hôtel de Ville and the Seine, Le Grand Mazarin is a key player in the local scene, with its restaurant Boubalé, where chef Assaf Granit crafts a modern take on Ashkenazi cuisine that draws locals and travelers alike.

Big names in art, design, and bartending give this place an edge, but it’s the cozy atmosphere that keeps you hooked.

Hôtel Les Deux Gares

the tenth

Les Deux Gares, the first hotel designed by Luke Edward Hall, is a vibrant mix of English flair and French soul. Tucked between Gare du Nord and Gare de l’Est in the 10th arrondissement, this boutique is a wild and playful throwback to the past. The spaces pop with striped headboards, velvet armchairs, toile wallpaper, and bold colors throughout. Hall pulls from French tradition while adding his signature patterns and colorways. The result? Chic but never too serious. His hand-drawn tributes to icons like Jean Cocteau and Angela Davis add a personal touch, and even the gym—with floral wallpaper and a checkered floor—is more about style than sweat.

The rooms, with their hand-painted wallpapers and retro furnishings, have loads of personality. It’s not about high-tech luxury here, but if you’re after a laid-back, character-filled stay with a bit of greenery, Hôtel Eldorado is right on target.
