Le Grand Mazarin
Maximalist literary salon — think Wes Anderson directing a period drama about a Parisian aristocrat's townhouse. Colorful, theatrical, design-obsessed, and surprisingly warm. The fashion and creative crowds have already claimed it as their own.
The restaurant entrance is at 6 Rue des Archives — the hotel entrance on Rue de la Verrerie is deliberately low-key and easy to miss.
Why It Matters
The Brudnizki design alone would be enough — nearly 500 artworks, bespoke Aubusson tapestries by Entreprises du Patrimoine Vivant, and frescoes by local artist Jacques Merle over the underground pool. Then add Boubalé, the Ashkenazi/Levantine restaurant run by Israel's first Michelin-starred chef in France, Assaf Granit. The hotel earned 1 Key in the Michelin Guide. Parts of the building date to the 14th century.
Le Grand Mazarin is a 61-room, five-star boutique hotel in the Marais that doesn't do understated. Opened in September 2023, it's Maisons Pariente's first Paris property — and designer Martin Brudnizki (the man behind London's Annabel's) went completely off-script, layering pistachio greens, soft corals, Murano glass chandeliers, hand-painted murals, and Aubusson-style tapestry bed canopies across every surface. It sits catercorner to City Hall, directly opposite the BHV department store, on a small corner of Place Harvey Milk.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Classic Room
Entry-level room with Brudnizki's signature pattern-on-pattern treatment — patterned carpets against printed walls, custom bedside lamps, and the Aubusson-style tapestry canopy above the bed. Not large, but the design makes every inch count. Soundproofed windows, espresso machine, minibar with some complimentary items.
Deluxe Room
The most plentiful category — around 47 rooms. Some units on higher floors have balconies overlooking Rue de la Verrerie, which is worth the upgrade. Generous space for a Paris boutique hotel, with heated bathroom floors, a walk-in shower, and that signature tapestry canopy stretching above the bed. The in-room DIY cocktail bar is a nice touch.
Parisian Junior Suite
More generous square footage with a distinct sense of calm — natural light, a separate sitting area, and the full Brudnizki treatment cranked up a notch. Popular for romantic stays and family getaways alike. Can be connected with a Deluxe Room for larger groups.
Suite Mazarin
The largest category, ranging from 409 to 527 sq ft, with a separate living room, a private hammam in the bathroom, and a balcony overlooking either the Hôtel de Ville or the winter garden. Suites 508, 509, and 606 can be combined into a three-bedroom duplex. Bathtubs are exclusive to this category — the only rooms where you get a proper soak. Stocked with antique pieces and whimsical Brudnizki touches throughout.
43 sqmSuperior Room
A step up in space with the same maximalist DNA — antiques sourced from Parisian flea markets, leopard-print armchairs, and bold Pierre Frey fabrics. Three rooms are PMR-accessible in this category. Heated towel rack and walk-in shower in the bathroom.

How you'll actually spend your days.
A dedicated majordome service for bespoke arrangements — restaurant reservations, private transfers, curated Marais neighborhood itineraries, and surprise in-room touches like custom bookmarks left on nightstand books.
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, DJ sets begin at Boubalé during dinner and continue in the basement speakeasy until 2am. A cosmopolitan, festive atmosphere that draws both hotel guests and Marais locals.
The hotel periodically hosts artist residencies and workshops — recent examples include painting sessions with pop artist Leona Rose and intimate concerts with French singer Camélia Jordana at Le Petit Bazar.
Seated three-course brunch every Sunday 12–3pm with Mediterranean and Levantine flavors, bold cocktail pairings, and live music. One of the more talked-about Sunday brunches in the Marais.
