Mère
Artsy, convivial, neighbourhood-forward. The design — by Alexandre Danan of European Design Office — mixes warm velvets, custom furniture, molecular honeycomb details, and rotating local art. It reads less like a hotel and more like a well-curated Parisian apartment.

Why It Matters
TripAdvisor Best of the Best 2024, ranked #1 in France. Nearly everything in the rooms is for sale, the décor rotates with local artists, and the ground-floor restaurant Nectar (led by a chef trained at Le George V and with Marc Veyrat) operates two serious tasting menus in the evening. Holds Clef Verte and Ecotable sustainability certifications.
Maison Mère is a 4-star boutique hotel that functions as a neighbourhood institution in Paris's 9th arrondissement, planted in the calm of Village Montholon — a pocket of the city that still feels genuinely residential. The hotel's concept is built around the idea of a 'grand guest house': rotating art on every wall, a curated pop-up store where most objects are for sale, a serious gastronomic restaurant called Nectar, and a free coworking café that draws in local creatives alongside guests. Rooms range from a compact 12m² solo cocoon to a 45m² two-room family suite under the Paris rooflines.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Douillette (Standard)
At 15m², the Douillette is the sweet spot for business travellers or couples who want more than a cupboard. Available as single, double, or connecting versions — the connecting option can open it up for small families. Super fluffy carpet adds to the cosy-nest feeling.
Double 180x190cm · 15 sqmParisienne (Supérieure)
The most popular category. 18m² with parquet floors and a distinctly French character. Available as single, double, connecting, or triple — and in the 'Parisienne au Balcon' variant, which adds an actual Paris balcony with open city views. Two rooms have PRM (wheelchair) access. Pet-friendly.
Double 180x200cm · 18 sqm
Petite
The smallest room in the house — a 12m² solo-traveller cocoon with the same tech and amenities as the larger rooms. Honest about its size: it's for people who plan to be out most of the day. Same quality bedding, blackout curtains, Bottega bath products, and smart TV as the rest.
Double 160x190cm · 12 sqm
Suite Crème de la Crème
The family/group suite — 45m² split across two rooms connected by a shared landing. Sleeps up to 6. The only room that makes sense for a group of friends or a family with older kids. Top-floor placement means Paris views from both rooms. Pet-friendly.
Two doubles 180x200cm · 45 sqmSuite Reine Mère
The flagship single-unit suite — 37m² under the Maison Mère roofline with bespoke custom furniture, a private dressing room, and a hammam. Sleeps 2–4. Unlimited soft drinks in the minibar included. This is the room for a proper Paris splurge without going full palace-hotel. Pet-friendly.
King 180x200cm · 37 sqmToit de Paris (Deluxe)
On the top floor, 20m², with rooftop-level views of Paris visible even from private spaces in the room. Parquet floors, private wardrobe, and the best views in the house for the price. Sleeps 2–3 guests. Pet-friendly.
