Join me on a voyage to the captivating Le Grand Mazarin, a gem concealed in the core of Paris.
Upon entering this opulent boutique hotel, I was captivated by its distinctive fusion of historical charm, artistic expression, and contemporary elegance – everything one anticipates from Paris and beyond.
Le Grand Mazarin, with its roots stretching back to the 14th century, stands at the heart of the vibrant Marais district, a testament to the rich tapestry of history. Nestled opposite the renowned BHV department store, it is mere moments from the Seine and the storied Hotel de Ville. The hotel is enveloped by the Marais district, known for its lively ambiance and historical allure. The area’s bohemian essence permeates every nook, offering a unique blend of past and present.
Le Grand Mazarin is the brainchild of Maisons Pariente, a family-owned collection of stylish designer hotels in France. Their vision for this Parisian gem is simple yet generous—a celebration of Parisian luxury that transcends time.
Le Grand Mazarin’s interiors present a dynamic symphony of colours, materials, and patterns. Architect Martin Brudnizki masterfully merges French classicism with whimsical touches. The lobby features tastefully arranged alcoves and bookshelves that exude sophistication. The indoor swimming pool, a unique feature in Paris, is topped with a hand-painted mural by local artist Jacques Merle, adding a magical touch to the ambiance.
The accommodations at Le Grand Mazarin tantalize the senses with their pistachio-green walls, artistically painted wardrobes, and elegant striped chaise lounges, crafting a tranquil yet lavish atmosphere. The tapestry-draped canopy beds conjure images of medieval castles, and the playful lobster wallpaper hidden behind the wardrobe doors adds an element of surprise. It’s truly a sight to behold.
For a unique culinary journey, consider Boubalé, the hotel’s restaurant, affectionately named after the childhood nickname “my little doll/darling.” Each dish represents the fusion of two continents, creating a tapestry of vibrant and delicious flavours.
The staff, fluent in multiple languages, provide exceptional service and possess extensive local knowledge.
Le Grand Mazarin transcends the ordinary hotel stay; it’s an adventure in itself. Indulge in the creative cuisine, immerse yourself in the lively Marais district, or relax in the mosaic-lined pool – each moment is akin to a page out of an enthralling story. Visit for the sophistication and linger for the essence of enchantment.
Le Grand Mazarin serves as a sophisticated sanctuary, perfect for families and discerning travellers alike. Whether you’re visiting for business or pleasure, this conveniently located gem provides an unforgettable retreat.
