Paris has no shortage of beautiful hotels, but Experimental Marais isn’t trying to impress with grandeur – it’s here to make you feel at home, in the most distinctly chic way possible. Set in a 17th-century hôtel in the heart of the Marais, this flagship hotel from the Experimental Group is everything the brand does best: impeccable taste, a buzzing social heartbeat and cocktails so good they’ve redefined drinking culture. French designer Dorothée Meilichzon has woven together textures and tones that feel both effortless and intimate – arched doorways, sculptural lighting and a warm, intimate palette of mustard, deep green and soft neutrals. The real soul of Experimental Marais lives in its bar and bistro. By day, the restaurant serves classic produce-driven French dishes. By night, the dimly lit cocktail bar fills with locals and in-the-know travellers. The drinks? Pure alchemy – elegant, unexpected, always a little playful.
